Silver Bell

Patty Griffin's much sought after Silver Bell is finally getting its official release. Silver Bell would have been Griffin's third album. It was recorded in 2000 but went unreleased by A&M Records. Despite its years of limbo the album spawned two huge hits for the Dixie Chicks, who covered both 'Top Of The World' and 'Truth #2' for their 2002 Home album. Newly mixed by legendary producer Glyn Johns, Silver Bell includes 14 original songs that were recorded back in 2000 at Daniel Lanois' Kingsway Studio in New Orleans. Emmylou Harris sings harmony on 'Truth #2.' Griffin's latest album, American Kid, was released in May.
