Glory hallelujah: preview Patty Griffin’s gospel record
Patty Griffin fans get fill a delightful hour inside, away from the heat, by clicking on this link, which not only has information on Griffin’s “Downtown Church” album, but contains several YouTube videos of Griffin performing gospel songs from the record.
Griffin got the idea to record an album of spiritual tunes in a downtown Nashville church (with Buddy Miller producing) after she sang a duet with Mavis Staples on “Waiting For My Child To Come Home” for the “Oh Happy Day” gospel compilation.
Although an incorrect Aug. 11 release date was posted on Amazon, “Downtown Church” is actually slated for an early 2010 release.
Griffin’s next Austin show is a Zilker Park fundraiser for State Senator Kirk Watson on Oct. 1, the day before ACL Fest starts.
