Patty Griffin

Patty Griffin has always been my parents favorite. Growing up she's always been playing in the background but this weekend I actually added her to my playlists and took her out of the background! I am now a fan. Mostly of her older albums like 1000 kisses and A Kiss in Time. I really like that it's just her and the instruments aren't so overpowering. Her voice is really distinct and it's clear that it is the main focus of her songs. "Top of the World" is a good one that Patty actually wrote for the Dixie Chicks but is also on one of Patty Griffin's albums too! I can't decide which one is better. I think I almost like the Dixie Chicks adaptation of it better but I couldn't tell you why.. probably because the Dixie Chicks version is a little faster and has more variation. The first six songs of 1000 Kisses are awesome, especially Long Ride Home.
