Pat Travers's self-titled debut still stands up as an example of fine 1970s hard rock. It contains the tracks "Stop and Smile," "Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)," and "Feelin' Right," among others.
2004 remastered reissue of 1976 debut album features nine tracks & includes original artwork with updated sleeve notes. When Pat Travers exploded onto the scene in 1976, people sat up and took notice. This young Canadian played guitar with a passion and an intensity that took everybody by surprise. This, his debut album, is one of the great debut albums of the period. Tracks like 'Makes No Difference' and 'Medley Parts 1 & 2' are classic slices of 70's hard rock. There was, however, much more to Pat Travers than a Marshall stack and a Fender Telecaster screaming for mercy. Pat's roots lay in the blues, and it's that raw earthiness that runs through the music on this CD. As great as this undoubtedly was, though, better was to come. Majestic Rock. 2004.

Pat Travers album
 $10.65  
The third and final Gamma kicks off with "What's Gone Is Gone," a grand bit of science friction awash in keys and vocoder. When axe-god Ronnie Montrose's solo finally kicks in, the guitar serves as embellishment rather than a foundation. Such is the paradox of Gamma, a band with proven chops to spare, trying to be cutting edge without cutting loose. The end result is some kind of fluff-prog (sometimes akin to Grace Under Pressure). Of course the production and drums are totally '80s, while still avoiding the shrillness that taints so many pieces from this period. No traces of new romantic chilliness or bare-bones heaviness hide here, but the nebulous in-between yields some killer cuts, such as left-field single "Right the First Time" and the enjoyable wavy confection "Modern Girl." Cleverness like the Morse code spelling out of "Stranger" and the wild synths in "Mobile Devotion" (featuring some red-hot licks that prove Montrose still has the fire) also make Gamma 3 a good listen. This record doesn't meander as aimlessly as many art projects, but doesn't send the hooks as fast and furious as perfect pop either. Each song has classy elements, making up for when the overall alchemy doesn't quite work, and the aforementioned songs are worth the aural commitment anyway. ~ Whitney Z. Gomes
Gamma was the group that Ronnie Montrose started after his group Montrose broke up. They released three albums on Elektra Records between 1979 and 1982. Gamma 3 hit the Billboard charts in 1982 and rose to #72. Wounded Bird. 2002.
Originally released on Elektra Records.

For Gamma's debut on Elektra, the band picked Mickey Newbury's "Wish I Was" and Hollies/Linda Ronstadt songwriter Clint Ballard Jr.'s "I'm Alive," when maybe Newbury's "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" would have been more appropriate. As far as Ballard's contribution goes, the more familiar "You're No Good" might've worked better than "I'm Alive," creativity not being Gamma's strong suit. With such a cool name as Gamma, the rays that turned Bruce Banner into the Hulk, one might expect Ronnie Montrose to come up with a nice mutated blend of hard-edged Pink Floyd meets Hawkwind. No such luck. The opening track, "Thunder and Lightning," has all the pedestrian elements of a marriage between Foreigner and Bad Company, the mainstream meets the mundane. Ken Scott's production work leaves empty spaces in between the guitar crunch and the keyboard fills, with the work feeling unfinished or rushed. The Hollies' "I'm Alive" is better suited to that band; it drives at a good tempo here but the sound is thin and much too derivative, with backing vocal effects on the verses that simply annoy. The eight songs are mostly from the pen of Montrose, with singer Davey Pattison involved in three of the tunes. Things really get bad on Pattison's one solo composition, the five-minute "No Tears," as the band goes into the riff from Bad Company's second hit single, 1975's "Movin' On." With a frontman who sounds like Lou Gramm by way of Paul Rodgers, Gamma shamelessly uncovers why it would go nowhere. "Razor King" comes off like a lightweight rewrite of Bad Company's "Shooting Star" theme, a bit quicker but breaking no new ground. The best track on the disc is the instrumental "Solar Heat," written by Montrose. It has the spacy sounds the band's name implies, and no voices means identity. "Ready for Action" is another Montrose original, and it comes in a close second. Keyboard player Jim Alcivar teams up with the guitarist to create the final tune, "Fight to the

