If some of the darker, more desperate characters from James McMurtry’s pantheon were to split in search of new hideouts, they’d find suitable sanctuary in the songs of Clark Paterson. And the East Nashvillian’s gritty pipes would provide them the ideal mouthpiece.  Urgency and attitude come standard in these tales, co-written by keyboardist Mark Cline Bates. “Moonlight In The Hills”, “This Dog’s Gonna Hunt” and “Hillbilly Sh*t” stand out in an all-around killer set.
