ATO RECORDS INKS DEAL WITH PATTY GRIFFIN 1000 Kisses to be released by ATO April 9, 2002 According To Our Records, the independent record label formed by Dave Matthews, his manager Coran Capshaw, and long-time Matthews/Capshaw associates Michael McDonald and Chris Tetzeli, is pleased to announce the addition of singer songwriter Patty Griffin to their roster. Griffin joins a label that includes David Gray, Govt Mule, Chris Whitley, and Ben Kweller. Says ATOs Michael McDonald about the signing, We couldn't be happier about having Patty as part of our family. She is one-of-a-kind. Her songwriting kills us and she's got a voice like no one else on the planet. We're incredibly happy to be working for her! ATO Records will release Patty Griffin's 1000 Kisses on April 9, 2002. The new album is her third release following two releases on A&M Records: 1997's Living With Ghosts and 1999's Flaming Red. These releases showcased Griffin's unique voice, melodic guitar playing and most prominently her immense talents as a songwriter which has led to artists like Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, The Dixie Chicks, Bette Midler, and Martina McBride to cover her songs. 1000 Kisses was produced by Griffin and Doug Lancio (he's worked with Nanci Griffith, Steve Earle and others). The album, for the most part, is minimally arranged with just vocal and guitar, but sounds more lush than sparse largely in part to Griffin's beautifully evocative voice high in the mix. The album includes the lush Spanish standard "Mil Besos," and Bruce Springsteen's Stolen Car. Patty Griffin plans to tour extensively in support of 1000 Kisses.

MMers , Looks like Steve is volunteering to follow Patty now. He's a glutton for punishment ! He was the best of the 4 acts I wasn't familiar with at the Landmine concerts. I'll be there. Hope to hear some new Patty songs. The Patty news came while rewatching the "Gandhi" movie. Generations to come Will scarce believe That one such as this Actually walked this Earth.
