Patty Griffin

Posted on | January 30, 2007 | 2 Comments

Patty Griffin is a respected folk / country singer songwriter perhaps best known for being the writer behind several hits for the Dixie Chicks, Martina McBride and others. While I’m not a fan of those other music acts, Patty is one of my favorite singers because she has the most expressive voice of any singer that I have ever heard in my life and her voice isn’t produced. It’s real singing from soul. Needless to say, I think I have a fetish for female singers that play guitar haha. I discovered her music a few years ago and can’t stop listening to it.

I was browsing YouTube today for Patty Griffin videos and came across:

Rain

Racing in the Street

BTW, Patty Griffin’s newest CD, Children Running Through, is coming out next Tuesday, February 6th. I know a lot of kids out there have never bought a CD before so this would be a great time to buy their first! And for you photographers who read my blog, this would be a great companion for your next road trip.

    Richard, I fully agree with your love of Patty Griffin as well as the fetish of female singers that play guitar. I “discovered” Patty Griffin a few years back when I went to see Nanci Griffith at Stanford. Her rendition of “Mary” live was about the most moving thing I felt.

    I’m off to buy Patty’s new CD!

    R. Crain: Mary is a great song. I got the cd on Tuesday and think it’s awesome. Very bluesy feel to it. I saw on the Barnes and Noble site that there are two B&N; exclusive tracks added on the cd through their site so I may have to order one…
