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 her second album Flaming Red and the results are revelatory. Griffin
didn't stick with traditional rock arrangments -- she also recorded
country-rock, folk, catchy pop and even trip-hop songs, as well. Instead
of camouflaging her songwriting, it actually reveals the richness of
her music and lyrics. Her sonic revision may be more accessible, but
it's no compromise -- Flaming Red is evidence that Griffin is one the more talented and ambitious singer/songwriters to emerge in the late '90s.
