I disagree with this, I'm afraid. What I like about the album is the sheer power, vibrancy and range of Patty's voice - for a small woman she has one hell of a big voice.

For me this song could have been titled "Michael"  Just this day before, he chose the wrong path to go down. R.I.P. Michael, you were good people.

I like a lot of Patty's stuff. But not this.

If Patty ever felt moved to have it remixed/remastered, I would buy it in a second!  Please?

I really like this song a lot. I'd rate the album at least an 8 but for me the weakest song is the title track, "Flaming Red." I always skip right over it. I didn't even put that song on my iPod.

A solid 7. 
 
Interesting!  I've always loved Bonnie, but Patty has taken her spot at the top of my GODDESS OF SONG list.

I bought this CD over a year ago when I first heard it on here and it is one of my favorites of all time. She is definitely one of the greatest song writers ever. I love her very much.

This is indeed a great song off of what I consider to be her best album.

I don't really hear that, but ok.

I don't really like Sheryl Crow, and I think Patty is amazing. This song (and the whole CD, for that matter) is more rocking than her other ones, so it does sound more like all of the other "chicks with guitars" on the radio.

Hello,

I love the music on this disk, but the mix is so shrill sounding -- the highs are too piercing to make it easy to listen too. Easily the most shrill (all digital?) CD that I have heard since the mid 80's...too bad.

Best is the operative word. I saw her in concert with John Prine this summer. He was the headliner - go figure??

Best songs: "I don't ever give up", "Useless desires", "Sooner or Later", "When it don't come easy", "Christina",.....

Fantastic song, one of PG's best. The whole album is quite unlike everything he did before or has done since, but it's excellent, and this is one of the highlights.

Yes, thank you! When I wrote down my very favorite songs heard on RP, I saw that a few were by "Patty Griffin". Who's that? I checked her out and was floored. Now one of my favorite artists. Thanks RP!
