Although he’s a talented guitarist, a charismatic person and a musician worth seeing on stage, Pat McManus was never extremely successful. His career has been punctuated by several strokes of bad luck that made him lose hope.
Walking Through Shadows is an album title that symbolizes the mountain of obstacles that life unfairly puts in the way of many an artist, despite a colossal investment. In terms of transparency, Pat goes even further, and the song “Walking In The Shadows Of Giants” is an admission of jealousy towards those who came before him and found success. We can only bow to such honesty.
But don’t be mistaken: Pat McManus is not one of those embittered musicians who spit on the big guns, hiding their jealousy behind dubious artistic opinions. The guitarist’s respect and admiration for Jimi Hendrix, for example, never faltered. Pat McManus is not blasé. His disappointment made way to a pragmatic acceptance of his situation, and his (typically Irish, or so he says) patience and composure allow him to smile whatever the circumstances. In the end, those qualities are the reason he never gave up.
