It's impossible to know your limits without testing them. It's a truth that Pat Green has employed in his career, one that has propelled him to repeatedly refashion his sound, his approach and his own perception of who he is. He's simultaneously a Grammy-nominated hit maker with an outsider reputation, a Texas inspiration and a mainstream country artist who can rock arena and stadium stages with the likes of Keith Urban and Kenny Chesney.

After building a reputation as an ace songwriter of his own material, Green is fighting limitations with Songs We Wish We'd Written II, a sequel to a 2001 album he recorded with longtime friend—and fellow Texan—Cory Morrow. Stocked with music penned by the likes of Lyle Lovett, Tom Petty, Shelby Lynne and Jon Randall, the disc—Green's first for the acclaimed Sugar Hill label—mixes country, rock and blues in a manner that defies categorization. Petty's "Even The Losers" and Collective Soul's "The World I Know" will be familiar to just about anyone who gives the album a listen. Others, such as Aaron Lee Tasjan's quirky "Streets Of Galilee" and Todd Snider's burning "I Am Too," are introductions from the underground to a large majority of music fans.
