El Toro Grande Records announces the release date of Patrick Glenn’s “Everything but the Words” as May 10, 2003.

San Antonio, TX – El Toro Grande Records is proud to announce the release of “Everything but the Words”, the debut effort of Patrick Glenn. Produced by Benny McArthur and Patrick Glenn the album features the talents of members from the two most well known bands in country music, the “Ace in the Hole” band and “Asleep at the Wheel” as well as a few other top “Texas Music” bands.
While the project was entirely produced and recorded in San Marcos, Texas, and mastered in nearby Wimberly, Texas, Patrick does not classify it as today’s “Texas Music”. Patrick Glenn is quick to clarify his style as he stated ‘it’s Texas country’, you know the type Texas has been producing for the last 50 years, and the same kind of styles you might find on the entire second floor of the new Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee.” “Most people here in Texas don’t know that we have a whole floor out of three dedicated to Texas in the Hall of Fame, and that to me is very important. There’s a lot of different styles that earned Texas that second floor of memorabilia, and I really want to help reinforce the belief that if you want to know where country music’s history comes from you have to look at Texas.” While Patrick admits that he’s a fan of all classifications of “Texas Music”, he adamantly describes his style as ‘a more traditional style of Texas country music’.
Patrick was quick to add that “Every song on the project was chosen specifically for its ability to stand alone, but with a quality that all of the songs together are definitively a collection of my chosen style. It’s the style of music that Texans still pack the old dancehall floors with. If you can’t dance to it, you won’t hear it on this CD.”
Patrick Glenn is currently scheduled for about 15 dates each month through June in the south west region of Texas with plans to include all of Texas and southern parts of Oklahoma by the end of 2003. “Everything but the Words” will be available online at www.patrickglenn.net as of the scheduled release date, via secure online credit card purchase. The premiere radio single for immediate release is track four, “I Think Somebody’s Trying to Tell Me Something”, written by Jim Lauderdale and Dean Dillon.

Introducing:
Patrick Glenn
Patrick Glenn, the brand new upstart from San Antonio, Texas has his act down. Growing up in San Antonio and Nashville, Tennessee briefly, he sang to everything on the country radio and was known for sometimes singing the commercials too. So it’s no surprise that he’s still at it today. Though he admits to having taken a few detours along the way, his goals and dreams never changed, and as steady goes the course, this young man creates quite a stir everywhere he goes.

Now, 29, he’s matured a little through his life experiences, he could very well be the next Texas singing sensation. No matter if it’s Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson, or any number of the country singers and traditionalist that you choose, this guys got a bit of all of them in his style. He understands you’ve got to pay your dues, and he’s done quite a bit of it, from singing in a military bar at the age of 20, to touring all over south Texas to perform at the dancehalls, he now maintains a busy schedule of 150 plus shows a year combined with his role as a full-time single father of his 5 year old son and 7 year old daughter.

His debut CD entitled “Everything but the Words” exemplifies his style of expression. You never know what’s going to come next on this CD. From “All Roads” to “I’ll Be Waiting” you’ll get a variety of styles of country music, and scenarios for love lost and gained, or in some cases utter confusion. There’s even a new perspective and angle from the supercharged true commitment song “I Ain’t Leaving”. You surely won’t be disappointed with the musicianship on the CD. Patrick gathered a “south Texas all star session” on his first time out. It’s literally what you get if you crossed “The Ace in the Hole Band” and “Asleep At The Wheel”, and then if that wasn’t enough he threw in a few wild cats like John Carrol and Kenny Grohman to intensify the mix a bit.

Patrick also managed to garner some pretty heavy hitters in the songwriting field too. He proudly stated, “I can’t believe I got a songwriter on my CD who has lyrics hanging in the Country Music Hall of Fame!” He’s referring to John Ims and his big hit “She’s In Love With The Boy” for Trisha Yearwood, but the hit makers don’t end with Mr. Ims, also on board this debut CD are Jim Lauderdale and the eccentric Rich Fagan, author of “Sold”, “Be My Baby Tonight”, and “Overnight Male”. Among these current powerhouse songwriters you’ll find cuts penned or co-penned by the late Harlan Howard, Dean Dillon, Jim McBride, Keith Gattis, Curtis Wright, Benny McArthur, Rick McRae, David Anthony, Jeff Carson, Melba Montgomery, and Leslie Satcher.

The talent in this package is absolutely nothing short of exciting, so sit back, put “Everything but the Words” in your CD player, and there’s no doubt by the end you’ll be wanting to hear more of Patrick Glenn.
