Patty GriffinCrown of Roses

Eight tracks emerging from a six-year hiatus and creative drought during the pandemic. Deeply personal, shaped by her relationship with her late mother. The album cover features her mother's wedding photo. 'Born in a Cage' blends folk with gospel blues undertones. Robert Plant contributes a vocal cameo. Griffin's voice is softer and more intimate post-cancer treatment, and she embraces the changed instrument. Sparse, rich, and emotionally earned.
