Songs We Wish We'd Written

Amazon.com
As dancehall troubadours popular on the Texas collegiate circuit, Pat Green and Cory Morrow have followed the boot heels of Jerry Jeff Walker and Robert Earl Keen. This aptly titled collaboration extends that circle of influence, paying tribute to songwriters from Waylon Jennings ("Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?") and Billy Joe Shaver ("Live Forever") to Townes Van Zandt ("Ain't Leavin' Your Love") and John Prine ("Paradise"). Surprises come from a couple of classic-rock ringers: Stealer's Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You" and a fiddle-driven rendition of Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home." For all their down-home appeal, neither Green nor Morrow is more than serviceable as an interpretive singer, but it's hard to quibble with the production by Lloyd Maines or the selection of material. --Don McLeese

Ok to wish they'd written them..........2006-03-02

But they should have left the singing to the original artists.
I love Pat Green, but he needs to stick to his own stuff.

You must be crazy if you don't like this CD.......2003-06-29

I am a huge fan of Pat Green, ever since my brother introduced me to him. I've always been a country music lover, but it took me until about 2 or 3 years ago to get into Texas Country. Although I was born and raised here. I love this CD. Pat does an awesome job, and with what little I'd heard from Cory previous to this CD, I think he did awesome too. You can really just listen to every song on this CD and go along with it. That's a sign to a great CD. If you like country - purchase this CD.

Pat 'N' Cory.......2003-06-15

Pat Green and Cory Morrow are great performers and wonderful songwriters. The songs on this album are classics and they're covered beautifully by two of Texas' best. It's a fantastic album especially for younger listeners who might not otherwise be introduced to such great music. I bought it and loved it. I think it's an album that everyone can enjoy. If you've never heard Texas country then this is a good album to cut your teeth on. You'll be left wanting more for sure. On a side note - I would like to see Pat and Cory release an album with original songs that they perform together. I'd buy that too.

The best album ever.......2002-11-08

This album is simply the best I own. This was the first Pat Green CD I ever bought and after hearing it once I went out and got every CD of his that I could find. Pat Green and Cory Morrow made every song better than the original.

Great in every way!.......2002-07-30

You have to admire Pat & Cory's ability to pick great songs. I can't get enough of Red Bandana, Live Forever, and Stuck in the Middle! You can tell that these guys are friends, they have great harmony. Pat got his big break not soon after and I doubt Cory has much longer to wait.
