Not sure what’s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Living With Ghosts gets. Living With Ghosts stated simply is one of Patty Griffin’s best CDs to date.
I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Living With Ghosts. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of Patty Griffin’s most impressive releases ever.
Rock music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Steve Barry and Others plus a few other notables as well.
Overall Living With Ghosts is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Rock collection. Truly an outstanding Rock CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.
While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 4 - Time Will Do The Talking, track 8 - You Never Get What You Want, and track 10 - Not Alone
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Moses. Wow!
