Patrick Sky (born Patrick Lynch: October 2, 1943 in Liveoak Gardens, Georgia) is an American musician, folk singer, and songwriter of Irish and Native American ancestry (Creek Indian). Sky was raised near the Lafourche Swamps of Louisiana. He is considered a vital contributor of the 60s Greenwich Village folk-revival movement. He was a contemporary and close friend to Dave Von Ronk and Buffy Sainte-Marie, and played with some of the great contemporaries of the folk scene including Eric Andersen and Mississippi John Hurt. Sky uses the medium to speak his mind about contentiously political issues of the day and his album Songs That Made America Famous, recorded in 1971 was rejected by several labels because of his outspoken views. It was finally released on his own label, Rainbow Collection in 1973.
A Harvest of Gentle Clang is the second album by Patrick Sky, released on the Vangaurd label in 1966 and dedicated to Buffy Sainte-Marie (who he was romantically involved with, and who he taught the fine art of finger-picking.) This album is a combination of traditional songs and originals from Sky, seasoned with snippets of his wry humour.
Here, he performs some tasty piedmont blues and gives a nod to the great Von Ronk in the song's intro, which he says he "learned from a walking piano roll with a beard."
