Description
Pilgrim is an album by the American singer and songwriter Pat Quinn, released on Airborn Records in 1980, a custom label co-founded by Ron Moore and Ed Kilbourne. The album was recorded at Airborn in Flint, Michigan.
Featuring Pat Quinn on lead vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica, drums and percussion, with Judie Quinn providing background vocals; backed by Denny Byrum on electric piano; Ron Moore on acoustic guitar and background vocals; Ted Boswell on banjo; Carmen Acciaioli on violin and pedal steel; Hap Harriman on acoustic and electric lead guitar, as well as bass; and Bill Allen on bass.
The Airborn label usually means a high quality endeavor and such is the case for Pat Quinn’s Pilgrim. He’s listed as a member of the Angel Band on Ron Moore’s Live Studio Concert. Ron can be found in here lending a hand to Pat’s blend of acoustic and country rock. Sparkling clean sound with layers of vibrant acoustic guitar and a natural approach that brings to mind Mark Heard’s Appalachian Melody. A few harder-edged rockers in the tradition of early Talbots. Lyrical violin brings a solemn beauty to «Calm Before The Storm». On a couple occasions there’s some nice electric piano and angelic harmonization from a female Quinn (wife?). Steel guitar, harmonica, and banjo provide the rural angle. File this with all the other acoustic rock greats. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
