It appears in WYEP's "Year In Review 2002" booklet. The item focuses on the CD, "1000 Kisses". It is followed by testimonials from two listeners, in which 1000 Kisses is honored as #1 also in the online listener poll. Then 1000 Kisses is cited by two of the radio station's hosts. Patty Griffin's 1000 Kisses is a beautifully haunting journey into the darker shadows of the soul. Regret, loss, and yearning are drawn exquisitely in her depictions of ordinary people dealing with private pain, missed opportunities and the struggle to hold on to a lasting love. An old woman reminisces about her passing life in "Making Pies," a widower laments as he leaves his wife's funeral in "Long Ride Home," and girls feign indifference in their desperate search for love and acceptance in "Be Careful." Griffin's sparse acoustic arrangements and her characters' simple, honest language emphasize the potent emotions of her stories. But the record's most profound impact comes from her achingly gorgeous vocals. With each near-whispered phrase, each soprano question mark, Griffin quietly conveys volumes of passion while communicating the delicate hopes and terrible fears of daily existence. There are also glimmers of romance as she takes on the standard "Tomorrow Night" and the sublime title track, "Mil Besos." Sung in its native Spanish, the song perfectly frames this intimate portrait of a brilliant artist. From listener Sandy: The entire album has a flow. I was and am impressed with the depth of feeling and truth she has embedded in her lyrics. Each song is layered with emotions and insight into relationships that span generations. From the listener Manny: Every song on the album is solid. The vocals are incredibly beautiful, the lyrics are touching, and the musical accompaniment is understated though engaging. From radio host Nancy Langer: Riveting from the opening chords to the final reprise, this beautifully produced release showcases Griffin's considerable skill as a songwriter. From radio host Dinah Denmark: From start to finish, 1000 Kisses is an absolutely stunning treasure. If it doesn't snag a Grammy, shame on the Academy. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2002 22:08:05 -0500 From: Jim Murphy Subject: MM: Front Row Ticket Auction The high bid on the Front Row Pit Tickets for the January 25, 2003 show at the Scottish Rite Auditorium is at $77.50.
