If singer/songwriters were vehicles, Pat Haney would be a slightly rusty 4-wheel drive, stump-jumping, workingman's pickup. The kind that starts (crankily) every morning, always gets you to work, can go anywhere, and bring back whatever's worth bringin'. A been-there, done-that truck with just enough holes in the floorboards to keep you in close touch with the elements.
