Patrick Sweany is part of the wider Dan Auerbach contingent. Before the Black Keys, Auerbach was a guitarist in Patrick's band back in Ohio. He has also produced two of Patrick's records. Over the past year, Sweany has picked up a Fender/Guild endorsement and toured the country several times. On a given night he'll swing through blues, folk, soul, bluegrass, maybe some classic 50s rock, or punk. Patrick Sweany recorded this Shiner Session in the Do512 Lounge during SXSW 2013.

As much as I can appreciate the Black Keys and their recent fame (aka Dan Auerbach). It is quite ridiculous that Mr. Sweany is not yet a household name. His talent as a musician and as a creator of magnificent songs.... is profuse.

[@amberturd6558]

8 years later I totally agree. These ate seriously great blues rock tunes. It misses the pop factor of black keys tho. But that's just ok. Hes still steady on the road. Has a weekly blue Monday spot in Nashville. Household name doesnt really mean much anymore. Cardi B is a household name. While I agree he deserves the world, hes doing very well for a modern blues rocker

[@caveygaming]

Its himself. He cant manage himself.

[@robkolakowski3692]

After 8 years this is still the best original pure blues rock out there. Patrick Sweany is the definition of underrated.

[@DerKooze]

💯 this song has rocked my world for years.

[@lancebuttercream9817]

God that guitar sounds good.

[@kreed1004]

this guy is a serial badass

[@ChapsShrugged]

That is probably the best title for him, full stop.

[@jaybiel1222]

this guy got me i love this jam

[@christianking376]

I didn't think anyone made music like this anymore! THANK YOU PANDORA!

[@wecbarnard]

The sound is close-ish to a band I heard a while ago in DC, Delta Highway Blues kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIS0maSvqbx-Zrs

[@mikelawrence5377]

I didn't think a dumbass wearing crocs with a stupid hair cut would be so stupid to comment

[@mikelawrence5377]

I hope it went to the idiot

[@ChapsShrugged]

That's how I found him! He and Gary Clark, Jr.. 🤯

[@kristinludlowUX]

Holy shite. It's Blues Joe Strummer. This is awesome. Very happy to attend the show tomorrow night in Charlotte.

[@jswen2477]

[@slippinjimmy6511]

[@IvanBulanov]

Топ! Одна из самых любимых песен)

[@ASL8306]

Same here!!

[@SRX04]

Simply incredible. What a talent. I agree with Puffle, People need to hear more of him. Maybe increased interest in Black Keys will help. In my case it led me here..

[@vicvicious13]

Such a great discovery on Pandora! What a performance! Bravo Patrick Sweeney.

[@islanddreams4805]

although this reminds me of the black keys....This guy....this song is the real deal. We cant get enough. already downloaded more of his stuff. Likey

[@Booshwhacker304]

+chris fearless Dan Auerbach was in Patricks band for awhile.

[@islanddreams4805]

Cool.

[@cmrobby]

Dan Auerbach produced this record

[@mikelawrence5377]

Early, early keys i might add

[@zeppelin424242]

the 1:17 part is what hooks me every time, with that sweet tremolo sound and the thumb picking the bass while the other fingers play a sick melody, not easy to do by any means! love this guy!

[@gareman9417]

No pandora for me, I was just clicking around on random artists on iTunes and came across Patrick Sweany, now I'm hooked!

[@Pamela_333]

Pandora & Gary Clark Jr. Introduced me to this song. 🎧😍🎶💖️🔥💯

[@ASL8306]

This is the first song I’ve ever heard from him and I fell in love with the song! I’m really enjoying his music; I love the lyrics and sound! 1:20 is one of my favorite parts.

[@wh877]

Same here. Herd him first on The Motor City Blues show 89.9FM

[@kiwismom11]

Man, I came cause I love the song, but the singer is hot, too!

[@conanguard342]

Aside from being a killer tune, the drummer has one of the sweetest beards I've seen in a long time.

[@colliemutt5]

Came here after hearing this song on Amazon Americana. What a great mix of blues and rock.

[@jackwillson8099]

Holt shit this man is baddest soul & grit love it

[@christianscazzieri]

Pat's a mean machine. So much soul.

[@05chopp32]

Just fucking Epic - Patrick Sweany ! layin it down!

[@mikelawrence5377]

The coolest riffs ever!!

[@bigdogslobber]

Found this guy on a Eddie 9v playlist and was hooked from the first minute. Can’t wait till he makes it to my area to see his band live.

[@815petey]

This should be winning Grammys!

