Patty
Griffin The youngest of seven children, Patty Griffin grew up hearing her mother sing
while doing housework and her grandmother's family sing on the front porch at
night. In
addition to listening intently to the Beatles, Griffin was fascinated by the music of Bruce Springsteen and Rickie Lee Jones. Although she acquired a $50
guitar and began writing songs at the age of 16, Griffin gave little thought to a career as a
musician. After living in Florida for nearly two years, Griffin moved to Boston and married, and while
her husband encouraged her to perform, she spent most of her time
waitressing. However, upon her divorce in 1992, Griffin found herself on her own and began to
perform in Boston-area coffeehouses. She quickly attracted attention to her
well-crafted songs and gutsy vocals. After Griffin's over-produced demo tape reached the
ears of a talent scout, she was encouraged to re-record it with just her
guitar and voice. Within six months, the redone demo resulted in Griffin being offered a recording contract
with A&M. The tape was later released as Griffin's debut, Living With Ghosts, and
inspired comparisons with recordings by Tori Amos and Alanis Morisette. Griffin's second album, Flaming Red, was
released in 1998. Both records showcased the poetic lyricism, bluesy alto
vocals, and melodic guitar picking that defined her style and brought her
admiration. Four years later, Griffin appeared with a modest acoustic effort
entitled 1,000 Kisses. While touring in support of the album in 2002, Griffin documented behind-the-scenes footage
for a future DVD collection. A Kiss in Time, which appeared in October 2003,
included coverage of the tour, interviews, and two full-length videos. A
separate disc capturing Griffin's live stint at Nashville's Ryman
Auditorium accompanied the package. Artists such as Lisa Germano, Emmylou Harris, and Buddy & Julie Miller joined Griffin for the recording of her fourth album,
Impossible Dream, which appeared in April 2004. Almost three years later,
Children Running Through was released. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide |
