Free Music Review: Patty Griffin I love you!
Hit: 5 Stars
The idea of listening to entire albums is a lost art, more or less, these days. With the advent of the MP3 player, listeners now can invent their own playlists, and rarely will anyone load up a single set of songs from just one artist.
"A Kiss In Time" is a live album by Patty Griffin was recorded in 2003. It's a compilation of a dozen songs from various points in her career. Haunting, melodious, and simple, Griffin's voice isn't only overwhelming, it cuts right to the heart in way that only a woman with a guitar and something to sing about can.
NSFW is usually a designation reserved for some photo or video that might cause some sort of embarrassment or trouble if seen or heard by the wrong person, or people, but "A Kiss In Time" isn't safe to listen to anywhere that you cannot stop long enough to be amazed. It is one of the very few pieces of music that stops my heart, and brings back in my life lost loves, and loves yet to be lost.
"Long Ride Home" drives home the idea that in a lifetime, no matter how long we have with someone when they're gone we wish for more kindness, not more time.
"Goodbye" drops me. Always.
"Christina" is a song summoned to Griffin by a dream of Christina Onassis.
"Peter Pan" is, of course, about lost love.
"Rain" whips rain and heartbreak into the same song.
"Mad Mission" is a fun tune that melds old movies with new love.
"Be Careful" is a whimsical plea, for love and mercy.
"Tony" is a plaintive song against injustice.
"Mary" a spiritual view of motherhood.
"Fly" is a goodbye song, sung well.
"Nobody's Crying" isn't true at all. May the dream you are dreaming in a warm soft bed, may the voices inside that fill you with dread,make the sounds of a thousand angels instead, tonight where you might be laying your head, I wish you well...
"10 Million Miles" is sing about understanding life.
I do understand that Griffin may jangle a bit too much for some, and the Nashville roots of her music may twang some a little too much. I do understand that this sort of music won't move other as it does me.
But I love this woman's voice, and I love her vision, and her art.
Patty Griffin, ever you might be, I wish you well, and I love you.
Take Care,
Mike Firesmith
A Kiss in Time Poster
This live album documents a love affair, one between a singer-songwriter who attracted a whole new following with the release of 2002's 1000 Kisses and the devoted fans who flocked to her subsequent tour. The rapturous response at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, long the hallowed home of the Grand Ole Opry, makes it plain that Griffin is among friends for this concert recording, with kindred spirits Emmylou Harris and Julie and Buddy Miller joining her onstage to lend vocal support. Despite the setting, Griffin's music resists categorization as country (or folk or rock), with acoustic guitar, accordion, and piano providing exquisite settings for her expressively edgy vocals on a range of striking material--from the suicide of a tormented gay boy in "Tony" to the plight of an unhappy heiress in "Christina" (which Griffin explains to the crowd came to her in a dream about Christina Onassis) to the hint of ragtime in "Mad Mission." A bonus DVD of backstage scenes and videos completes the package, which lets fans feel they've gotten to know not only the music, but the artist. -- Don McLeeseFolk Music CDs
