AUSTIN---Tough times call for soulful songs. Guitarist PAT BOYACK had the songs; a brilliant assortment of soul-saturated topical tunes, from the past and the present, speaking of and to the trials and tribulations of daily life in a time of disparity and divisiveness. All he needed was the singers.

When a star-studded quartet of virtuoso vocalists: swamp queen Marcia Ball, soulman W.C. Clark, sweet-singing Ruthie Foster and funk favorite Sweetpea Atkinson, of Bonnie Raitt renown, stepped forth to be involved in the project "VOICES FROM THE STREET" became a musical reality.

Boyack, despite having three previous CDs to his credit, is best known, until now, for his role as guitarist in the Marcia Ball Band, one of the hardest-working units on the blues scene. On his current CD saxist and producer Mark "Kaz" Kazanoff leads a group of Austin all-stars anchored by the rhythm section of bassist Larry Fulcher, who also takes a lead vocal turn, and drummer Tony Braunagel, the widely-accomplished duo at the core of Taj Mahal's Phantom Blues Band.

"VOICES FROM THE STREET" showcases well-known singers stretching above and beyond their regular roles in the service of socially-conscious soul, creating some of their strongest recorded work yet. With Boyack and the band pushing them onward and upward the result is a soaring, soul-drenched statement of pride, principle and passion just when we need it the most.
