    This was my intro to Nanci many years ago. She was AWESOME live. Tonight she sings again with Prine and Van Zant.

    I saw her in Salt Lake City. What a great show. My friend Gordon kept shouting, "From a distance! From a distance!" and she said "I usually play that with my band, but..." and she played it for him. I'd never heard of it before. Great moment.

    My goodness....when she opens those big brown eyes and smiles like she's having so much fun, it melts my heart. You may been Nobody's Angel at some point in your life (hard for me to believe), but you're with the angels now.

    This is one of her best. When she sings "Gulf Coast Highway," it touches my soul. I've been in love with her talent, beauty and choice of songs for a long time.

    Spent a magical evening many years ago at the old Backstage in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. Nanci did a fabulous set, and it was followed up by a surprise impromptu set by Nancy Wilson (of Heart) and a combo doing some new material. Miss those days.

    This is some of the finest old school Country Music that too few ever
    heard. Nancy has talent to rival any of her heroes and mentors. Nancy,
    we would all love to hear your voice again!! Your music has walked
    beside me for 50 years. I want to thank you for that!

  • @FrancoS59
    @FrancoS59 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Oh Nanci is extraordinary, I love her so much!
    She knows how to create a world of images and scenes of life in just a few lines, entering with force on real life issues and problems of people, women, families.
    And how she uses her voice, here with tones that are not too frequent in her songs, which it seems to hear screech the tires!

  • @eekowarrior4409
    @eekowarrior4409 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wow! First hears this as a country-music-sceptical young man. Helped to persuade me that there was more to country than schmaltz, and I have been re-payed for that realization may times over. Lovely to hear again as a wiser old(er) man. RIP Nanci.

  • @andrewz4537

    A great version of a fine Nanci tune which is about Rosalie Sorrels I believe, an inspiration for Nanci.

    This was the point that I first heard Nanci Griffith and the records she made in Nashville around this time were just amazing, I can still hear Lloyd Green's pedal steel licks every time I hear a song title from those albums. Philip Donnely's unique lead guitar licks are also outstanding.

    Superb, been a fan since I heard tracks played from the newly released Lone Star State Of Mind on the radio, criminally neglected at the time in the UK.

    One of the best singer songwriters of our era. Very underrated and never got the recognition she deserved here in the UK. Hauntingly beautiful voice, meaningful words
    we can all relate to & not a bad looker in her day either. Lyrical genius of Kirsty MacColl with a voice to match Linda Meeks of Fivepenny Piece. In anybodys book that some combination!

    This gal never got the recognition and fame she should have? Why? Because she was herself. She did what she wanted. She had her own sound. She was what they call original. How in the hell can one get ahead in Nashville being NOT like the rest of the music machine shitheads?

      @janetaldrich7747 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't have anything against her musically. But she decided that she didn't like Ashley MacIsaac and demanded that the Chieftains release him from the tour because (IIRC) "he really didn't fit HER audience" (silly me, when I went to see them, I went to see the Chieftains ... but that's just me). When they didn't agree with her, she left the tour. Later, she claimed it was because she wasn't getting enough stage time, but either way, IMHO, it was ungracious.
