Patty Griffin – Love Throws a Line

Biography
Old Town ME, United States (1964 – present)
She brought out her debut album Living With Ghosts—a set of demos featuring only Ms. Griffin and her guitar—to critical acclaim in 1996. Her sophomore album, Flaming Red, demonstrated a more rocking, full-band sound. The ill-fated Silver Bell album was never released by her record label, however, and the label terminated her recording contract shortly after that. Many of the songs from Silver Bell were re-recorded for subsequent albums.
After switching to ATO Records Griffin brought out 3 albums in rapid succession: 1000 Kisses and Impossible Dream, which were both nominated for Grammy awards, and A Kiss In Time, a well-received live album. In March 2007, she released Children Running Through to great critical acclaim.
She has penned a wide variety of songs - Long Ride Home, Top of the World, Tony, Forgiveness, Chief, Mad Mission—that touch her listeners deeply. A number of high profile artists have covered Patty’s songs, including the Dixie Chicks, Bette Midler, Emmylou Harris, The Wreckers, Solomon Burke and pop star Kelly Clarkson; these have brought her exposure in the more mainstream pop and country worlds outside of folk music circles. Upon hearing Solomon Burke’s cover of one of her tunes, she said she almost didn’t feel worthy of singing it anymore.
Following her collaboration with Mavis Staples on a tune for a compilation album Peter York, suggested Griffin make an album of gospel songs. Griffin agreed on the condition that Buddy Miller, a friend and bandmate, produced the record.

Right. Because doing collaborative projects means she's abandoned her solo career. It IS possible to do both, last time I checked.

^I think she should give up on The band of Joy and come back to her solo career. She deserves so much more than backing vocals.
