Live at The City Lights Saloon is one of the finest live recordings released in this or any other year. From first song to last this recording is chockfull of musical gems by what I consider to be this area’s finest interpreter of songs. And while each and every song is a must listen, some of my favs include Pat’s take on “I Take My Chances”, “Bus Stop” “Six Words”, “When Rita Leaves”, “Political Science” “Because” “Chase the Buffalo” “All Along the Watchtower” and “Don’t Let US Get Sick”.
Recorded Live at City Lights Studios in the wilds of Farmingdale NJ, before an intimate gathering of friends and fans , Live at the City Lights Saloon is pure magic and the exact representation of what it is like to be at a live performance by Pat Guadagno. And it just doesn’t get any better than that
Look, what you will find on this recording are superlative efforts by one of our very best local artists. Pat Guadagno has gifted us with heartfelt songs of love, faith, hope, and devotion. And while I cannot twist your arm and make you buy them; I hope that after reading this column you will give this a good hard listen – Uncle Mike
This was the first review of my first album from the ‘poison pen’ of a truly wonderful, kind gentle soul. RIP Friend
