Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars It's heavy and right in your face.......2003-12-19

I see that the everyone so far is rating this album with 5 stars. Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I can't see how "Blues Magnet" can be regarded as a masterpiece. Don't get me wrong, some of the songs are very good but it sure doesn't work all the way.

This album is filled with heavy power blues with fat and distorted guitars. Pat Travers might not be the world's greatest singer but his voice works just fine with this kind of approach. Among the better tracks are "Rock yer blues away", "She gets the loving", "Fall to pieces", and "Travelin' blues", but in the long run it all gets kind of boring and it feels like Pat Travers goes on and on and on and on. If you like your blues served in a hard and heavy way I guess this album is perfect for you.

5 out of 5 stars Smokin' Blues Delux.......2002-01-25

PT is at his intense guitar playin'best on this recording. Crushing chords and clean leads makes all the songs on this CD a pleasure for any fan of blues influenced hard rock. His song writing is superb through out and the vocals fit the rough and tumble feel of these cuts.
Listen to "This world we live in" and try to tell me this guy isn't coming from the right place.

If you love blues with a pumped up metal edge, it doesn't get any better...buy this CD now!!!

5 out of 5 stars Can't Get Enough.......2001-08-08

Ditto the comments about appealing to hard rock and hard blues fans. I was lucky enough to see Pat a couple times. Up until the last couple CDs before this one (a couple recordings way under Pat's usual high energy, original stuff), his recordings were so fine. This IS a return of sorts to the Black Pearl days. Gut-wrenching electric blues fans -- this one's for you.
