1PATTY GRIFFIN1000 KISSES

I can't say enough about "1000 Kisses" by Patty Griffin. It's poetry set to music with no shortage of melody. And oh, that voice, just 9 songs with 1 instrumental and each one paints a picture. The opening cut "Rain" evokes Joni Mitchell with the lines "strange how hard it rains now/ rows and rows of big dark clouds", but Griffin's got a style all her own on the next cut, the sad story of "Chief", one of the few uptempo cuts on this extremely mellow album. The 3rd track "Stolen Car" is not the Beth Orton tune, but is perhaps my favorite on the album, a song about love lost, with a vocal that goes for the gut. WFUV played "Makin' Pies" and got me interested in the album in the first place. The almost perky melody belies the sad story of the elderly woman who lives to work at Table Talk Pie Company. "Be Careful" is similar to "Stolen Car" in tone, but is solid in its own right, warning all the girls to "be careful how you bend me." Then there's "Long Dark Road" with Emmylou Harris singing backing vocals like it was 1976 all over again. So right for Country Radio about a woman riding home from her lover's funeral. "how hard would it have been to find some kinder words instead/i've had some time to think about you on the long ride home". Another weeper, a torch song, then a Mexican ballad precede the brief instrumental "Reprise". If you're at all a fan of accessible folk songs sung gorgeously with poignant lyrics and melodic hooks, then "1000 Kisses" will leave you as breathless as it left me this year.
