He and his band Roxy Music pretty much invented the rich, textured sound of the early 80's, maybe even late 70's. The guy is a master and should go down in history as one of only a handful of musicians who are partly responsible for a lot of the music we listen to today. Do a web search. I'm sure there are many pages devoted to him.

I don't think this was already mentioned... Flaming Red is Album of the Week in this week's People Magazine ( the July 20th issue w/ Barbra & James on the front ). Here's the hand-typed review... and can I just say that I can't STAND Barbra Streisand ? Thank you. Some fans complain that last year's all-woman Lilith Fair tour lacked the raw energy of supposedly more aggressive male power groups. This year's Lilith tour promises to be more diverse, with performers like Missy Elliot and Bonnie Raitt adding hip hop and electric blues to the mix. And for high volume, hormone-driven rock and roll, count on Lilith sophomore Patty Griffin, a diminuitive singer-songwriter from Maine who, as this album featuring powerhouse rock drummer Kenny Aronoff and producer guitarist Jay Joyce shows, has made an abrupt about-face from her 1996 acoustic CD Living With Ghosts. Even when Griffin rocks her hardest, however, her crystal voice commands the high ground. And she never allows the sound to drown out the lyrics of these 13 well-crafted songs, which include an aching memorial for a long-dead friend, as well as several topical tunes. Among the latter : a song about an ostracized gay schoolboy's suicide and another about the romantic problems of the late Christina Onassis. Things slow considerably toward the end of the album, but the opening title track, about a defiantly carnal young girl's love for her red pumps, is an irresistible rocker sure to galvanize Lilith's legions. Bottom Line : A folkie plugs in, and the effect is often electrifying. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Jul 1998 14:45:34 -0400 (EDT) From: "Stephen V. Gilmore" Subject: MM: WXPN's Singer-Songwriter Fair in Philadelphia--weekend of July 10-12, 1998 Anyone have any reviews of the Fair from any broadcast or print media in the Philadelphia/New Jersey/New York envrions--not just of Patty, but of other acts and the festival as a whole? Is this the first year for the fair, or has it been staged previously? And will it be staged in future years? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Jul 1998 15:29:24 -0400 From: Tim Burke Subject: MM: Re: Patty No Show at the Riverfest - ->The good news is I DID get my money back!

And yeah Patty not being there was a bummer. Especially because I've still never seen her even after being a fan for a year and a half now and I owe it all to Rachel. :P Every time Patty's in the area I have a final, or a midterm, or a 14-page paper, or work, or elections, yadda yadda it's been like five or six times now I've missed her. I think it's my destiny to never ever see Patty Griffin :( ...coming up, a brand new magazine review of FR :) - -tim 'burkeman' "I have a .sig file for every mailing list but this one" - ----------------------------------------- Tim Burke tb340297@ohiou.edu "It doesn't matter where you ought to be, how you get there's the thing" - ----------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Jul 1998 13:05:03 -0700 From: "Larry S.

I believe that Barbara Streisand is the antichrist. Someone at South Park believes that, too; they did an hysterical episode about her a few months ago. I further believe that the world is divided into people who see this and people who don't. I'm glad that you are on my side of this. Please don't get the idea that I'm a hateful or vengeful person; I just think she's the biggest vampire, and it slays me that anyone could be a "fan" of hers. Whatever....

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Today, one of the DJ's (after playing OBL) said it was one of her favorite songs, then plugged Patty's upcoming concert with Sister Hazel on the 23rd. After reading about all these great reviews for FR and hearing Patty more often than in the past, I'm sure this will be the breakthrough album I'm sure she's hoping for. What I'd like to know is if anyone knows of the sales totals on Flaming Red, because I'd be really curious to find out. I went on Billboard's web site but they didn't have a search engine to find out that sort of information. Whoever knows, I'm sure the rest of us would be curious too. Take care everyone. Nine days and counting until I FINALLY get to see Patty live.
