Patty Griffin

Yet as always, griffin's power lies in how, as Holly Gleason in the Martha's Vineyard Gazette observed, like very few others, ''her songs seem to freeze life and truth in amber. It's in how griffin can express the strikingly intimate while never making it about herself, all wrapped in sparse arrangements that breathe an incomparable force and import into her songcraft.

Patty griffin represents an extraordinary new chapter for this incomparable singer-songwriter and immediately stands among the most deeply personal recordings of her remarkable two-decade career. Patty griffin- Patty Griffin. The album -- which follows 2015's grammy award-nominated servant of love -- collects songs written during and in the aftermath of a profound personal crisis, several years in which she battled -- and ultimately defeated -- cancer just as a similar and equally insidious disease metastasized into the American body politic.

GUY

We are lucky that earle remembers and honors these things, because like old friends, Guy is a diamond. But in the end guy leads the listener back to its beginning, namely Guy Clark, which is what any good 'tribute' should do. I wanted it to sound live. When you've got a catalog like Guy's and you're only doing sixteen tracks, you know each one is going to be strong.

Earle and his current, perhaps best-ever Dukes lineup, take on these songs with a spirit of reverent glee and invention. Back then if you wanted to be where the best songwriters were you had to be in there. Steve earle was nineteen and had just hitchhiked from San Antonio to Nashville in 1974. In the fall of 2018, steve and the dukes went into House Of Blues studio in Nashville and recorded GUY in six days.

. Guy is a saga of friendship, its ups and downs, what endures. Flash forward more than forty years. Guy clark had moved to Nashville and if you were from Texas, Guy Clark was king. Steve earle- GUY.

Johnny black Steve earle- GUY. After all, a bunch of demos is exactly what it is. It's not surprising that living with ghosts, has all the immediacy and intimacy of a bunch of demos knocked up by a songwriter during those brief early moments when the songs are still vibrantly new and exciting, the first Patty Griffin album, zipping around in her brain like atoms in a molecule that's about to tear itself apart.

Recorded back in 1996, the rootsy young bangor, maine singer-songwriter used these minimal acoustic guitar and voice recordings to score a publishing contract but, fortunately for anybody who loves nothing better than a good song well sung, they were considered good enough to release in their raw state.
