Brandi Carlile: Bear Creek

Bear Creek is a demonstration of Carlile and her band’s incredible musical talent, but it’s also a jumbled mess of genre and poor sequencing.

Patty Griffin: The Pageant, St. Louis, MO -3/30/07

Griffin’s performance at The Pageant during her current tour supporting her new album, Children Running Through, helped further reveal to me what she is all about.

Patty Griffin: Sun Shining Through (INTERVIEW)

For Patty Griffin, praise hasn’t been the problem. The man who discovered her, John Curtis, after hearing her sing for the first time, remembered having “no doubt, no doubt at all.” Dave Matthews, who proudly supports Griffin on ATO Records, the label he founded, “can't think of a more beautiful singer and a better songwriter alive today.” Steve Earle suspects that Patty’s songs “make most people a little uncomfortable–like they've just walked in on a private moment in someone else's life and they know they should turn around and tiptoe away, but they can't. They make me jealous."

Patty Griffin 3/22/2005: The Pageant, St. Louis, MO

Originality is what fuels Patty Griffin and her live performance. What her shows lack in quantity (she only played about 80 minutes), she delivers in quality: each note that comes from her lungs, if not perfect, strives for a uniqueness that no one can attempt to cover. Mostly performing tunes from her 2004 release Impossible Dream, Griffin was productive for every second, even when she talked about how bad the St. Louis Cardinals played in the 2004 World Series.
