Patrick Sky

discography

source: front cover of Shanachie 95003

This discography is a non-commercial labor-of-love and is in no way associated with any business firm.
All I know about the resp. artist's / label's musical output is shown on this page. To purchase out-of-print records I recommend an ebay, gemm or google search. And - sorry for that - I have not the time to answer any e-mails asking me about further information, let alone duplicating out-of-print recordings I happen to own.

"In twenty years or so I suppose they'll be separating the sheep from the goats in the current folk 'thing'. It's a safe bet that Patrick Sky will not be among the goats, despite his cloven hooves."

'famous sayn' of Dave van Ronk & Terri in their 1965 liner notes to 'Patrick Sky'
(Vanguard VSD-79179)
