Subject: MM: Other Patty-type recommendations Hi there, Been lurking for a while and thoroughly enjoying it (oh Gary, you are soooooo evil). I can only echo Ma'ee's frustration at being in the UK -- I passed on the Emmylou Harris show at the Albert Hall, hoping that she'd do a smaller gig on the side, but it never happened. Still, Ma'ee, there's tons of other good stuff around, especially in London -- the Indigo Girls come to the Shepherd's Bush Empire at the end of this month, and keep an eye out for Thea Gilmore at the Borderline. Which brings me (no, believe me, it does) to the subject of similar tasty artistes. Thanks for giving out the word on Sarah Harmer -- her "You Were Here" cd is a really nice release -- a bit smoother than Patty, without the raw edge and heartache that I love about her, but it's got a haunting melancholia all of its own. I was told she was brilliant live, but saw her at the Borderline (great little London venue) early last year and wasn't overly impressed with her. Still, I'd get a new album by her in a minute, and probably go and see her perform it. My own kinda-Patty recommendation is Eliza Gilkyson, whose "Hard Times in Babylon" took me waaaayyy by surprise last year. More countryish than I usually like, it really worked its way under my skin, and I keep going back to it. She's got a really well-worn sounding voice (and I mean that in the nicest way) and a wry, downbeat sense of humour. It made it into my top ten list of the year, without a doubt. But then (sorry about this, Gary) so did Natalie Merchant's "Motherland". This was, to me, her best release yet -- far earthier, funkier and bluesier than anything she's done so far, and her voice has matured greatly. I got it for Christmas, listened to it a couple of times, and it went straight into my top ten. It's THAT good. So, don't listen to Gary (he's evil, I tell you -- EVIL!) -- give it a try. adam k. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Jan 2002 11:38:21 EST From: FoxDugal@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: Other Patty-type rec...B+P I'll B+P any combination of the following: 2 Edie Carey shows (8/9/01 @ Passim in Cambridge and another opening for Deb that eludes me for the moment) a Kris Delmhorst show a Deb Talan show (the one Edie opened for) a Sarah Harmer show (at Paradise in Boston a little while back) Russ 'Would that I could get me some of your yum yum delirium.' ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Jan 2002 12:29:52 -0500 From: "* Darcie *" Subject: MM: producer for 1000 kisses i would love to know who it is too. if it is daniel lanois i will pass out. she deserves the best. ~darc http://www.darcieminer.com http://www.beyondmusic.comGet more from the Web.

The only woman on my top-ten list this year was Gillian Welch. She really isn't much like Patty (I think of Patty as rock; Gillian is definitely folk), but if you like folk music, her record "Time (the revelator)" is not to be missed. Definitely one that those who dug the O! Brother soundtrack would enjoy. The record has a timeless quality about it that is hard to express but that has me absolutely mesmerized right now. I discover something new about with every listen. It's odd to try and come up with "similar" artists to Patty to recommend, because I really think she's pretty unique in what she's putting across. I agree that Sarah Harmer isn't like Patty at all (although I liked You Were Here). happy new year! - -Lisa C. Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!

She drifts too far from folk (as far as I'm concerned). But I have played that CD TOO many times. I'm a fan of lots of styles, tho so I can't really be a good judge on whats good and whats not. Everyone sees things differently :) For instance, I found Sarah Harmer's "You Were Here" cd to be INCREDIBLE! and I'm anticipating anything new by her. I'm not really into Patty Larkin but I might be after my friend lets me listen to her some more. It's just going to take some doing on my part. Sometimes people don't immediately strike me. Sarah Harmer and Gillian Welch (not to forget David Rawlings, Gillian's partner) both immediately struck me. I couldn't get enough of them :) Still can't! I'd love to see Gill and Patty together on the same stage. WOW! That would blow me away ~tim - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa C" To: Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2002 3:21 PM Subject: MM: Recommendations and Musings > Golly, if we're doing recommendations, I'll make > one... > > The only woman on my top-ten list this year was > Gillian Welch.

Kasey Chambers would be up there, but she's alot Country and her songwriting isn't there with Patty or Julie yet. She is an incredible singer though. I saw her in Chicago last year and it was one of the best shows I've seen. Lucinda Williams, and Eliza Gilkyson (who kinda looks like an older Lucinda), Nancy Griffith all are cool, but they're not Patty. EmmyLou is probably the best singer out of them but she is kind of boring sometimes. Karla Bonoff is another good singer/songwriter but a little too "Pop" sometimes. I downloaded a couple Miranda Lee Richards songs, she sounds to me like a cross between Samantha Fox and Haley Mills. ("Let's get together yeah, yeah, yeah). Nowhere near Patty. Which brings me to a question, do you think that Record Co.s or Managers ever use these lists to put the word out about their client? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Jan 2002 17:26:19 -0600 From: "folkyboy" Subject: Re: MM: Other Patty-type recommendations has anyone tried out kris delmhorst? www.krisdelmhorst.com :) she is my favorite female artist and she has done a Patty cover before. One that put it to justice as well! :) she's more "Ghosts" then "Flaming" but she's still a very good look-alike :) She also has covered Gillian Welch. Her newest CD "Five Stories" was on a LOT of radio stations and reviewers top 10 of 2001. Even if you have never heard of her, I'd suggest you go check her out :) She's definately got soul in that folk. ~tim - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2002 5:16 PM Subject: Re: MM: Other Patty-type recommendations > In a message dated 1/6/02 4:53:24 PM Central Standard Time, > lindaray64@msn.com writes: > > > > > > > > > > Nanci Griffith, Julie Miller, maybe Marlee MacLeod, I'm thinking. > > > > Linda > > I've spent the last couple years listening to Patty Griffin and Julie Miller > almost exclusively as Female Artists go, and I gotta say, I haven't run > across ANY Female Songwriter/Singers that are any where comparable to either > one of them. > Kasey Chambers would be up there, but she's alot Country and her songwriting > isn't there with Patty or Julie yet.

She is an incredible singer though. I >saw her in Chicago last year and it was one of the best shows I've I was JUST going to post about Kasey Chambers! First I was going to reply to the numerous posts about Sarah Harmer. I have to agree wholeheartedly with the fact that she is absolutely wonderful! I don't think she and Patty are comparable except for the fact that their both the acoustic singer-songwriter sounds. Patty is raw and unkempt to me and Sarah is smooth and clean. Sounding, that is. :) I would also agree with the fact that "You Were Here" is one of the smartest buys of my 2000-01 cd purchases. But as for Kasey... I first heard a couple of her songs a while ago online or somewhere. I was turned off because of the country sound and "twangy-ness". But my best friend had her cd on the other day and wanted me to hear a few songs. I soon changed my tune and am since singing the praises of Kasey. Some of her songs still have that twang to them (that I've now grown to enjoy!) but mostly I find her sound to be more alt-country or folk-country, with a little bluegrass feel as well. Her voice is completely mezmerizing - with a Julie Miller type quality (i think) and her songs are simple and to the point with that hook that gets you every time. :) Y'all should definitely check out "The Captain" and if you like it, check out her earlier cd "Barricades and Brickwalls". Her even earlier work was in a band with her family called "Dead Ringer Band" and her latest cd ("The Captain") has a special bonus cd which includes covers from Ben Harper ("Another Lonely Day") and from Neil Finn of Crowded House ("Better Be Home Soon") - both lovely covers! :) Anyways...that's my $0.02 :D Peace and Happy New Year, Sarah )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( "Any civilization that does not recognize the female is doomed to destruction.
