TRUTH #2 (words and music by Patty Griffin) EMILY: That's one of two new songs we did by Patty Griffin who we were proud to take out with us on the Fly tour. What do I love about Patty? She's just so raw and candid about her experiences. I've often wished I had more emotional baggage. so I could be a better songwriter. NATALIE: If I could be anybody as a songwriter I would want to be Patty. I think all her songs are truly about somebody or something. It's not like she's developed a hook and then had to write a song around it, which is what a lot of songwriters do, myself included. She draws from so much life experience and people around her. We got both of those songs from an album of hers that was never released which was a shame for her, but good for us because we got to record two of her songs that nobody has heard before. MARTIE: We actually worked up "Truth #2" to play live on the Fly tour and audiences reacted really well to it. It's hard to play a new song to an arena full of people and have them respond to it as instantly as they would to a hit song they've heard on the radio. TOP OF THE WORLD (written by Patty Griffin) MARTIE: I just loved that song when I first heard Patty do it and I knew Natalie could bring the same kind of emotions to it. I loved the opportunity to use the orchestra there. I hadn't read music since my S.M.U. days. EMILY: "Top of the World" is, once again, Patty Griffin and she's awesome. That track to me is the biggest departure on this album, but I'm so glad that we did it because I think it shows a whole other dimension. NATALIE: That's probably one of my favorite songs on the album. But on this album, my favorite changes all the time. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2002 09:41:44 -0500 From: "Cristina Minter" Subject: MM: Whitaker CD Hi everyone!

First of all, I love Ruby's Arms...the whole sound of it sends chills down my back. I also like the song before that...w/ Hollis Brown...but what's it called? And I'm glad there was a Darcie Miner song on there, b/c I liked it and ordered the cd. Great voice. Mike Fracasso's growing on me too. But I dunno if I'd like him w/o Patty. - -Lisa ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2002 20:47:55 -0500 From: "Sean and Rebecca Courtney" Subject: MM: Tift Merrit's Bramble Rose I posted this on another music list earlier, and thought I'd pass it along here: Let me add to those who have already recommended Tift Merrit's Bramble Rose. I picked it up today at Best Buy for $7.99 (sorry indie stores, but times are tight, and God knows you've got my cash plenty o' other times) and I gotta say, I love this disc. If anyone out there is a Patty Griffin fan, I'd think that they'd find this disc to their liking as well. It is not the heart-aching country that Neko Case puts out or the wonderfully folky stuff that Gillian puts out, and it's actually kind of mainstream sounding, but you can't deny the woman's voice. Not mainstream in the sense that she'll be appearing on TRL anytime soon, but in the sense that I can see my mom digging the disc as well. I had heard a tune by her with the Two Dollar Pistols on a sampler before, but that was about it. The band she's got behind her are no slouches either. She's also on the line-up for ACL Fest.
