In the early Nineties, Sky did one last tour to earn extra income, but he largely built a life outside the commercial music business. In 1981, he married Larson, whom he’d met three years before in 1987, the couple relocated to North Carolina. During that era, he started the Celtic folk label Green Linnet and served as a Rhode Island state planner on Native American affairs. Visiting that country in the Seventies, he learned to play - and later build - Uilleann pipes (a sort of Celtic bagpipe).

Never a fan of the music business, Sky increasingly turned to traditional folk, especially of Ireland, in the years after the album’s release. … Such a record belongs in every American home enjoy it while you still can.” “Veteran folk minstrel Patrick Sky’s latest opus is just such a record.

“Sometimes a record comes along that so affronts common decency, so offends public morality, and so insults established canons of taste that its very appearance understandably prompts cries of outrage, shock and indignation,” Rolling Stone proclaimed in 1973. The album (which wasn’t released until three years later, on an indie label, after the majors passed) gained a reputation for being shocking and outrageous. Recorded in 1971, Sky’s fifth album, Songs That Made America Famous, took politically incorrect shots at blues singers, dead babies, the women’s rights movement, country music, the Catholic Church and his own genre (a parody of “Mr. Then Patrick turns to me and loudly says, ‘This sucks!‘ As it happened that was the highest compliment Patrick was capable of bestowing, but of course Joni had no way of knowing that.” Mitchell later recalled the moment as “all sorts of crude Patrick Sky things, that I now think are really dear, because I know him.” “She finished and there was just his silence, utter silence. “It was simply magical … you could hear a pin drop,” Van Ronk wrote in The Mayor of MacDougal Street, his memoir.

In 1965, he and Van Ronk visited Canada to tape an appearance on a folk TV series. Yet Sky had a bawdy and edgy sense of humor that could be in sharp contrast with his most tender songs. Honoring his heritage, Sky was one of the first to record Peter LaFarge’s “The Ballad of Ira Hayes,” about the Native American soldier who served in World War II (and helped plant the flag at Iwo Jima) but was disrespected upon returning to America, dying poor and alcoholic. Part Creek Indian and part Irish, the tall, boyishly handsome Sky was also one of the few indigenous members of the folk world of the time, along with his close friend, singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie. His songs are like he is - honest and sentimental, absurd and bawdy, indignant and simple to the point of complexity.” In the liner notes of his 1985 box set Biograph, Dylan mentioned Sky while talking about his early days in New York. “This is probably why he’s such a great singer.

“Pat is one of the best story-tellers I know,” his friend and neighbor Van Ronk wrote in the liner notes to Sky’s 1965 self-titled debut album. Sky had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2017, but according to his wife, folklorist and musician Cathy Larson Sky, Sky succumbed to prostate cancer and bone cancer.
