Editorial Reviews :
Since the breathtaking purity of her debut, Living with Ghosts, Patty Griffin has proven she can luxuriate in glamorous pop, rock like a biker, hold her own on stage with the Dixie Chicks, and write hit songs and singer-songwriter classics. What she hadn't done is craft an album as wholly exquisite and emotional as her talent. With the spare, acoustic 1000 Kisses, she has done just that. In the basement of longtime guitarist Doug Lancio's Nashville home, Griffin takes a suite of intensely personal songs (and three covers, including a tingling version of Bruce Springsteen's 'Stolen Car') into the close confidence of her airy but twang-shaded voice, and draws accordion, cello, mandolin, brushed drums, and even Emmylou Harris into a candid and rare musical space. After a four-year wait, 1000 Kisses is more than reason to celebrate Griffin's return--it's a guileless, glowing masterpiece.
Buyer Reviews :
This is one of those very rare occasions when what you pay has nothing to do with what you get.
Patty Griffin has done it again. This is a wonderful collection of great songs, with thoughful lyrics and beautiful music. The creation is genius the execution is fantastic. The CD shifts ambience, feeling and pace with such grace, aplomb and style, the content falls teasingly short and makes one want more, in the same way that Sherezade kept the King wanting to hear more -- 1000 Kisses is just that. Very smart of her too.
Patty Griffin has a way of combining words, music, sentiment, arrangement, feeling, quirky, catchy and other worldly interpretation such that it is virtually impossible to really define her by reference to anyone else. This is possibly why people who like her music, really do like her music, and at the same time why it is more difficult for trend-followers to be able to indentify real talented artists like this, because they 'need to know' who she is like.
But, if you want to be more than just a follower then listen to this CD, you'll love it, and if you buy it, hey! you'll be a trend-setter who also knows a great thing when you hear it, and, you'll have the CD in your collection to prove it.
Thanks Patty for another priceless CD.
