"One Big Love" turns up on Flaming Red, Patty Griffin's second album, released June 23, 1998, the record where she plugged in and brought a full band into the studio. Griffin has said she always heard herself as a rock singer and wanted nothing to do with the folksinger tag, and the album was her making that case out loud; reviewers reached for words like rock-centric and incendiary.
She wrote the song with Angelo Petraglia, who produced it, while Jay Joyce came in for additional production and Tom Lord-Alge did the mix. The title promises something big-hearted and wide open, and it sits on a record built on the belief that her voice belonged in front of the amplifiers.
