New Patty Griffin - "Heavenly Day"

Vet singer-songwriter Patty Griffin has been covered by the esteemed likes of Emmylou Harris, Mary-Chapin Carpenter, and Jessica Simpson -- and now is set to follow-up the awesome Impossible Dream with her forthcoming, fifth effort, a collection of folk-inspired tunes with lush strings ("I Don't Ever Give Up"), roots-y, storytelling ballads ("Trapeze"), and uptempo acoustic rockers ("No Bad News"). Each cut is pushed and colored by her voice, turning even the simplest progressions into slow-building, moving works -- and "Heavenly Day" is a great take on her vocal in action. Fans of Essence-era Lucinda Williams, take note.

Patty Griffin - "Heavenly Day" (MP3)

Children Running Through is out 2/6/07 on ATO.

Enjoy.

Barnes & Noble online is offering a special edition of the album and has 30-second soundclips online of the whole thing. Thanks for posting this awesome track!

Thanks for the latest from Patty. Amazon does not have songs to play...but as noted B&N does. Check out 'You'll remember me' (with stand up bass) and 'burgundy shoes' (with piano).

Hey, folks. I've been jonesing to get my hands on a copy of Patty Griffin's "Silver Bell" bootleg for a while now--it's her wouldabeen third album, which her label refused to release. Does anybody have it, want to post it, or know where I can find it? Thanks!

I KNOW it sucks that the LA venue is sold out! It's such a small place that's why it sold fast. But they are saying that Patty will be back in LA in March...something to look forward to! :)
