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.
