Sorry! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 10:21:22 -0500 From: "Donald Henn" Subject: MM: *******Rave Review******* For weekend concerts & rarities I As the millenium approaches, a brilliant new star is rising in the east. That stars' name is Patty Griffin. Patty has star quality plastered all over her; voice, compositions, lyrics, & range. When I say range, I'm not talking about octaves, I'm talking about moving from sensuous, slow-moving, humble whispers that seem to magically hang your emotions in mid-air, waiting for her to decide where to take them next, to powerful, accusatory tones with such a natural flow that you don't realize it until it's over. I'm talking about blues, rock, country, & folk all wrapped up in one performer. A quote from her A&M page illuminates how this can come about, an insight into the boldness of the creative mind. " I just tried to give myself the permission to do things I love to do. I am trying to be myself here and that happens to be a lot of different things. I don't want to be led around by classifications as to what I can & can't do. I'm not a kid and I want to indulge everything, even confusion." My biggest surprise was "Copenhagen" on rarities I. Patty & the band seemed to catch the natural rhythms of the legendary black female blues singers perfectly. Before the first line was out of her mouth, the name Billie Holiday jumped into my mind. "You decided", also from rarities, sounds pure country to me, & has suddenly become one of my favorites. She rocks hard on many songs, most notably, "Flaming red". "Off you go", (Rarities again) seems to be the one with the strongest folk feel . Some or all of these influences seem to intertwine in many of her songs. "Even confusion" - Order out of chaos. I saw all 3 concerts over the weekend & don't know where to start because she was so consistently outdoing herself. I guess the easy way would be to say the longer the performance, the better the concert. I think I'll do the stream-of-consciousness thing. Sunday at the Fez, she talked about her song for the "Anywhere but here" soundtrack, (Twisted Road) said that she didn't know what the movie was about, but they liked her song, & that they had suggested she do something-"You know, like Bruce Springsteen". Monday night she talked about how great it was to meet him at one of his concerts., "Hangin' out backstage". Then she went into a cover of his "Racin' in the street". I'm sure I've heard it many times, but I never noticed it much until Patty did it. She also talked about meeting Bob Dylan and mentioned his often quick, quirky smile before she did "Tomorrow night", a song that he recorded but didn't write. She did a reverb thing with her acoustic guitar that gave it an eerie sound reminiscent of the doors. I couldn't figure out how she was doing it because her fingers weren't moving differently. I finally decided she had a setting for it. If an acoustic guitar is plugged in, is it an electric guitar? "Long ride home" just played. It's so folk it reminded me of Joan Baez. Speaking of watching her fingers, Monday night was the best concert for me, not only because it was the longest, but I was sitting about 5-10 feet away from her. Totally transfixed for the entire performance, watching the eye movement, facial expressions, & occasionally pouting lips. There was a high stool between me & the stage, but I wasn't bold enough to try to sit there. That high & that close would have to be unnerving. Of course she has to work on her concentration level for when she eventually performs before thousands of people.Her only piano tunes were also Monday night. "Peter pan" was great, the other one I don't remember well. On Sunday, as I was prepared to leave for the concert, I was channel surfing & came upon Patty singing "Not alone" at the close of a movie. Tingle my spine!! The context of the movie gave the song even more impact as it showed a man who seemed to contemplating suicide. The name of the movie is "Niagara, Niagara" & the credits showed that she also performed "Regarding Mary". I hadn't been aware of that until now. I'll have to rent it.She also did a song I didn't recognize that started out something like, "I've been on your trail for 6 years now". Also outstanding. I hope I hear it again.Both nights at the Fez she warned us she was working on songs for her new CD, & her dates for Philly & NY were made on short notice & she didn't have time to prepare a show. The result being that we were her guinea pigs, giving her an opportunity to practice her new songs.She may have said that in Philly too. After the Sunday show, I was fortunate enough to find Roberta Flack performing at the Blue Note.The thing that drew me was the memory of a few videos of her live performances. She has that same ability to draw you into her quiet moods that I described in Patty. Roberta Flack is an established star, yet to me, Patty is at least her equal in that area. Patty On!!

I heard that Dave Matthews broke his hand Monday in a horseback riding accident and wont be able to play for the December 10th date, so they are postponing the whole thing, because it was going to be a shared stage/songwriters-in-the-round kinda deal hosted by Emmylou.

I love her cut-to-the-bone, passionate genuineness. The cracks, lilts, or whatever "unplanned" thing sneaks into the performance, only make the experience more real for me. That's my two cents! shannon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 23:25:11 -0500 From: "Donald Henn" Subject: MM: Cruise with Patty The Houston dates on Pollstar are actually for a 7 day Caribbean cruise starting at $1500 for double occupancy. Approximately 20 other artists are going to be along. I'm not familiar with any of the others, but If Patty is going to play a full set every day, it's very tempting.