$13.09 
MAKIN' MAGIC is the second album from Canadian rock guitarist Pat Travers; the set includes guest appearances from drummer Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden) and bassist Peter "Mars" Cowling (Judas Priest).
This digitally remastered CD has eight songs, including "Statesboro Blues," the title track, and "Rock N Roll Susie."
Digitally remastered edition of the second Pat Travers album, which is regarded by many of his fans as the best of the man's early albums. It's a harder rocking release than his debut album, featuring the thunderous title track and the classic "Rock N Roll Susie" as well as the blistering "Statesboro Blues". The album is also memorable for the apperance of Nicko McBrain on drums alongside long time bassist 'Mars' Cowling. The album's highlight is perhaps Travers heartfelt message to his own brother "Stevie".

Pat Travers album
$14.79
Pat Travers' second album release by the man in the year 1977 - picks up perfectly from where Makin' Magic left off. Having found the hard rockin' formula that worked, Pat continued to gig hard with his trusty three piece, `Mars' Cowling and Nicko Mcbrain making up the numbers admirably. Guests on the album include Thin Lizzy's Scott Gorham on `Speakeasy' and Rainbow's Tony Carey on the instrumental `Off Beat Ride'. `Speakeasy' and `Life In London', affectionate odes to his new home, show an international side to Pat Travers and his work. Next came America. Re-mastered especially for this CD release and containing original art work and new sleeve notes

Guitar legend Pat Travers is known for holding court with numerous A-list players who have moved through the ranks of his band over the Toronto native's storied career. In 1981, RADIO ACTIVE found Travers on the cusp of a crossroads in developing a new sound. The result was this bluesy collection of hard rock in which Travis finally focused his considerable virtuosity for a set of concise tunes.
2008 release, the first time on CD for this album from the Canadian Rock/Blues guitarist, originally released in 1981. Moving to the UK in the early '70s, Travers made a name for himself as a top notch guitarist who blended Hard Rock and Blues into a musical stew.

Pat Travers album
$6.59 
This Sony budget release alternates songs by the Isley Brothers with songs by the O'Jays, and the result is an extremely short CD that seems largely arbitrary. Better to get single- disc overviews of each group separately, stick them both in your player, and hit random play. You'll dance a whole lot longer and farther. ~ Steve Leggett

Pat Travers music CDs
$9.69
Recorded live at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada on November 14, 1997.
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
This aural document of the 1998 concert that was broadcast exclusively on HBO serves double duty as a career resume for the Gibb brothers. The trio may be a little long in the tooth, and the top end of Barry's Aussie-soul-man falsetto may have lost a bit, but the group's trademark harmonies are still up to snuff. They wisely forgo any attempt at heady "artistic statements" in favor of that time-honored practice, playing the hits. By the '90s, the Bee Gees had attained "survivor" status, so just showing up was enough to endear them to the assembled faithful. Fortunately for listeners, the band's songs (the selection runs from the '60s through the '90s) stand the test of time quite well, and the Gibbs are still showmen enough to put their compositions across with a genuine sense of excitement. The concert being the media event it was, fans will likely forgive their heroes for the Celine Dion guest appearance.
Bee Gees: Maurice Gibb, Robin Gibb, Barry Gibb.
The Bee Gees: Maurice Gibb (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Barry Gibb (vocals, guitar); Robin Gibb (vocals).
Additional personnel: Andy Gibb.
Additional personnel: Andy Gibb, Celine Dion, Frankie Valli (vocals); Stephen Gibb, Alan Kendall (guitar); Ben Stivers (keyboards); Matt Bonelli (bass); Steve Rucker (drums, percussion).
