From the new CD's sultry opening track, "Love Throws A Line" to the soaring "Top of the World," the album is Patty's most poignant set of songs to date. Its intuitive songwriting promises to further cement Griffin's reputation as one of the most formidable lyricists of her time. Artists including Bette Midler, the Dixie Chicks, Martina McBride and Emmylou Harris have covered her songs on their most recent albums. Impossible Dream was produced by fellow Austin based musician Craig Ross (Lisa Germano/David Garza) at the city's Small Festival Balls and Wire Recording studios. Patty chose him because, "Craig is one of the most gifted artist I know." In addition to Patty on guitars, vocals and piano, the album features Doug Lancio on guitars, Michael Ramos on trumpet, Jon Greene and Brady Blades on drums, J.D. Foster on bass, Ian Maclagen on piano and Wurlitzer, and Lisa Germano on violin. Emmylou Harris, Craig Ross and Buddy & Julie Miller provide additional vocals. Over the past seven years, Patty Griffin has created an ever- widening circle of fans with her distinctive voice. Rolling Stone called it "an amazing instrument." After her sparse and acoustic 1996 debut, Living With Ghosts, artists began covering Patty's songs immediately. In 1997, she released her rocking follow-up, Flaming Red, earning her the reputation for successfully exploring varied genres of music. In 2002, Patty offered an eclectic mix of stripped down recordings with her Grammy-nominated 1000 Kisses which the Chicago Sun Times said, "features all of Griffin's hallmarks: finely wrought tales of compelling characters, emotionally charged vocals and memorable melodies." Patty was on the road for the latter half of 2003 as an integral part of the Songwriters tour also featuring Mary Chapin Carpenter, Dar Williams and Shawn Colvin. Last October, ATO released A Kiss in Time, a behind the scenes DVD and live CD. Patty is currently readying for the Impossible Dream tour: dates and cities to be announced soon. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2004 14:35:50 -0500 From: "Ira Post" Subject: MM: Re: RE: Impossible Dream Thanks, Holly. That's great news. I'm looking forward to it. I'm glad that 'Top of the World' will be on it. That's one of my faves.

Would anyone happen to have an mp3 of Patty's - "Tomorrow Night"? I was so excited in my guitar class last week when my teacher wanted us to learn this song...and I told her that I would bring in a copy so that everyone could hear it. Unfortunately - I forgot my copy and I can't get it before class. Just thought I would throw it out there and ask. Not a big deal though...
