Since the '80s, Patty Larkin has been one of the leading lights on the American Contemporary Folk scene, a gifted guitarist who is also an insightful songwriter and distinctive vocalist. Larkin's 11th studio album, Still Green, reveals she hasn't lost her touch, and features 12 new songs that feature her witty but heartfelt take on life, love, and the world in which we live, as well as Larkin's typically deft guitar work and sympathetic accompaniment from her studio band. Still Green also features guest appearances from Jonatha Brooke, Merrie Amsterburg, and the vocal group Birdsong at Morning. Selections include "Best of Intentions," "I Could Be Worse," "Nothing Else Really Matters," "So Cold," and eight others. ~ Mark Deming
