Patty Griffin - Shells

[maszlagma]

Wow, beautiful! So this is about a mother who lost her child at a war if I gather it right... I hope this video stays on Youtube forever because I'm sure there's no other place to find it. Did you record it yourself?

The little crack in her voice at about 2:23 is beautiful and basically sells the whole thing for me.

was waiting for the audience response at the end though and it cut off....

Thanks for posting this. :)

Reminds me of a certain early Joni Mitchell folk-rock song, "...took my baby away from me".. thanks for posting this, since the record company was stupid enough to drop Patty back then.

THANK YOU! Awesome to hear.

an exquisite glimpse into a moment of time in the legacy of the most significant and under appreciated singer songwriter of the late twentieth century. today the audience would not be murmuring in private conversation, but rapt and ebullient in appreciation.
