Heard a song by this singer Patty Griffin a few months ago while traveling ...and it just clicked
with me , called :
"Blue Sky"
It's raw , and driving , and pushing hard....and then lets up into this chorus like a wave on the shore . There's release , and happiness and frustration , and sharing the last laugh on it all ...as she sings her way into a beyond ..into ----> "Blue Skies".
Then she picks up that driving forward , and higher and higher chant until you see her vanish flying on marching up into the blue.... and shes gone . Nice tune for driving on a sunny day through the country . She was nominated for grammy this year for contemp country album . I LOVED that tune ...but couldn't find out who did it , and didn't hear it again until today , stopped the car immediately and called the "KRUSH" radio station and got the name of it and her . She usually does more slow very soft country~ballad material , but "Blue Sky" really rocks and has this totally wild intro and marches on with the powers above following along.
* She played/opened up at the 1996 concert for Jewel, she gave just for the people on her mailing list 9called "JewelStock"0 of course ! ... and Patty made a few friends that night .
