Patty Griffin - Crown Of Roses

Limited turquoise colored vinyl LP pressing. Patty Griffin's 2025 album, Crown of Roses, is a deeply personal and introspective work that explores themes of identity, nature, family, and womanhood. Emerging from a creative drought during the pandemic, Griffin-two-time Grammy winner and Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement honoree-found herself reevaluating the stories she'd long told herself. The result is an eight-track collection that is both sparse and emotionally rich, blending folk, Americana, and gospel blues. Produced by long-time collaborator Craig Ross, the album features contributions from trusted bandmates David Pulkingham and Michael Longoria, and a haunting vocal cameo from Robert Plant. Griffin's vocal approach changed after cancer treatment, leading her to embrace a softer, more intimate style that reflects the vulnerability and strength woven through the songs. With Crown of Roses, Griffin offers a record that's both grounded and transcendent-one that invites listeners to release old narratives, embrace new truths, and stay truly alive while they're here.
