Texas superstar Pat Green signs with BNA

Tuesday, February 14, 2006 – Texas superstar Pat Green signed a deal with BNA, the label announced Tuesday.

Green had released three albums through Universal and had one hit, "Wave on Wave."

Green's debut, "Three Days," went gold. His most recent release was "Lucky Ones." He also released albums independently in Texas where he became a superstar.

Label Chairman Joe Galante said, "We have all been Pat Green fans since we first heard his music. Pat has put himself in a place that is not only distinctive but has appeal to a youthful audience, many of which are just being introduced to country music. Having the opportunity to work with him is very exciting and taking him to the next level is going to be a blast."

Green has sold out the Houston Astrodome (56,000 capacity) multiple times as well as the Smirnoff Center (20,000 capacity) in Dallas. This past summer, Green toured with superstar and now label mate Kenny Chesney on his "2005 Somewhere in the Sun Tour" and is currently on tour with Keith Urban on his "Still Alive In '06 Tour."

"I know I've found the right home to stand behind my music," said Green. "I am looking forward to working with Joe Galante and the team at RLG (the parent company of BNA). They're a great group of people with a passion for country music."

Green's first single from his forthcoming album is slated to hit country radio this summer.

As one of the first breakout successes, no doubt paving the way for others in the process, Green has nonetheless, come back to his roots with a CD that should lay these criticisms to rest. By the time of its release, "Home" had already spawned two number one hits on the Texas Music charts, "Girls From Texas," a duet with Lyle Lovett, an ode to Texas female "hottitude," and ...
CD review - Songs We Wish We'd Written II Pat Green was once the King of the Texas/Red Dirt music scene, and if "Songs We Wish We'd Written, Part II" is any indication, he's making a bid to re-claim his crown. The Waco native was maligned by the sub-genre's fans for the supposed sin of "selling out" to Nashville - something that actually paved the way for other Texas artists. Green followed up the 2001 "Songs We Wish We'd Written" - a collaboration with fellow Texas Tech alum Cory Morrow ...
CD review - What I'm For Despite his Texas roots and a career that started over a decade ago in the clubs and honky tonks across the Southwest, Pat Green still can't shake the comparisons to heartland songwriters like John Mellencamp and Tom Petty. Maybe Green is cool with that, because his latest album does little to establish an identifiable sound. And Dann Huff's production clutters several cuts with overblown rock guitar riffs. The song "Country Star" may be a wink-and-nod ode to being a ...
