I found Pattys rendition of "Cain" to be the best version I have heard, to date. I do not hear the Bonnie Raitt similarities other than the use of the slide guitar. Other than the Paula Cole song, all the other songs pale next to Patty. I was actually very unimpressed with the rest of the CD. Has anyone noticed how undistictive most of the other artists are with few exceptions. Patty and Paula are the only ones that sing with any emotion. Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. Mark Cicero, Nashville, TN >>> Elaine Bean 05/01/98 06:54am >>> Hi MMs, Just bought the Lilith CD - so far I've only listened to Patty and "Cain". Superb, superb. I think it's worth buying the CD for this one song, but since I love most of the other performers on this CD, I feel I'm really getting my moneys worth. Anyway, what I want to ask the list is, was anyone who has heard this song reminded of Bonnie Raitt? Not so much the voice (although some intonations and slurring of the notes definitely remind me of Bonnie's voice and style), but mostly the rocking guitar riffs. They are both distinctive singers with their own style, but I noticed these similarities in this version of Cain. Did this jump out at anyone else?

I love "Water is Wide" also, and I like Shawn Colvin's "Trouble." A few other songs are pretty, but for the most part, I'm surprised that they didn't choose better performances/songs. The CD seems like it could have been a lot better. I understand that they were making an effort to showcase smaller acts and I definitely respect that, but I can't help thinking it would have been nice to hear from Fiona and Jewel (although it's true that they are so ubiquitous that they don't need the help of a CD like this to give them play...Sarah is right to give others a voice.) Anyway...my point is that the only song that really blows me with very few exceptions is Patty's.

Patty Griffin sounds lovely on a couple of the songs. This disc is produced by John Leventhal (Shawn Colvin's producer and writing partner). On the liner notes the first person that Marc Cohn thanks is Jackson Browne. The new disc features a lot of guitars, where prior to this Marc Cohn was mostly thought of as a piano guy. In a recent article in the Boston Globe about the new CD, Mr. Cohn is quoted as saying, " There was something about being called a piano man in the early days that didn't appeal to me. I was a guitar player, too. Jackson Browne plays piano and guitar. I want to be known for both, too." About Patty Griffin, Cohn says, "She's soulful, deep, and honest. I loved her last record, so I just called her up and asked her to come by. She's the most amazing singer you hear on the record." Cohn will be appearing at the WBOS Earth Festival at the Hatch Shell (Boston) on April 25th. (Patty Griffin has played that gig in '96 & '97). He's modest about his music and his goals for it. "All I can do is write songs that I like, make them into good records, and hope people like them. I can't worry about everything else."
