Spellbinding

"Pat Alger co-writes with Garth Brooks and other country-pop stars, but he's a balladeer at heart. If you like singer-songwriters with melody, humor and heart, you'll LOVE this album. I have given it as a gift to family and friends and it ALWAYS gets outstanding reviews (even from my die-hard classic-loving family)!"

Melodic and Tasteful

"I stumbled upon Pat Alger while trying to find out who had recorded a song I heard on the radio - "Unanswered Prayers." Found out that not only had Garth Brooks had a hit with it, but the songwriter himself, Mr. Alger, had recorded it on this remarkably good CD, "Seeds". Then I realized that many of the songs on this album were later recorded by both Brooks and Kathy Mattea, and Lo and behold, Brooks, Mattea and Trisha Yearwood are on the album doing backup vocals. The collection is quite good. "Seeds," "A Few Good Things Remain," "Unanswered Prayers" and "The Thunder Rolls" are the highlights. The instrumentation is as tasteful as the vocals, and Alger's folk/country phrasings are a delight to listen to. I don't know why he stopped recording, but this is a "find" in a sea of country quicksand!Michael Butts"
