The thing of most note here is that I spent some finally getting to grips with Patty Griffin's Silver Bell album, a long-lost gap in her career that was released in 2013.
For some reason it takes me a long time to completely engage with new Patty Griffin albums, after the four or so that I was initially introduced to by an American friend. I think that this is partly due to not being convinced in some cases that they are genuine albums, as opposed to a series of (often quite magnificent) songs that happened to find themselves on the same disc.
Anyway, Silver Bell does play quite well as an album, though it will always be hampered slightly by the fact that a couple of songs ended up being re-housed in the 13 years between recording and release. It's worth having.
And... that's all I'm going to say. Efficiency is the key here as I try to catch up. Again. Sigh.
