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!

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.
