Free Music Notes for Impossible Dream
Free Music Review: Impossible to say enough!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been listening to Patty Griffin since her first album. To me, she is the finest female singer/songwriter on the planet today. She paints some of the most compelling lyrical images you have ever read, and then couples them with the most heart-rending voice I think I have ever heard. Quite simply, this album represents her at her apex. I basically have not stopped listening to it since I purchased it. If I could only take two albums with me to a desert island, I would take Impossible Dream and James McMurtry's "Where'd You Hide the Body." Then I could die there in peace. If you've never heard Patty Griffin, you can't go wrong buying this album. Every person I have exposed to her has become a fan -- without exception. She's simply that good.
Impossible Dream Poster
Patty Griffin's considerable promise is fully realized on Impossible Dream, her fourth studio album. Dixie Chicks fans who loved the trio's cover of Griffin's "Top of the World" will find the blueprint take here, but it's just one of several standouts. "Useless Desires" and "Don't Come Easy" show Griffin in her prime as a heartfelt folk-rock singer-songwriter, while "Love Throws a Line" and "Standing" offer intriguing bluesy/gospel counterpoints. "Kite" nearly floats away on a subtle piano breeze that personifies its mood of Sunday-afternoon solitude. The zenith is "Mother of God", an emotionally wrenching seven-minute masterpiece that begins as a heavy-hearted rumination before transforming midway into an abstract refraction of pure musical radiance and lyrical reassurance, like the cocoon setting loose its beautiful butterfly. --Peter BlackstockPop Music CDs
