Free Music Notes for Living With GhostsFree Music Review: I am in awe of every little bit of Patty Griffin ... Hit: 5 Stars
and that's also my favorite of her songs. I bought the CD after hearing a track on headphones at a music store. It turns out this was not the CD I had heard, so I was shocked by the raw, edgy solo performance, wasn't sure I liked it. Now I LOVE this CD. The lyrics are intelligent, poignant, and insightful and the melodies, the voice intonation, and the guitar licks match them perfectly. She is masterful. Sometimes it seems she can take my deepest, most hidden emotion and then yank it out and place it in front of me.
Free Music Review: Gorgeous Hit: 5 Stars
This CD was given to me by my English teacher, who said I might like it. He described her as "a folk...country...blues..." kind of person. I listened that night, on the bus home from school.This is the one of the most fantastic CD I have. My favorite tracks are "Moses", "Poor Man's House" and "You Never Get What You Want." I love her voice, the simplicity of her music, and the complex sweetness of her lyrics. Never bitter, but always truthful and honest.
Free Music Review: Not well known, but a hidden gem...... Hit: 5 Stars
Not a clunker song in the bunch....I bought this CD completely on a whim knowing little about the arist or the music on it. I can only say this is a tremendous piece of art, and a songwriter/singer of great talent. Simple, but powerful. A lot of great music can come from nothing but the human voice and guitar. This CD proves it over and over again. For anyone who likes a CD which puts the music first over overproduced studio albums should give this a listen - - you won't be disappointed.
Free Music Review: Patty Griffin is just amazing... Hit: 5 Stars
I first heard of her through the Lilith Fair cd they gave out. By listening to "Blue Sky" something clicked and i when out to buy her cd. i picked out "Flamng Red" first, i liked it so much i looked into geting "Living W/Ghosts". I got it for X-Mas, put it into my cd player and i haven't stopped listening to it since. Every chord, lyric, note just takes you in. I don't think i have ever liked a cd so much. I hope it will captivate you like it did me.
Free Music Review: Best new artist I've heard this year Hit: 5 Stars
Patty's lyrics on this album are ageless, speaking both to me and to my college-age daughter, with remarkable insight and maturity. And she sings each song from the heart, making the listener feel with her. It's been a long time since a new artist has had such an effect on me. I can't recommend this CD highly enough. I also own her follow-up release, which I don't find to be as strong lyrically. I hope that we will hear more from her in the near future.
