She's so good I don't even know what to say. makes me want to get up, scream, and throw my f-ing computer against the wall.

No you don't - get * what * you * want...

But shit. Fight it out and make the best of it that you can and look for the beauty that's always there - like Patty Griffin's voice and songs.

Rock it.

Just heard this again after a long while...gave it a 7 the first time...back for an upgrade = 9.

I'm a huge PG fan...and this one took a bit of a while to grow on me...

I'm there now.

Patty Griffin rules. I saw her open for Lucinda Williams a few years ago and immediately went out and bought Flaming Red. I think that's the only time I bought music based on a live performance. I think she's got one of the best voices around and she's an awesome songwriter.

Her best songs are: Change, Rain, and Let him fly. Rain sounds a wee bit tinny, but all in all its language moves me. Change is by far her best song. I just wish she would tour out here in So Cal...I would go to hear her.

Excellent to hear a track from Living with Ghosts! Not my favorite, but it really captures the rawness of that album.

I'm real bimodal with Patty Griffin. Some of her stuff is just great, but some is ... Well, I really dislike this one.

When it starts, I always think it's goig to be an acoustic version of Leyla. What a let-down.

I don't usually like this genre, but wow, this is a really great song! I found myself singing along, even though it was the first time I'd heard it.

This is my favorite album of hers. I'd love to hear you play "Sweet Loraine" or "Every Little Bit."

Who am I kidding? I'd love to hear you play the whole album in one killer block.

One person's whining is another person's evocative plea. I feel the urgency here. Good art is meant to convey emotion. This does that.

"You first found me in my holding pen.
Stopped to take a look and stuck your finger in.
I bit one off and you came back again, and again."

Some of the best opening lines I've ever heard.

I would say she sampled the riff...

I should expect that from someone who gives Dr. Demento's "Fish Heads" a 10.

I am looking forward to hearing some Uriah Heap. Well just their one song, which sounds like every other song they recorded.

It makes me crazy in the craziest way! Love Patty ---- actually missed this song because I'm working to the copy of Silver Bell that Rylie burnt for me ----> PM me if you want this --- it's an outrageously good album, and Ryan put a ton of live stage/radio tracks on it too. Amazing stuff.

Among my favorite cuts from my favorite of Patty's albums.



Thanks to the RPeeps for adding some of her earlier work.