[@leonidas9906]

Got the stereo version of this song in my Discover Weekly list a couple of weeks ago but I hadn't heard this version yet. Absolutely loving it!

[@stanleybeckerchicpix]

Great reminds me of Paul Kossoff of "Free" and even some "Spirit" thrown in there - great sound

[@CristianHernandez-ol9ol]

Jack white & pandora ,introduced me to this song.

[@frankenzion0001]

Pandora & The Black Keys introduced me to this song.

[@CristianHernandez-ol9ol]

Haha,wen something its real u can just feel it in ur soul haha.

[@JockoJonson17]

+frankenzion0001 Yeah, I found him on a Pandora channel seeded by Black Keys.

[@bradh6185]

Me too!

[@Productsthathateyou.]

Cristian Hernandez funny you mention that, and several others did as well. I saw an interview with him where he was talking about how he owes his acclaim to Pandora because he got tied to The Black Keys and White Stripes channels, and that’s exactly how I found him too

[@vassiliskaravassilis6221]

i love this song🎶

[@Productsthathateyou.]

Damn, he went hard on this performance

[@ianmcnulty4693]

@Jack O'Brien Dan Auerbach produced Patrick Sweany's second album entitled "Every Hour Is A Dollar Gone" (which this song is off of). Sweany has 3 albums out now, but this is the only album produced by Auerbach.

[@TheTyrial86]

I am so fucking glad I found this.

[@Raiderfn31]

Blues baby......try some R L Burnside

[@todhannigan8779]

Just amazing! Love it!

[@cogadhturtar8408]

My mind is filled with ghosts They're more than most of all my loves gone wrong My mind should be the way Most people say that I should just move on My mind is focused on Things past and gone when I have no control I can't forget there used to be I used to see but now no more Think I'm living in a past life... In a past life, too, it's a kind of thing that Catches up to you I guess I just believe that It's the thing to do So here's a little feedback You gotta wear those shoes No one said it would be easy Sometimes it is hard to do It isn't like the TV You see the cold hard truth And the things you see in movies Just don't come true So here's a little feedback You gotta wear your shoes I will live a half-life It'll have to do Now you can have a love life You have loved me, too You can see me in the evening When the weather's cool But here's a little feedback You gotta wear the shoes

[@tarekwaw]

I don’t know why i love this song!

[@lauriesuzanne8848]

[@Larsanator]

Fuck Ya!

[@ccSkydog]

heard this on Pandora. this tune rips... figures i always catch on late.. love the sound.. and energy.. the live version is kinda awesome soundwise.. ive seen plenty of vids of greater known musicians ..that disappointed me in live sound... who cant keep the seemily clear sound of a studio recorded piece.. i guess the key is dont record with a dumb audience present... lok

[@ellebhee5045]

Just found out about this dude! Awesome stuff. Poor guitar at the end though :/

[@peterc938]

Shred

[@kidynamite58]

Brilliant, imagine this guy at the Grammys, they would all shit their pants.

[@benzboy7660]

kidynamite58 they're not ready

[@cmrobby]

What equipment/setup is he using? Anyone know? I’m trying to emulate his sound. Got a tele, in the neck pickup position (stock pickups?) with a vox ac 15 (w/tremolo, gain, reverb). I think he rolls off some of the top end so its got that clean, soft, but raunchy sound. Does he use any pedals? I don’t know. I’m using an exciter of sorts to try and get some of that top end sparkle but i can never get the distortion on the amp quite right. Top boost channel i think. But mine always sounds either too muddy or too weak. His is just so satisfying when he hits that one chord at the end of the phrase EDIT: maybe he uses a fuzz pedal? Plz help

[@justink.a.g.1595]

👓🎞💪

[@spamsquirrel]

Pandora brought me here

[@reaver810]

Holllyy shittt.

[@chandlerbray1545]

[@buffalo-biff]

Man, this song kills, but I sure wish he would rip it on lead with some heavy distortion on the fast part of the song!

[@jamesotto5526]

Shiner Bock brought me here.

[@deanjohnson1243]

[@ru42112]

Come back to Blaine Brook bowl

[@smellyfeetmuffins]

I read somewhere Dan Auerbach is helping to produce his music, not sure if that's true or not

[@robertmurry1442]

[@RajHK8]

[@MudcookiesBE]

[@ronnie9471]

Love the song, but I didnt expect to see a used car salesman playing and singing it.. lol

[@buffalo-biff]

Man, take those finger picks off, and learn to rip! Cool riff, no cool rips!

[@QuotesDawson]
