Solid song, but more Cheryl Crowesque than Patty Griffin, lyrics, tune, singing style.

I like Patty Griffin but this album and song are not her best IMHO.

Wish she would do more stuff like her Flaming Red album. I think it's her best!

If this is phoning it in, then I sure wish Patty had my number.

Well I am ashamed to say I was not too familiar with her before RP.   I love this and Changes, both off this album.   Hard to believe she has "better" stuff than this.   What do you all recommend??
 
Ditto re discovering her here. As for recommendations: just click on "Patty Griffin" in the now-viewing bar to get a list of most of her better output. Personally, my favorites are Change and Mad Mission.

Super tune. I love hearing her with all plugged in and playing loud. Wish she'd do it more.

For Patty Griffin, it's merely okay. Which means it towers over 99% of what passes for popular music these days. We say this is ho-hum because, compared with her other work, it is. But her other work is so incredible, so 'stop what you're doing and just listen' amazing, this suffers by comparison.

Can you tell I'm a fan of Ms. Griffin?

150,000% agree. 

I *love* "Little God". This is the first concert I went to by myself after my divorce. It was a "I can do this by myself" moment. Very necessary and empowering.

One of my absolute favorites. When I heard this song, I had never heard any other Patti Griffin. Now that I have, I'm even more impressed with her - it shows her range that she can sing a more pop-like song like this and then bust loose on a raw in-your-face song like "Change" or "Little God".

Patty sings beside Robert Plant on his Band of Joy tour and he introduced her as "the best singer in America."   The two of them together were truly amazing.  Listen to this lady.  Robert says so, and I believe.

Wow, I completely agree. When this first came out, I didn't know her music. I thought the song was OK, but nothing great. Then I heard the rest of the album and I'm now in awe of her.

A fine song, with bang-on lyrics: make love, not aggro. The album's pretty damn good too, the rocky bits at least - I'm not so keen on the country stuff, but I guess she needs to keep her feet in both camps. 7 from the Nottingham jury doing like the monkey. Ook ook!

Neophites might also enjoy the album "Silver Bell" for more of this genre from Ms. Griffin.
Unfortunately, it's a little tricky to get a copy - try the web.
The opening track is "Little God" which plays frequently on RP.
 
Oh, yes, also contains "Boston" which proves that Patty can rock.

 "Mary" off "Flaming Red" is poignant to the point of hearthbreak.

Yep - me too!  I really love "Flaming Red" because it's so balls-to-the-wall. Doesn't give you room to analyze or back out - it's just all right there, in your face.  Patty Griffin is rather amazing.

Yes... it's her sort of rock album.  There are some really nice cuts on it too... but some songs are really depressing too.
But hey, it's Patty...
