Description

Turquoise Coloured Vinyl!

Patty Griffin™s new album, Crown of Roses, is a deeply personal and introspective work that explores themes of identity, nature, family, and womanhood. Emerging from a creative drought during the pandemic, Griffin”two-time Grammy winner and Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement honoree”found herself reevaluating the stories she™d long told herself. The result is an eight-track collection that is both sparse and emotionally rich, blending folk, Americana, and gospel blues.
Produced by long-time collaborator Craig Ross, the album features contributions from trusted bandmates David Pulkingham and Michael Longoria, and a haunting vocal cameo from Robert Plant. Griffin's vocal approach changed after cancer treatment, leading her to embrace a softer, more intimate style that reflects the vulnerability and strength woven through the songs.
Much of Crown of Roses is shaped by Griffin™s relationship with her late mother, whose love of music and nature left a lasting imprint. The album cover features her mother™s wedding photo, symbolizing their deepened bond in the last years of her life. Songs like Born in a Cage� and Way Up to the Sky� echo her mother™s observations of a vanishing natural world and Griffin™s own reckoning with mortality and legacy.
Griffin also confronts her past efforts to understand and please men, ultimately shifting her creative focus toward women™s experiences. She calls this her first album primarily concerned with women™s stories, signaling a liberating perspective change. Reflecting on her artistic journey, Griffin shares, The older you get, you just get sick of yourself staying stuck.�
With Crown of Roses, Griffin offers a record that™s both grounded and transcendent”one that invites listeners to release old narratives, embrace new truths, and stay truly alive while they™re here.
