| | Patty Griffin Children Running Through CD Patty Griffin Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
Part of the same New England coffeehouse singer-songwriter scene that spawned Dar Williams and Lori McKenna, Patty Griffin has stayed comfortably in the margins between rock, folk, and country for a number of years while developing a reputation as a songwriter's songwriter. Her material gets covered by superstars such as the Dixie Chicks, but on CHILDREN RUNNING THROUGH Griffin makes a strong case for herself as her own woman. A solid collection of tunes ranging from the Bonnie Raitt-like strut of "Stay on the Ride" to the country-rocking "Getting Ready" to the tender "Someone Else's Tomorrow," CHILDREN RUNNING THROUGH is one of Griffin's strongest albums. A particular highlight is the gospel-infused celebration "Up to the Mountain (MLK Song)."

Rolling Stone (p.74) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t is Griffin's voice -- its clear, natural force and her disciplined way with vibrato -- that hits you first..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.72) - "The most breathtaking son is 'Trapeze,' a harmony-rich Emmylou Harris duet that's a paradigm of Griffin's empathic alt-country." -- Grade: A-
Q (p.125) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Griffin's voice is a startlingly expressive instrument, pitched somewhere between the feather-light intimacy of Norah Hones and the gospel-tinged populism of Eva Cassidy."
Uncut (p.82) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[H]er songwriting here...demonstrates a depth and majesty previously absent from her work."
Dirty Linen (p.72) - "These songs are well sung, the lyrics are smart, and they're set to attractive arrangements....A thoughtful, carefully delivered contemporary folk album."
No Depression (p.82) - "CHILDREN RUNNING THROUGH is all about Griffin reveling in the suddenly -- startlingly -- enormous power of her singing."

Children Running Through

Patty Griffin's Living with Ghosts was an impressive debut, but its spare acoustic arrangements occasionally made it sound more like a sketchbook than a completed album. Shortly after its release, her label commissioned a new version of "Let Him Fly," which matched her vocals to a full live band. Satisfied with the results, Griffin decided to flesh out the instrumentation on ...
| | Patty Griffin 1000 Kisses CD (2002)
Children Running Through
$7.99
1000 KISSES was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
Patty Griffin's success is either a testament to the eclecticism of the American music-buying public or to the success of the soundtrack to the movie OH BROTHER WHERE ART THOU? 1000 KISSES isn't a great departure for the Boston singer-songwriter--she's still singing the kind of perfectly formed mini-stories that inhabited her debut album, 1996's LIVING WITH GHOSTS. The main difference here is the assurance with which she presents her material--it's spare, sparsely orchestrated, ...

Like Billie Holiday, John Lee Hooker, and Kurt Cobain, among others, Lucinda Williams is an artist with that certain difficult-to-define quality, the ability to channel the collective soul through a voice that is intimate, personal, and entirely her own. WEST, Williams's 2007 release, bears all ...

Children Running Through
$14.35
Minus some high-profile guest spots on other rappers' albums, Yukmouth has made little impression outside of rap's hardcore inner circle since his days with the Luniz. With the guest stars often overtaking the man and an overstuffed track list, United Ghettos of America, Vol. 2 isn't going to change that much, but the hardcore get a better album than usual and it's a shame some of these tracks won't even make it to radio. "We Just Wanna Thug" is bright electro with a great N.O.R.E. appearance, E-40 and Yuk nail it on "Kalifornia G'z," "I Love Dro" is a worthy smoking song, and the cinematic "American Me" is just about the most exciting moment Yukmouth has served up by his lonesome. Chalk it all up to the guest stars. Not that their raps are better; ...
| | Jay-Z Collision Course CD (2004) With DVD; Edited
Children Running Through
$11.59
In keeping with rap-rock crossovers dating back to Aerosmith and Run-DMC, MTV used its ULTIMATE MASH-UPS show to put Jay-Z and Linking Park on one stage. The result is COLLISION COURSE, a combination DVD/CD package that crystallizes the meeting of New York City's Jay-Z with California rap-rockers Linkin Park. With LP MC/vocalist Mike Shinoda doing double-duty as the EP's producer, the results flow nicely over six tracks. Jay-Z's rapid-fire rhymes in "Jigga What" fit hand-in-glove amid the pounding guitars and howls of Linkin Park's "Faint." And the Jackson 5-sampling "Izzo" ducks and feints in a way that makes it a nearly seamless match with "In the End." Most impressive is how Jay-Z's seminal thumper "99 Problems" boldly wedges itself between the thunderous ...
