One word describes the CD Impossible Dream from Patty Griffin… AWESOME!
Impossible Dream launches with an outstanding track, Love Throw A Line, that I anticipate will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It’s a really nice track.
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.
Overall Impossible Dream 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 the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 – Cold As It Gets, track 8 – When It Don’t Come Easy, and gt3
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Love Throw A Line. Wow!
