Our Take

Patty Griffin's "American Kid" is a whimsical journey through the tangled web of Americana folklore, delivered with a twangy twirl and a mischievous wink. Griffin's ethereal voice floats through the tracks like a mythical creature dancing on clouds, leaving trails of glitter in its wake. The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Go Wherever You Wanna Go," a toe-tapping ode to wandering souls and free spirits. Griffin's lyrics are poetic and poignant, weaving tales of love, loss, and redemption with a sly sense of humour that keeps listeners on their toes. Tracks like "Don't Let Me Die in Florida" and "Wild Old Dog" showcase Griffin's unparalleled storytelling abilities, painting vivid pictures of ordinary lives lived with extraordinary depth and emotion. The instrumentation is nothing short of spellbinding, with banjos, fiddles, and mandolins pirouetting around each other in a whimsical dance. But it's on songs like "Highway Song" and "Faithful Son" where Griffin truly shines, her voice soaring through the air like a bird of prey hunting for its next meal. The raw emotion in her delivery is palpable, tugging at heartstrings and stirring up that familiar ache of longing for something just out of reach. "American Kid" is a testament to Griffin's prowess as a masterful storyteller and one of the unsung heroes of Americana music. It's a whimsical, poignant masterpiece that deserves a spot in every music lover's collection.
