Living in a song.......2007-02-13

I love this CD sooo much - Patty's voice is amazing and raw and earthy. Patty sings from the heart. Sweet Loraine is my favorite.

Raw and Brilliant.......2007-01-20

If you think the Velvet Underground or MC5 are raw, you ain't heard nothing yet. Patty sings like an exposed raw nerve, when she wails and when her voice is a bare whisper. And unlike some affected Janis Joplin-caterwaul, her voice is a powerful instrument, at once immediate and refined. Let's put it this way: you never heard the beauty in screaming guitar licks before you heard Hendrix, and you have never heard the beauty in pain and pathos until you've heard Griffin. Buy this album and you will be in awe of her testimony. It's just her and her guitar, but the "her" part of the equation more than makes up for any potential augmentation. Just get this record, listen to Patty, and connect with some true humanity.

one of my favorite albums of all time.......2006-05-07

I first listened to Patty Griffin and this album in 1999, I think, and it immediately became one of my all time favorite albums. This one wasn't cranked off the assembly line -- it is nothing if not unique. If you are a poet, even just a poet at heart, you will appreciate the raw emotion in her lyrics, as well as her delivery of the lyrics. Her voice isn't perfect, and that is part of what makes the album perfect as far as I'm concerned. Hers are not cookie cutter songs. Instead, I like to think she writes her songs as a way of being true to herself rather than as a hopeful appeal to the masses. When listening to good music that is being sung by someone who did not write what they are singing, I always wonder about the motives of the person or people who wrote the song. What was their intent? Were they driven to espouse some intense internal anguish, desire, or joy? Or did they just look around at what was selling at the time and try to write a song that would fit the mold and be a hit? You'll never ask that when listening to Patti sing on this album. Listening to this album is like reading a riveting, complex book that stays with you long after you've closed the cover. You'll go back to it time and time again and each time you immerse yourself in it you'll come away with a little something different. I highly recommend this album.
