I plan to get Flaming Red but first want to listen to LWG a few more hundred
times! I love the sparseness of it & that you don't even realize its a voice
& guitar because of her incredible voice. I have heard she is amazing live.
I can't think of anyone who has inspired me so much other than Shawn Colvin
& Joni. Up there in the stratosphere of all around talent, she has really
raised the bar!
>>>Just had to chime in here. I've heard a lot of great music from female
artists in the last 10 years, but Patty Griffin is SO amazing. "Living
With Ghosts" is apparently some slightly glossed up demos, which turned
out beautifully ("Let Him Fly"...ummm ummm!), but since you've only heard
snippets, "Flaming Red" is an unbelievably dynamic recording, full of
musical twists and turns, poignant songwriting and some pretty remarkable
singing. I highly recommend picking it up. Furthermore, the good news is
that Patty's new CD will be out early next year. Do go see her live; I've
been 3 times, and it's been a treat (with a completely rearranged set)
each time. Raves, Raves, and more raves! -Chris<<<
