Album: American Kid
There was a time when I used to listen to A LOT of female singer-songwriters. I don't really know what happened, but my interest tempered off over time. Given the time period I should have really gotten into/loved Maine-born Patty Griffin, who has released critically acclaimed, Americana-style folk/rock/country since the mid-90s. My good friend Dave was a big fan, and sang her praises quite a bit, I never took the bait.
Griffin has just released her seventh album, a tribute to her father entitled American Kid. Oddly, I heard the track "Ohio" as part of the theater advertising before an advanced screening of World War Z last week and was struck by it so I picked up the album. It's really beautiful, and perfect for a slightly melancholy, but beautiful summer day. I'm feeling it.
Check out the upbeat "Don't Let Me Die in Florida" below, and the full album here on Spotify:
Enjoy.
