WARNING: This review is very emotional. I don't recommend listening to this while you're working out!
Singer/songwriter, Patty Griffin's first album, Living with Ghosts was released in May 1996 by A&M Records. Before recording this album, Patty moved down to Boston, MA from her home state of Maine. For years, she played small coffee shops, without focusing on becoming famous or even a professional musician. She just wanted to write and play.
Patty and her producer, Nile Rogers, felt confident the record company and the public would be moved emotionally by Griffin’s country-fused, sweet, gruff singing voice and lone acoustic guitar. No frills. Nowhere for a musician to hide. Show us what you got!
Griffin begins each track singing sweetly, softly into her microphone. She strums careful, delicate chords that release a comfortable sound from her acoustic guitar. By each song’s end, she is strumming so eagerly and aggressively, that it is almost part of her art that the strings soon sound out of tune. Her voice echoes as she sings louder and louder. If you were not paying attention before, you are now.
