"To me, the only way songwriting works is if you write the truth. It's the only way it works, period. Where I'm going as a writer, what I'm looking for is an expansion of the truth, finding out more truth - especially about me.
It's easier to write about me, because I know where I am. As a younger man, it was easy to get to my truth: I was a simple man, having fun. As you get older it gets more complicated - but it's also about opening up a lot more places. After all, that's where the deeper truth resides."
Since Pat Green started building a life in songs, framed with a husky voice that suggests long nights, worn memories and deep passions, and a battered acoustic guitar that was perhaps his most constant companion, the search for that truth has made him the kind of artist that just about all of Texas could see their own truths in. Along the way, he's garnered three Grammy nominations; had a Top 5 Billboard Country Single with "Wave On Wave"; sold out the Houston Astrodome twice; and done the kind of business in his home state superstars yearn for; and has had enough exportability to be certified Gold with Wave On Wave , his second album for New York's Republic/Universal Records. But beyond the milestones and landmarks, for Pat Green, it's a journey in song. It's a way of excavating the layers and plains of his own heart - and hopefully deepening his understanding of the rest of us along the way.
