Summary: Downtown Church by Patty Griffin 2010-03-07
Comment: I was very disappointed by the music on this CD. I have other CD's by the artist and have always liked her music. This CD, however is boring and slow. There were maybe one or two songs that I liked and will probably sell it to a used record store.

Summary: Patty Griffin sings like an angel! 2010-03-07
Comment: Are you a Patty Griffin fan? IF so, add this CD to your collection. Haunting and beautiful-and recorded in a church, she sings a variety of new and traditional songs concerning faith and belief (and sometimes the lack thereof). She is one of our best, 'least-known' singers. Spread the word. She is a wonderful talent that deserves more of the world's attention!

Summary: Excellent music from Patty Griffin 2010-03-05
Comment: I saw Patty Griffin last May with Buddy Miller, Emmylou Harris and Shawn Colvin. She distinguished herself with that fine company. Several of the songs were said to be released on her upcoming album. At last it is out. And it is as good as I was anticipating.

Comment: Patty Griffin is my all time favorite singer-songwriter.... And while this CD is a turn from the albums I'm used to hearing from her. It's a CD of wonderful spiritual songs that are alternately beautiful, fun, driving and uplifting. I love everything Patty does and sings about - this CD is no exception.
