So I went and saw Patty Griffin at the Park West tonight, and she was excellent. The show was fairly low-key (she didn’t even have a drummer), which I normally don’t like, but I let her and Aimee Mann get away with because they’ve got such fucking gorgeous voices you actually want spare arrangements live.
Oh, and Coop, she played an unfuckingbelievable version of Springsteen’s “Stolen Car.”
Anyway, if you like Lucinda Williams or any other alt-country AT ALL, you should really check out 1000 Kisses, Patty’s new album.
