I think I was first drawn to this singer because he reminded me of Tom Waits. After downloading and listening to a few songs, I realized his voice was different somehow, maybe slower, maybe darker. This song is from Last Exit to Happyland, released earlier this year. That is Patty Griffin with him. MP3 File yousendit

Love this.. Been rediscovering Patty Griffin of late. A Mainer, she writes sometimes like Springsteen (but clearly doesn't sing like him..). Found this on Y'tube. Sign me up.

She’s a songwriter whose waters I have wandered into deeply with a few specific songs, but I know she has so much more out there than what I have experienced. My first introduction to this Maine musician was her song “Top of the World,” covered [...]
