“The opening of Patty Griffin’s Live at The Artists Den is startling. In her cover of Sam Cooke’s “Get Yourself Another Fool”, Griffin ends repeating the title lyric, reinterpreting the melody in each line, until softly and beautifully concluding the song. The reinterpretations alone are inspiring. Then, Griffin opens her speaking voice to say thank you, and you get a moment’s realization that this woman, with a voice that can make buildings shake, is soft-spoken and unassuming. Griffin has established herself as one of the most beautiful and important voices of her time, and her performance in Brooklyn that night provides a rare opportunity to hear the songs from her 2007 record Children Running Through live.
“Griffin has established herself as one of the most beautiful and important voices of her time”
That release landed on a host of critics’ year-end lists, but this performance is elevated by the excitement of a crowd hearing songs the very day Children Running Through made its way to the stores.” Joseph Carver at PopMatters. For the complete review, click here.
