Music Reviews of 1000 Kisses
Music Review: If my heart weren't broken, I'd be in love...
Rating: 5 Stars
It is so hard to describe an album that is so perfect. Griffin creates characters with heart, with history, with so much solemnity and grace you can't help but believe they are living people. At times she sounds like a young Bruce Springsteen (think Nebraska), stark and captivating. At other times, she fits right in with her contemporaries Gillian Welch and Lucinda Williams, writing beautiful vignettes of Americana that break your heart. Her songs have a familiarity to them, as if they were the children of other great songs, but they turn unexpectedly, going to places their predecessors have not gone, revealing an emotional depth so many songwriters cannot capture. Simply beautiful.Music Review: Very nice...

I've been looking forward to this new collectionfor quite awhile now, I've listened to her 2 previous
releases and liked them both, different styles but
a beautiful voice and she always surrounds herself with great
arrangements and musicians. On this one, stark, almost nostalgic
and at times melancholy tunes but always very
listenable. In time I'll have my favorites but for now "Rain"
"Stolen Car", "Making Pies" and "Long ride Home" with Emmylou
Harris are highlights for me. I can picture myself waking up
on an early weekend morning an lazily starting off the day
with this gem.
Music Review: The majesty of Patty Griffin
Rating: 5 Stars
Why Patti Griffin is not known to every adult in america is a mystery. Why I don't hear her on my radio is confounding. She is the Dylan of this age (her voice a delicate directed whisper one moment, and pealing the paint off the walls in another). Her devastating honesty and intensity confirm faith in the capacity for human expression to attain ethereal majesty. She exposes that inalienable connection we have to a universal truth in speaking directly to the soul. Her songs sear images into my being with a paintbrush of my own experience.
Buy this as an introduction to her other five cd's. You will very likely buy them all.
Music Review: Short but sweet...
Rating: 5 Stars
Like any Patty fan, I was thrilled that she was finally releasing a new album. I loved her first album, "Living with Ghosts" b/c of her amazing voice and emotional lyrics. I was slightly disssapointed in the overdone studio sound to "Flaming Red." Well, she's back to her old self here on "1000 Kisses" and that's a wonderful thing! She's filled w/ emotion and soul. "Rain," "Be Careful," and "Long Ride Home" are my instant favorites. The only complaint is that the CD is too short! ...If you've liked Patty's earlier works... or are simply thinking about expanding your collection of female folk/rock CD's... this is a must have! Enjoy!
Music Review: A Keeper
Rating: 5 Stars
Patty Griffin is one of the greatest singer-songwriters of the past decade and this cd is just as good as her others. Patty sings with honesty and raw emotion that is rarely, if ever, found in 'pop' music. If you enjoy heartfelt lyrics and acoustic guitar then you will enjoy this cd. 'Nobody's Crying' is one of my favorite songs of all time. 'Rain', 'Making Pies', 'Long Ride Home', 'Stolen Car', and 'Be Careful' are my favorites from this cd. "Living With Ghosts", and "Flaming Red", and "Impossible Dream" are other Patty cds worth checking out. I can only hope that Patty will have more music on the way.
