PATTY GRIFFIN at ACL

After Rodney we went to the opposite end of Zilker to the other main stage where Patty would be playing. Patty was pretty chatty and animated which is kind of rare for her. She did a nice set which included a couple of covers. One was a gospel song and another was a Tom Waits song. I don't remember the names. This is Tuesday & there has been so much music in the last week everything is a blur. She didn't do any new material nor did she mention a record in the works so who knows when we'll get a new release? She played a couple of my favorites, Chief and Love Throw A Line. Love Throw A Line was with a little different arrangement than the record version. She had an upright bass player & that really changed the sound of many of the songs. Everything sounded fresh.
