Album Review - Pat Green - Cannonball

By Kirk deCordova

Considering that he independently released his debut in 1995, Pat Green 
has been around for a long time. He paid his dues by performing on the 
college circuit, which included stints at his own school (Texas Tech), 
and he frequently has been tabbed as the support act for an array of 
regionally known and nationally known country artists. Through it all, 
Green has resisted the market forces that would like nothing better than 
to wrest creative control away from him. Although albums like Three Days 
(2001) and Wave on Wave (2003) have seen him slowly but surely climbing 
into the mainstream spotlight, it's on his latest effort Cannonball that 
he seems poised to stand alongside the leaders of the country music scene.
