Recorded in just five days, Patty Griffin’s new album is trying to bring Gospel to the masses.
With gospel, folk and country singers ranging from the obscure to the famous, “Downtown Church” is a delicate but at times foot-stomping celebration of old-fashioned gospel — some of it straight out of the Sunday hymnal — as well as bluesy traditionals, two new songs by Ms. Griffin and one by Hank Williams at his most melancholy.
