Her new album "Impossible Dream" is damn near perfect. This and "1,000 Kisses" have to be two of the most beautiful records I've ever heard.
Any fans here?

Patty Griffin
Look I'm a little slow today, I just switched to Sanka, so have a heart.
Re: Patty Griffin
Yes, I'm a fan but I've really only heard her Flaming Red record. Otherwise, I've seen her in concert a few times; at last year's Austin City Limits Music Festival and on the Concerts for a Landmine Free World Tour with Emmylou Harris, Bruce Cockburn and Tift Merritt (who did a wonderful job filling in for the ailing Mary Chapin Carpenter that evening).meisinger wrote:Her new album "Impossible Dream" is damn near perfect.

are you going to the ACL festival this year??
Well...(said in my best Bubba voice) I've been on sabbatical.
Re: Patty Griffin
I'm not presently planning on it but once they start announcing the lineup the temptation to go will greatly increase. By the way, tickets go onsale tomorrow morning (April 24) at 12:01 am. A limited amount went on sale a few months ago for $35 (can't beat that) but sold out almost immediately, the tix going onsale tomorrow will be $70 which is still a great deal considering the amount of acts you'll see over the course of 3 days.ph4ever wrote:Jahfin wrote:Yes, I'm a fan but I've really only heard her Flaming Red record.

Here's more on this year's ACL Fest. I can't wait to pick up the live album from last year once it's released.

Crow, Pixies Go to Austin
Austin City Limits Festival enters its third year
Sheryl Crow, Trey Anastasio, the Pixies, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson,
Dashboard Confessional and Modest Mouse are among the first wave of
bands confirmed for the third annual Austin City Limits Festival. The
event, which will also feature Franz Ferdinand, Robert Randolph and
Solomon Burke, is set for September 17-19 in the hometown of the
popular Austin City Limits television show, which is celebrating its
thirtieth anniversary.
Over the previous two summers, the Austin City Limits Festival
offered a diverse lineup of music over three days that reflects the
talent that appears on the popular PBS television program of the same
name. More than 130 acts will take part in the proceedings, held on
eight separate stages in the city's Zilker Park.
Austin City Limits is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this
year, and the upcoming season boasts a lineup including festival
performers (Crow, Randolph, the Pixies), returning ACL guests
(Flaming Lips, Norah Jones, Lyle Lovett, Patty Griffin) and newcomers
(Rufus Wainwright, the Strokes). The new season begins airing October
2nd.
A live album from last year's ACL event will be released this summer.
The set includes songs by R.E.M., Ben Harper, the Drive-By Truckers
and Bright Eyes.

Austin City Limits Fest Taking Shape
From Billboard.com:
http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/artic ... 1000505606
Sheryl Crow, Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio and Dashboard Confessional are among the artists confirmed to play the 2004 edition of Austin City Limits (ACL) Festival. Set for Sept. 17-19 in Zilker Park in the heart of the Texas capitol, the annual event will boast more than 130 acts on eight stages.
Organizers confirmed to Billboard.com that the three-day festival will also feature sets by returning performers Ben Harper and Jack Johnson, as well as Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Modest Mouse, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Solomon Burke, Franz Ferdinand and the Beta Band.
Reunited seminal alternative rock act the Pixies was one of the first to let the cat out of the bag, announcing an Sept. 18 ACL fest booking last month along with their fall North American tour plans.
Other artists who have independently confirmed their participation include Dale Watson, Joe Ely, Terri Hendrix, Terry Allen, Bruce Robison, Reckless Kelly, Kelly Willis and Doyle Bramhall. The initial list of acts will be officially announced in June.
Additions to this year's festival include the ACL Experience tent, which will trace the history of the event's namesake PBS television series, "Austin City Limits." Inside, concertgoers can take in performances from the show's archives. Tickets to "Austin City Limits" tapings will also be given away during the event.
The onsite SoCo art market will showcase local artisans, and the SBC YahooDSL! Internet Cafe will offer free online access for attendee. An affiliation with Cingular will offer customers text messaging updates and special ACL Festival offers.
Three-day tickets are already on sale for $70 via the Austin City Limits Festival Web site. Individual day tickets will be made available nearer to the event.
Unaffiliated music travel agency Adventures In Rock has put together three packages for the event. Two include entry to a Sept. 16 Pre Show Soundcheck Gala, while one offers access to a VIP hospitality tent during the festival.
The 2003 ACL Festival drew more than 155,000 people, according to organizers. Among the many performers were R.E.M., Al Green, String Cheese Incident, Ween, Dwight Yoakam, Mavis Staples, Lucinda Williams, Steve Winwood and Los Lobos.
