Album Of The Week

"Äkta paret Jim Patton & Sherry Brokus från Texas gör en slags lågmäld musik, som bäst kan beskrivas som amerikansk folkrock korsad med country, och i något spår med lite stänk av blues. Typ sådana där toner som bäst passar på en liten scen med närkontakt till lyssnarna."

- Torbjörn Berlin / Berlin Calling -

"Jim Patton & Sherry Brokus gör en duettplatta med de mest välgjorda countrylåtar, som behagligt flyter fram och bygger upp en fri själ som flyger uppbyggligt högt upp i den koboltfärgade himlen. En amerikansk legendarisk örn som är fri och flyger stolt. Men ändå väldigt jordnära i myllan i ett väl underbyggt album."

- Micheles Kindh / Blaskan -

"Med 'Big Red Gibson' har Jim Patton & Sherry Brokus gjort ett riktigt bra album, med vackra melodier och berättande texter, ackompanjerade av skickliga och samspelta medmusikanter."

- Börje Holmén / Musikbloggen 67 -

"Jim Patton & Sherry Brokus' 'Big Red Gibson' represents a return to the rockier side of their folk rock origins for the 1st time since 2005, when they put their band Edge City on hiatus. The band on 'Big Red Gibson' plays with a Tom Petty and Byrds influence, led by Cordy Lavery’s electric 12 string guitar."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"Patton & Brokus are back. This time, the Austin folk rock duo have brought 20 songs to ‘Big Red Gibson’. Patton takes on most of the vocals on this latest album, as Brokus has been struggling with allergies. As far as the pair go, it is a more rock than folk entry into their discography, but anyone who has a distaste for overproduction will like this album. A little rough around the edges, but all the better for it. With the fun harmonies on ‘Janey Has A Locket’ being a highlight, the rock‘n’roll sound of ‘Big Red Gibson’ is really what we are here for, particularly the electric guitar on ‘Wild, Dumb and Unsatisfied’."

- Hannah Larvin / Maverick Magazine -

"Out of Texas comes singer songwriter duo Jim Patton & Sherry Brokus, whom already delivered 7 albums in the past 14 years, and 'Big Red Gibson' is their new baby. Any of the 11 included songs will be appreciated if you’re into their style. Jim’s vocals are raw and rough, sounding like he’s been singing for decades, which is probably also the truth, but he has that crispy whiske like tone in his voice, kinda like Willie Nelson, if you know what I mean. Anyway, these are the real story telling songs that are perfectly sung by Jim."

- Gabor Kleinbloesem / Strutterzine -

"Austin, Texas based musician Jim Patton keeps writing and singing splendid songs for his albums, just like on his most recently released record, 'Big Red Gibson'. He brings 11 folk, country and rock songs together with his lovely wife Sherry Brokus and thereby adds another memorable new CD to their already comprehensive discography."

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -

"Jim Patton & Sherry Brokus' 'Big Red Gibson' is mostly done in a medium tempo manner, with occasionally more inserted rockier elements, the songs have a lyrical dimension and refined musicianship of all participants in the realization of the material."

- Branimir Lokner / Time Machine Music -
