From The 06/21/06 issue of the Chicago Free Press!

“Finally The View Has Changed” (Abusing Music), the second album by Texan Patrick Boothe, is a blast of fresh air in the gay male music scene. Boothe’s experimental electronic recordings are as aggressive as they are accessible, beginning with the mind-blowing opening track “Be That Man” and continuing on “Ugly,” “The Upfall,” “Burden” and “Boys Like Me.” Boothe also exhibits a knack for crafting pleasing but unpredictable pop numbers such as “Too Far” and “What I Didn’t Know,” as well as for making chilling political statements, as in “Kill Him and Tell God He Died.”

KEY-MAN

Bridging the gap between piano-driven songwriters like Rufus Wainwright and the darker music of Trent Reznor, queer Dallas singer and pianist Patrick Boothe finds a niche in the valley of passion and intellect.

A songwriter focused on the big picture, Boothe writes politically charged lyrics from a personal perspective. From touching love songs to anger-fueled screeds, Boothe’s songs burn from within, revealing the sometimes troubled and engaging person behind them.

Currently promoting his second self-produced album, “Finally the View Has Changed,” Boothe continues to expand as an artist. His Saturday gig should prove the perfect opportunity to catch this up-and-coming local.
