Maine was one of the hardest states for me to do. Not a lot of nationally famous musicians have come from Maine.
Patty Griffin is the anomaly - hailing from Old Town, ME - who has made a name for herself as an excellent folk and gospel singer. This song is from her 2010 Grammy Award-winning album Downtown Church, and it was literally recorded in a downtown Nashville church. Written by Griffin, it is an absolutely beautiful song, and no, you don't have to be a believer to believe this song is excellent.
Despite not being the most popular artist, Griffin is held in high regard and is seen as influential. Here she is on Austin City Limits performing this song with the legendary Emmylou Harris.
