Thanks whitehorse. Yes Nanci Griffith is one of our favorite singers.
Nanci Griffith was born in 1953 and grew up in Austin. Her first album was published in 1978 : "There’s A Light Beyond These Woods". Perhaps her most famous song is "From A Distance," which had reached #1 in the U.K. and Ireland. She has been called "the Queen of Folkabilly,", although many also consider her as a country singer. She has written many many songs and published more than 20 albums. The one I like the best is 1993’s Other Voices, Other Rooms, won her the Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Performance. There was a LD with the same title, but DVD has not been released.
The Mercury has played many songs from Nanci, including "Gulf Coast Highway", "Once in a very blue moon", "From a distance", "I wish it would rain", "Can't help but wonder where I bound", "If I had a hammer", etc.
A highly recommended artist.
