If their music is an indication of the kind of talent on the list , I'm looking forward to the cover tape. You'll kick yourself some day if you spend years wondering "What if ? " Success is great , but even failure is better than not trying if you have the desire. Get your music heard ! Is there also a compilation in the works for original music ? I've already got favorites by Darcie & Nancy that I would like to see on one. There's a whole lot of singing That's never gonna be heard Disappearing every day Without so much as a word Patty Griffin "Top of the World" Don ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 07:10:33 EDT From: Songbird22@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: Third cattle call donhenn@msn.com writes: > Is there also a compilation in the works for original > music ?

I make so many mental notes when I anticipate a review , there's no chance of remembering all of them , & the longer I wait the less I remember. So I get the set list with major notes & hope I remember the important minor ones. What a difference from Winnipeg ! Patty & the band were a finely tuned unit last night , instead of a singer & 4 musicians trying to stay on the same page. The set list was very close to NYC , with "Carry Me" being dropped & "Sweet Lorraine" & "Tony" added: Sweet Lorraine Perfect White Girls Tony Flaming Red Top of the World Blue Sky Swing Me Mary Let Him Fly (With Chix) Patty came on the stage alone , & I thought she was going to go solo for a song or two , but after a minute or so of "Sweet Lorraine" , the rest of the band walked on. The accordion came in first , (Michael is still on keyboards) then the rest of the band. Doug played guitar with a definite country twang , & was excellent. I figured the rest of the set would be more "country-fied" too , but it was no moreso than Winnipeg. I think it was the best song of the set. The arrangement for "Perfect White Girls" was changed some again , with Frank's bass dominating , but Doug's guitar getting in some good licks too. "Flaming Red" used the slow open with the reverb on the guitar. It sounded good at the very beginning when the first few notes were widely separated and quieter , the effect was pronounced , but as the notes got closer & louder , the echoes overlapped & sounded like so much noise. "Swing Me" seemed to have the same arrangement as in Winnipeg with the fast tempo & more of a country sound , but it was much tighter & more polished. It sounds like they are in a good groove for the rest of the tour. I'm glad I stayed for "Let Him Fly" When I was in Winnipeg , I heard it start as I was leaving. I listened for a minute or two & didn't hear Patty so I left. I was disappointed when I heard that she joined them for it. Last night she opened the song solo , & she & Natalie alternated phrases , with them joining on some lines. I was too far from the stage to tell if the other two joined in. I didn't notice from the sound either. As I was listening to them alternate , it was a perfect time to compare voices , while Natalie's is definitely louder & stronger , I like Patty's natural tonal quality much more. When Natalie came in near the end , I thought it was Patty at first , when I realized it wasn't , I was sure that Natalie was trying to duplicate Patty's sound , because they weren't even close at the beginning. Every song was excellent , with Patty's vocals top-notch throughout , & the band's cohesion improving more & more with experience playing together. Definitely at or near the level in SF. I have to again give Patty a lot of credit for creative boldness. "Sweet Lorraine" , "Perfect White girls" & "Swing Me" were different songs last night than the ones I knew last year. Doug's guitar playing was unleashed enough for me to decide (with an absence of any kind of technical knowledge) that he's an excellent guitar player. He had a short , but bluesy & soulful solo on "Top of the World" , & a number of others along the way. He even got in a few licks that reminded me of "acid rock" , including some nicely placed feedback. The first time I saw Patty live was in Boston where he did some great feedback on "Little God". I asked the keyboard player if that was planned & he said no. Now I'm not so sure. His playing was also one of the facets of "Blue Sky" on Letterman that sent me to Boston to see her. On the subject of creative boldness , (are you tired yet ?) "Standing" on the promo is a gospel - dirge sounding song that's going to set her even farther apart from her peers in range of style. Not only that she does them , but she does them as well as the best performers in each genre. The venue was fine as far as the sound went , but the rest of it pretty much sucked. They only had screens on the stage. Not very big. The chicks used all three , but only one was on for Patty , & she wasn't on it. It showed only a Chinese character during her performance, that I imagine is the same one that's on her T-shirts(got one !). Your mad-mission for today , if you choose to accept it , is to find out what it means.When I was getting ready to leave , I went & stood near the exit , & was told that the only place I could stand was in front of my seat. The TVs in the perimeter weren't showing the concert. I'm sure they're on when there's a hockey game. Again , I have to give the Chix their due. Excellent musicians & performers. Natalie can really get that appealing country twang in her voice , & like Patty , seems comfortable in any range & style. Martie "gits" on that fiddle & Emily is definitely no slouch on the guitar. Nobody on that stage last night performed like it was just one more show in a long tour. Intensity & enthusiasm prevailed. Natalie is one bundle of bright energy. I'm going to look at the rest of the tour & see if I can find a city not too far away that isn't on sale yet , or has good tickets for the 2nd show. I'd like to get close for once. The worst thing about the show was that I couldn't see Patty's face or subtle movements. I forgot my binoculars. I realized on the way that Buffalo is the closest city I've visited to see Patty. The 200 miles seemed more like an excursion than a trip after the long drives I've made. Are you tired yet ? OK , I quit. Peace & music.

You might want to check out Shelby Lynne. I just saw her at WXPN's Singer/Songwriter Weekend and she totally blew me away! She's a fantastic performer with a strong stage presence, powerful voice and a top-notch band featuring guitarist, John Jackson. (who played with Bob Dylan, I believe.) Shelby has been around since the early nineties, but hasn't had much success over the years. She finally left the Nashville scene and started writing her own songs. The result is "I Am Shelby Lynne" which is sort of a rock, soul, and blues mix reminiscent of Dusty Springfield, Bonnie Raitt and Aretha Franklin. So check it out, I think you Patty fans would love it. Later, Tony ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 10:08:46 -0400 From: Gary Jacques Subject: MM: RE: If you like Patty... Seeing Shelby Lynne now is more or less, (absolutly less), like seeing Bonnie Raitt in 1970. One heck of alot less talented, but not bad. Very pretty.

Subject: MM: Patty in Austin KGSR plays Patty fairly regularly and I've heard her thank their station mgr. at more than one gig -- seems they've been good to her. I too saw the show with Joan A. at the Backyard. Patty seemed nervous and commented about never knowing what to say and being daunted by seeing the crowd -- but she gave the clearest vocal performace I've heard in the 6 or so times I've seen her. She was fantastic. There are few better feelings than sitting in a chatting crowd until she plays 'Mary' and then hearing it go quiet.

Maybe I would entrust my CD set to the US mail to be the seed - if it gets lost I guess I could beg another one from the person who gave it to me after all. Someone would need to volunteer to make CD sets for at least 6 CD branch people who would then each be able to do it for leaf people. Meanwhile, I'll keep making it on tape for those who want it. Maybe you are all too busy with summer and all. If it turns out to be able to be accomplished, I'll co-ordinate the effort- assigning leaves to branches. This wonderful concert will get spread around the list anyway now that a bunch of you will be able to trade with it.
