The Place For Emerging Women In Music
One of Music Connection's Best Websites of 2002!

Patty Larkin has been around a while. Which is not to suggest her sound is outdated. Quite the contrary. Sure, she is considered a folk artist, but "24/7/365" is alternative to the point of being borderline rap.
Fans of Ferron will see an obvious similarity in styles. "The Crane" is unrushed, dark and sparse but powerful. "The Children" is a good tune to skip down the lane to, and "Home" is a more typical example of gentle folk to prove she's still in that genre.
"Different World" may be the hit single from this album -- radio-ready rock-and-roll Janis Ian-style with lots of diversity of mood and tempo. "Normal" is anything but… dirge-like and strange, haunting, with images of depression and despair.
The title track is a short whisper of acoustic guitar with Celtic-sounding vocals in the background. More Celtic influence is heard in the fiddling in the final song, "Louder," which goes surprisingly well with an African thumb piano and Asian strings. This is Patty Larkin's version of world music!
