1000 Kisses by Patty Griffin
1000 Kisses is an album by Patty Griffin, released in 2002. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 23 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Rain”, on 12 lists with a best position of #25.
1000 Kisses, Patty Griffin's third studio album, arrived on ATO Records on April 9, 2002, and it's the sound of a songwriter pulling the curtains shut and letting the room go quiet. It follows Flaming Red with everything pared back to the frame: that voice, her guitar and piano, and the stripped-down folk writing that has since drawn covers from Emmylou Harris to the Chicks. "Rain" is the ache at its center, with "Making Pies" and "Long Ride Home" proving she can wreck you without ever raising her voice.
It was no blockbuster, stalling at 101 on the Billboard 200, but it topped the Top Heatseekers chart and had sold 151,000 copies in the US by May 2004. In 2009 Paste put it at number 15 on its list of the decade's 50 best albums.
