Album Description
Available in:
"Patty Griffin" is an album by American singer-songwriter Patty Griffin, It was independently released on March 8th, 2019 in conjunction with Thirty Tigers.
User Album Review
Patty Griffin’s tenth album is her first in four years and the first to carry an eponymous title. It is very much a personal statement, one informed by both her successful battle with breast cancer and the cancerous state of the nation. It’s also some of the bluesiest work she’s recorded, the songs often more inclined to mood and feel than hummable melodies.
All but two tracks featuring David Pulkingham on guitar, it opens with their co-write, Mama’s Worried, her jazz-inflected vocals accompanied only by just his Spanish acoustic on a song from the perspective of a child observing the struggles of her mother to keep the household together and maintain her dignity after her husband walked out, singing (the blues, you assume) to keep her spirits up while others “look at us and turn up their nose.” You could hear Billie Holiday singing this.
An album of quiet grace, determination, survival and self-identity, this serves as a reminder of her status among the Americana greats. Griffin has been through some hard times, but, as the song says “you can’t hold her back for long/A river is just too strong/And she’s a river.” Long may she flow.
