Album Review: Matt Patershuk – ‘If Wishes Were Horses’

Matt Patershuk,”If Wishes Were Horses” (Black Hen Music)- Canadian tunesmith’s  Matt Patershuk’s previous exploits in the singer-songwriter field have prompted favourable comparisons with the likes of Waylon Jennings, John Prine and Kris Kristofferson and the Alberta native certainly has a winning way with an affecting melody and a deceptively uncomplicated  approach to the art of lyric writing. Harmonica legend Charlie McCoy lends his invaluable support as Matt delivers timeless ditties such as “Ernest Tubb Had Fuzzy Slippers” and “Let’s Give This Bottle A Black Eye” alongside a bluesy revamp of the Grateful Dead’s “Sugaree.”
