I met recently this woman who tries to anyway, make a living as a NASCAR Britney Spears (corp safe disney soap selling type entertainment(?) promoter (super low brow) and thought about the millions like her who fight for their slice of airtimes ad their "media career" (puke) ..and why talents like Patty's get missed - I caught "Big Love" on the radio ONCE when it was first released but I didnt catch a name. "This was a love song written for my dog". ....
Patty is one of the greatest secrets in the songwriting community!! She's got such an amazing versatility in the songs she writes, and quite a few musicians from Emmylou Harris to Jeff Beck have covered her songs!
The first time I heard this ...I was touched by her angelic voice so much I bought the album "Children Running Through". Pure bliss ...& it seems effortless for her. Great post, thank you & many smiles!
It's surprising to see her perform; aside from the part that she's a near flawless performer, she's a lot more beautiful and looks 10 years younger than she does on the cover of this album. Although that picture is still breathtaking.
What? wrote it for her dog? sort of takes the shine of the song for me. I suppose dogs do smile. And come to think of it, they are nicer than a lot of people...

@4rainbowed I saw her perform at a small venue in Vancouver, BC and she explained the inspiration for this song just before she performed it. Written for her dog....how sweet is that?! i loved her already...but i fell a little further in that moment...

I just added her as a friend on the facebook, its awesome. You all need to do it if you are a Patty fan. You can keep up with all her latest stuff as she goes on tour.

Patty wastes no energy on needless riffs and vocal acrobatics. She simply drives the melody straight down the fairway and everything else falls beautifully into place.
I know the song is about her dog but its absolutely beautiful. it means so much to so many people. Its gotten me thru some bad days. Thanks patty. :)

Why the comment about Bonnie Raitt? Patty wrote this song for her dog... :)
Patty's live perfomrance is absolutely breathtaking. Few musicians have such effortless poise and her band is equally fantastic.
If you have a chance to see her play live, it is definitely worth the price of a ticket.
