Patty Griffin
 

As most of you know, her new CD was released today. :blob1: The Barnes & Noble edition has 2 bonus tracks, so I plan to get mine there this week. Just wanted to give a heads up that Patty's supposed to be performing on Letterman this Thursday 2/8 (reshced. from tonight.) Tour dates are slowly trickling in too.

^^^ Look at you, the Patty fan! :xoxo: Thanks for the heads-up on Letterman.

Albatross just came on the radio, what is it, FM day? I heard NGBA earlier....

Thanks Paula. I was excited to see she is actually playing in San Diego. I've never seen her but I will in March. I hate the venue (believe it or not it's an old bank converted to a concert venue) but it should be a good show!

Terry

thanks for the letterman heads up! i'm going to go see if it's on itunes yet.

it is. I've been sampling it all day.

i'm so pissed i couldn't get to b&n today to pick this up. :mad:

definitely getting it tomorrow.

^ me too. They'd better have it in stock.

New tour dates are being added to her site almost daily. Looks like she'll be swinging back east in April, so I'm crossing my fingers. :angel:

finally got my hot little hands on it today. wtf is up with borders not having albums i want, ever? they didn't have lindsey's, they didn't have patty's ... i had to go to best buy. which was fine, since it was cheaper there.

i listened to it all the way through on the way home and it is fanfriggingtastic. i mean, seriously. seriously. fan. frigging. tastic.

^ B&N had it - on sale too! My best Buy never has Patty. Bastards.

Anyway - I only got a few songs into it on the way back to work, but ITA. Trapeze? I could cry. I may cry. Emmylou on harmony. Jesus.

trapeze did make me cry. i hardly ever cry at music. but i did ... the ending, with the cymbals, and those harmonies, my god. my god. so beautiful.

The sample of that song on ITunes gave me instant chills.
I think I might have to buy the tickets to see her at the Catalyst.

it's amazing. you'll love it. in fact, i am going to send it to you.

Picked the cd up today. Wow! Trapeze is great but there is something about Heavenly Day that keeps me hitting the repeat button. Is there a single released? and wonder what she'll sing on Letterman?

^ Heavenly Day was the song they leaked out first, I believe. I like that one too. Shoot, I like 'em all. :nod: Some standout tracks for me, right now:

Trapeze - I can't talk anough about the harmonies. God. Incredible. And like Carrie said, the ending. "Hallelujah...hallelujah...hallelujah!" Chills. Bonus points for joining Stevie in the "I can put the word 'trapeze' in a song" club. It's a very elusive club, she should be proud. ;) Since Patty's actually titled the song "trapeze" she's obviously now the club president.

Stay on the Ride: I dare you not to dance to this tune. It amazes me that this little redheaded white lady can be so damn bluesy and do it so well. I don't know if "bluesy" is the right word, though. Reminds me of an old Jame Brown song or something. Her vocal just soars. "You need a name, I'm gonna give you a name, and I said no you won't, I said no you won't OOOOOAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

No Bad News: Classic Patty Griffin. Mainly just her & an acoustic guitar. Reminds me a lot of Truth No. 2.

Someone Else's Tomorrow: Haunting. That is all.

dude! i was just raving about this song in my head, because i was just listening to it. she sounds like bonnie mother****ing raitt on this song. and bonnie mother****ing raitt mother****ing rocks. mmmkay? she totally gets it.

Only thing I own by Patty Griffin is a record label CDR of an album entitled "Silver Bell", which I believe Haley stated here in the past that was not released.

It wasn't. It's quite the coveted item for fans. I don't have it. hinthinthint

^^ yeah, it got lost in a record company merger or something. good album, though.

worry not, canadian lover. it shall be yours soon. :D

here's patty griffin's unreleased silver bell:

:woohoo:

Hope you don't mind I snuck in and grabbed it as well. Two new Patty cd's in two days. I may have to take the dog on an extra long walk tonight to listen to them both. Thanks!

Terry

yes i mind, please give it back. :mad: :mad: :mad:

no, of course it's fine - 'swhy i posted it! enjoy!

I love you. Well, not like that. Not that there's anything wrong with that....

:xoxo:

And according to her official site, she'll be doing "heavenly Day" on Letterman tonight, Terry!

*SPOILERS AHEAD*



Oh, man I really want to see her now. I'd be thrilled to hear any of the new songs, but You Never Get What You Want, Lorraine and Top of the World are big, big favorites of mine.

eeeeeexcellent. thanks for the info.

hopefully there are tapers at these shows! :angel:

Sweeeeet! :D :xoxo:

This should get her some new fans! Thanks, Paula!


For whatever reason my main source for non FM/Stevie boots (dimeadozen) has Patty on their banned list. I'm not sure but I think it has to do with a specific request from the artist not to have bootlegs posted. Hopefully some will show up somewhere. I don't have the resources (unless you want me to dig out my old high school cassette recorder with microphone) or I'd try when I see her on March 11th.

ohhh. i just did a search on dime for her and came up with only one lucinda show that she sang at. i didn't even think to check their banned list. that makes sense. and is a bummer.

That will probably change. From what I understand, Patty had asked that fans not record over the past year because she was trying out new material for the CD. Now that the CD's out, I can't see what the problem would be since she never minded before. :shrug:

did you catch her on letterman? i didn't love the song. but her voice was gorgeous, as ever.

i saw it! i really like that song, actually. i kind of went into a trance ... i was so shocked when it was over. so good.

I saw it, I thought she was amazing. Loved the strings too. I like Heavenly Day, but I would have preferred I Don't Give Up, or No Bad News for Letterman.

Oh, and I can't get "One of these nights, the old girl's, coming down" out of my head.

"...Maybe one day.."
 

Another stellar album by Patty Griffin. I woke up Tuesday morning and immediately downloaded her "Children Running Through" record and fell instantly in love. I have to be honest and say that I think each time Patty releases a new record that I'm going to be a bit disappointed. I can't imagine her topping her last album, but she continues to amaze me. A bit of blues, a bit of jazz, a bit of gospel..and lots of sad words.. My favorite tracks are "You'll Remember" "Trapeze" "Burgundy Shoes" "Heavenly Day" "Someone Else's Tomorrow" and "Crying Over." Man, I was aching for some new music, and Patty's album arrived just in time.

^ I really is fantastic. :nod: I've been listening to it pretty much non-stop since I got it.

grammatically incorrect, self-absorbed bitch. :mad:

:rolleyes: :laugh:

i have been too. i'm listening to it right now. i love it.

downloading as we speak...

Trapeze sealed the deal.

I've finally been able to listen to the album all the way through...I effin love it too...and...

Dear Stevie, please get in touch with Ms. Griffin asap. :wavey:

Here are a few new live tracks from a SoCal radio broadcast on February 12, 2007 for Paula, Carrie, Jazzy and the other gaggle of Griffin fans. There are more if you are interested.
