Patty Griffin - Crown Of Roses

 

Patty Griffin — Crown of Roses

First album in six years by the Grammy-winning artist

Limited edition turquoise colored vinyl

Crown Of Roses sees Patty Griffin shifting fluidly between intimate confessions, philosophical musings, and symbolic storytelling. Ruminating on a vast array of themes and deeply personal topics, spanning the trajectory of women in the 20th and 21st centuries and communion with nature, to the sound of her voice after cancer treatment made its mark, to the relationship with her late mother, whose wedding day photo graces the album's cover, set into artwork by Mishka Westell that captures many of her greatest loves, including the Maine woods of her — and Patty's — childhood.

"If I try to hit things on the nose, they don't feel authentic to me," Griffin says. "If I can emotionally dance around things, it feels like I can be more honest singing it."
