Patty Griffin has a new song ‘Back At The Start’, signalling her upcoming 11th album ‘Crown of Horses’.
Patty says, “I came back to the song because I like that first line. Part of it is about getting on with it, but part is also about staying stuck and going through the motions. It’s really a constant thing to try to be alive while you’re alive.”

The album, due 25 July, 2025, features a “cameo” from her ex, Robert Plant, on the track ‘Longtime’. Patty and Robert lived together for a number of years before splitting in 2014. During the time she toured with his Band of Joy band and featured on his Band of Joy album (2010). Its good to see them still singing together on friendly terms.
Patty released her first album ‘Living With Ghosts’ in 1996. Griffin’s album Downtown Church won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Gospel Album and her 2019 self-titled album won the Grammy Award for Best Folk Album.
Crown of Roses Tracklist:
Back At The Start
Born In A Cage
