Patty Griffin's Biography
Patty Griffin's Impossible Dream comes with a word of caution from the artist.
"There's no ear candy this time," she says.
A veteran listener could be forgiven for wondering what in the world she's talking about. Every Patty Griffin album offers, often simultaneously, beauty and challenge. The depth of her lyric writing and the intensity of her singing have never relented, and if her last studio album, 1000 Kisses, ended on the exultant note of the Mexican ballad, "Mil Besos," every second of that exultation felt honestly earned for both singer and audience.
But Impossible Dream does return her to a world of even greater emotional and social turmoil, the world in which her "Truth #2" became, for her friends the Dixie Chicks, the song that spoke most clearly about what it's like to be censored. Griffin doesn't write protest music but songs like "Don't Come Easy" and "Cold As It Gets" come straight out of a way of seeing the world with politicized eyes. At times here, Griffin sounds like one of her great influences, James Baldwin, nevermoreso than on the opening track, "Love Throws a Line," where the point is that either we catch on to the value of loving one another or we're all sunk.
