She can croon, whisper, and kick the ship out from under the baddest pirate. Patty Griffin is astonishing. (Slob-disclaimer: IMO.) She plays the guitar very well, too... but this is just not my kind of tune, so I am leaving it unrated...we miss you so much, Cynaera... |

I am glad that Bill likes Patty as much as I do. I look forward to my daily dose of Patty Griffin on RP. And he mixes it up nicely.  |

One of my all time favorite songs. A desert Island song. I keep looking for her locally to see if I can attend one of her concerts, but have not been able to as of yet. One of these days I pray.

Journey with us to the gorgeous ports of San Juan, Tortola and St. Maarten during our 7-day cruise through the Eastern Caribbean on the fabulous Norwegian Pearl. We'll be sailing from Miami, Florida on February 13th - 20th, 2011. The line-up for Cayamo 2011 begins with a few familiar Cayamo friends. Alongside the Patty are Steve Earle, Indigo Girls and Buddy Miller. And joining for the first time is the legendary John Prine. More artists will be announced as they are confirmed in the coming months. In addition to all of the wonderful musical performances, you'll be treated to unique onboard activities and workshops in the spirit of the event. The Norwegian Pearl's sparkling pools, tasty dining and luxurious spas will be sure to keep you entertained, relaxed and having the time of your life. So, if you're ready to join us on this amazing adventure please visit www.cayamo.com/presale where you can sign up for an exclusive pre-sale token.

Come spend this one-of-a-kind experience with Patty and create memories that will last a lifetime! I would give a lung to be on that cruise. I don't make that much in a year, but oh, to think of it, oh, to dream of it... Cayamo 2012 did not include Patty Griffin, but was completely awesome nevertheless. I did not give a lung, but I did save up. I can only hope heaven is one-tenth of the fun that cruise was. :) |

Brilliant, I seem to have underestimated Patty.
You're not the first, probably not the last. Ms. Griffin is an incredible talent, and a force to be reckoned with. |

"...really no one can do better. a few of her songs people have improved, but not this one. sometimes wonderful songwriters just don't have the voice or the emotion to do their own song the justice it deserves. they may feel the emotion when writing but too shy to get it out. or they may not have a great voice, or it may sound better with a certain instrumentation or sound they didn't think of but somebody else does. but this...this is perfect. this is what heaven sounds like.

Interesting choice, had to rack my brain to recall it but it probably would work well. |

Look as some of the recent pics posted of her and she even looks like she is getting the shock of white hair Bonnie has. Both are similar in some ways different in others both at the top of my favorite singers list. |
