You know how you sometimes come across a song that is so good that for a couple of weeks you have to listen to it every time you turn on your CD player? I've had five different songs on "Flaming Red" affect me that way since I bought it in August. When Griffin released her debut album "Living With Ghosts" in 1996, I was impressed with her voice and lyrics, but it didn't hit me nearly so hard because Griffin was accompanied only by her acoustic guitar. In contrast, Flaming Red is a full-blown pop/rock album featuring great players and wonderful songs. I think it is about as close to perfect as music gets these days. Griffin visited Nashville last week for a gig at Exit/In. I got a chance to speak with her about the album, her first tour with a band and her life outside of music. INREVIEW: I'm curious about what it was like to make a band record as compared with the acoustic debut album. Was it more fun? GRIFFIN: For the first record, I actually made a band record too, but that was rejected by my label. THis time out, I made sure that I was really focused going into the project so that I could make the record that I really wanted to make. So I set out to make sure that I had a really good experience making the record and that I worked with a producer I related to musically really well, and that [producer] was Jay Joyce. I think because of the experiences I've had on the road for two years performing I was able to be a lot more comfortable performing in a studio. When you're on the road for two years, you have to perform in all sorts of different circumstances. In the process, you sort of lose that studio fear. It becomes just another place to have a gig. INREVIEW: I had seen you in years past playing solo, but you're touring with a band now. What's that like? GRIFFIN: It's taken me a little while to get used to. The band actually premiered in Nashville, but we've since changed that band around a lot. The arrangements have gotten a little smaller and more performance-friendly. I think that's the big thing I'm learning right now. How to work with them and use them well. I'm so used to carrying the show by myself, and this has a little different energy. And there is a lot that can be done that I just haven't gotten to yet, but I'm learning. It's kind of like going to school in front of everybody right now. INREVIEW: "Flaming Red" is a pretty intricate record production-wise. How much of that are you able to pull off on the road? GRIFFIN: I think the basic outlines are adhered to for the most part. But trying to layer and recreate just isn't going to work out. It is intricate, and the beauty of some of that stuff is just for the record. INREVIEW: I am especially interested in the song "Christina." Writing a song about the troubled love life of Christina Onassis doesn't seem like the usual fare for a pop song. GRIFFIN: That one is actually one of the strangest songwriting experiences I've ever had. I woke up in the middle of the night and had a very clear picture of her face in my head. So I just got up and started writing the song. THe melody started coming to me and I really wanted to work on it. So the song came out, and it was really weird because I had never spent a lot of time thinking about her. So it was kind of a mystery, but every now and then that's just how a song happens. INREVIEW: "Flaming Red" starts with the title track, which is a loud rock song. Did you pick that intentionally to contrast with the first record? GRIFFIN: A bunch of peple got together and picked the lineup for the record. I couldn't do it myself because I was just so close to everything. INREVIEW: I know that at one point you were living in Nashville. Do you still live here? GRIFFIN: I moved to Austin, Texas. I fell in love with someone there and was afaid I'd never get to see him at all unless I lived in the same town with him. So I just moved down there to be close to him. INREVIEW: What was the experience of living in Nashville like for you? GRIFFIN: I really enjoyed it. It was interesting to live in the South since I'm from the Northeast. It was also just great to be around so many hardworking musicians. If there is anything negative, I would have to say that it was having the record business around in such force. Personally, I have a hard time keeping my nose out of it and maintaining the path that I'm supposed to be on. So that was my downfall with Nashville. Separating myself from all of the business going on around me. INREVIEW: There is a style of songwriting that goes on here where people are sort of collaborating in a business sense instead of writing from the heart. You are much more personal than that in your lyrics. Was it odd to be around that kind of writing? GRIFFIN: Yeah, I've actually tried to write with some of those songwriters, and I wrote a few things I was fairly happy with. But I'm not very much at home writing in that formula. INREVIEW: Let me ask you about your home state of Maine. I'm a fan of a band from up there called Rustic Overtones. But other than those guys and you, I haven't heard much music that's come out of Maine. GRIFFIN: Yeah. There is not a lot. There are a lot of people in Maine that play really well, but nobody ever seems to leave Maine (laughs). You'll see cover bands in Maine that are the best you've ever seen. But there isn't much of an original music scene going on up there. There's not a lot of support. People in Maine, its like they're from another country (laughs). I think there is a general feeling that if you're from Maine, nothing like that will ever happen to you, so don't bother trying. Hope ya'll enjoyed this! :) Cristina From owner-mad-mission-news@smoe.org Sun Dec 6 18:01:52 1998 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by smoe.org (8.8.7/8.8.7/listq-jane) id SAA25597 for mad-mission-news-outgoing; Sun, 6 Dec 1998 18:01:36 -0500 (EST) From: UMCaner74@aol.com Received: from UMCaner74@aol.com by imo21.mx.aol.com (IMOv18.1) id NIRTa28824 for ; Sun, 6 Dec 1998 16:55:39 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <4e756ead.366afd5b@aol.com> Date: Sun, 6 Dec 1998 16:55:39 EST To: mad-mission@smoe.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Subject: PattyG-News: Patty Live TONIGHT!!
