Rising star-- get on board now before he gets really big!

Great CD! Every song is really good. Nice bookend to the "Lost & Found" CD. Caught him (& Sons of William) in Athens, GA... great show! And, he's also a really nice guy. Good to see a good guy rising up the ladder & seemingly on the verge of making it big. He said he may be on Letterman on May 19-- so catch him live. Best of luck, Griffin!

Great new music!

Just happened to see Griffin House in concert yesterday, touring with Sons of William (more great music!). A fine evening of music! Flying Upside Down is an excellent CD. Griffin seems like a very likeable guy. I wish him continued success and look forward to new releases and tours. If you are unsure, go to his website and listen.

Ended up buying more CDs after this one

Definitely a laid back mood and initially reminded me of Jack Johnson but as you dig deeper GF feels a lot more serious and more like a stroy teller. "Better than Love", "I remember" are defninitely a must. "I remember" reminds me of Johnny Cash for some reason. "The Guy That Says Goodbye.." is also great but you can also find it on the "Homecoming" album. I would recommend getting the whole album and also picking up "Lost & Found" album too.

Watch out, John Mayer?

Sane women go crazy for John Mayer. I don't get it, but rather than argue with them, I went looking for a replacement. And Griffin House just might be the next one who can make women swoon. He's regulation cute: mid-20s, bedhead hair, clothes by Goodwill. In these songs, he's a gent --- the one who will be always been true, who gets you home safe, who tells you that any guy who doesn't love you is a damn fool. And he does all this with music that's Tom Petty Lite --- crisp hooks and memorable melodies, matched by a voice that's just plain good company. Key fact: At the club date I went to, most of the young women already knew the words.

First CD I have bought in two years

2008-05-11
I heard Griffin House for the first time this past April when he appeared on NPR, shortly before the release of this album. They played a few of the tracks, and I just had to stop everything I was doing to listen. It has been years since a new release has done this for me. For the last two years I have just bought songs on I-tunes but never a whole CD. The track Its Happening Again is profound, hart hitting folk, that would make Bob Dylan or Phil Ochs proud. When I try to describe Griffin House to friends I tell them his sound is 60% Dylan, 20% Bono, with a pinch or Springstien, Harrison, and Van Morrison. Griffin House writes deep, colorful, insigtful lyrics mostly about relationships be they with woman, friends, or family. The acoustic guitar and vocals are superb. This one will wow you and remind people of the bygone era when musicians were artists who made music instead of a seeming endless chain of contrieved, cookie-cutter, teen star pop crap.
