While missing the appealing punk-rock intensity of Flaming Red’s title track, 1000 Kisses is Griffin’s most consistent and accomplished effort to date. Her lyrics, her vocals, and the arrangements that surround them flow unstrained off the record and straight into the heart. Gone is the unevenness that detracted from her otherwise impressive previous efforts. Closer to the acoustic simplicity that characterized her debut, Living With Ghosts, the new album showcases a more mature Griffin. Her latest album, 1000 Kisses, showcases that gift in a remarkably poignant fashion. She has a keen eye for the humanity all around her, the heart to feel their joy and sorrow, and the integrity to lay bare that heart. Tender, passionate, incisive, penetrating, genuine-Patty Griffin has a gift for writing direct, conversational, narrative songs.
