She was, is, and will always be, an American songwriting treasure. Thanks for recognizing her in this way. - Ramcey
A wonderful tribute to Nanci. You didn't just hero worship her, she was truly loved by her fans.
True love far greater than hero worship.
This artist was so deserving of lifetime achievement award. She was was so ahead of her time and honest to a fault. What a gift!
She was an amazing talent, the 5 and dime was song one of my favorite songs. It reminded me of my childhood, what a story she wrote about life's experiences put to music and song. A gifted word smith in and lyrics and voice and she was also as cute as a bug to boot. 😍May God bless and keep her in his loving arms...
I love her so much. Wept openly when I heard the news of her passing. Such a light who could sing my heart and soul.
OMG ‼️❤️. Love Nanci always ❤
She was, and is one of my favorites❣️ I was so sad when I heard the news she had passed 💔
I did too!
At 67, I have been listening to Nanci since her beginning, and will surely listen to her for the rest of MY life. Love her and always have.
I saw her twice in concert. I’m a huge Nanci fan and I was heartbroken when I heard she passed away. She was phenomenal!!!!!
Austin resident! I can't stress how hard it was on this city when she died. You could hear many mourn as I walked UT the next day, imagining her earliest days on that campus and later a memorial for her at Hole in the Wall, where she held many an audience in the palm of her hand.
I always think how lucky the small crowd of folks were at that outdoor shindig in Austin where she sang with Lyle Lovett which is found elsewhere on TH-cam.
@@markw4206 I believe the video you’re referring to was recorded just outside of Houston, which is where Lyle Lovett is from.
She was loved in many places far from Austin!
Her music has even found his way up here in Winnipeg!
You guys should be proud of her!
Thank you Austin
Large Statue 🗽....
Are you saying there l is a statue of her or that there ought to be a statue of her?
If there is a statue please post it!!
Phil from Winnipeg
Hard to think of anyone more deserving of this award. Her songs are so precious to so many, myself included. She deserves to be up there with the greatest of the great American songwriters.
This is so *beautifully* Nanci ❤️ This woman, and her music, earned me lifelong friendships, ethereal moments between like-hearted strangers, and every type of human interaction in-between…from the Grand Canyon, to Killarney, Ireland…..photo shoots with my baby nieces in fields of sunshine & Texas Bluebonnets, in San Angelo…their first lullabies were her words…to strangers on a train in London, and also Chicago…dark nights in hidden rooms beneath the streets of Boston with a stage & a prolific history. Her lyrics are hidden in everything from the names of drinks on the bar menu of my first restaurant on Cape Cod, to the title of my Master’s Thesis, the names of my cats, and on my mom’s grave: “These days your face, in my memory…is in the folded hands of grace against these times.”
Nanci Griffith may have deserved a hell of a lot more recognition than she ever received…but from those of us who were once touched by her music, then forever accompanied by her lyrics, she will always be rewarded by the kind of love & devotion reserved for the truly special souls who walk amongst us, tattooed across our scars like a secret map. That’s the best kind of fame, I think. It’s the kind that matters most.
I was hoping to never have to know what a world without Nanci Griffith in it looks & feels like; but grateful to have her music when I need a reminder. She’s somewhere sipping whiskey with Odetta, John Prine, Patsy Cline, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Townes Van Zandt, Elijah Cummings, Carson McCullers, and God willing…John. ❤️
Nanci was/is an American Treasure…Her Sweetness and Kindness in her personality and her songs will live on forever…her music is timeless…She was such a beautiful person…Her album “Other Voices, Other Rooms” is a folk singer masterpiece…she pays homage to all the singer-songwriters that influenced her life…I will always love Nanci…RIP
She was beautiful, I miss her so much. Thank god for the catalogue of music she left for us.
I was a late bloomer to Nanci's music but, oh my what an artist, oh my what a person! Held so highly among her friends fans and peers.
Oh, I still love Nanci and all her songs. ❤ I will listen all my life.
Nanci’s songs were the music of my young life. I only have to hear her voice and I’m there again. Great tribute,thanks.
What a treasure she is. I love her music. I about wore out my Other Voices, Other Rooms cd. It’s still one of my all time favorites. I hope she’s partying with Pete, Odetta, Kate and all the other greats who went before her.
Agreed - this album was my introduction to her music - a great gateway album
As time goes by, she will be even more well known bc she was a true talent.
As an artist who's work literally saved my life, she is loved by myself and my family. When I have told folks this from time to time, they give me that look that they think I'm a bit ridiculous, but when I put on her records, they, almost to a person, begin to understand what I mean when I tell them how important her music is to me. And how important it has been in the past, and how important it will always be.
Beautiful comment. Truly.
I remember when Nancy first started and I would listen over and over to her down the hill across the stream voice. She could sing crickets and fire flies to sleep.
I’m sorry I never got to see her in concert.
I grew up listening to Emmy Lou but completely missed out on Nanci until recently. I think there will be many people like me who once discover what a talent she was
will be saddened that she is gone. I cherish my CDs of hers. Thank you Nanci.
Many years ago I went to see Nanci in the UK with some friends. I wasn't into country and western, but I'd heard Storms and thought it was a great album. Anyway, she touched my heart. Not the music or the lyrics, but her, her personality. A beautiful soul.
Nanci wrote and so many beautiful songs. She also is responsible for giving artists exposure that may never been heard otherwise
My mother cried deeply when Nanci passed. My mother recently passed and I cry when I listen to Nanci,s music....but not tears of sadness.
In the early 90s my wife introduced me to her music As a blues rock musician I loved her sound. Every chance when Nanci toured Northern California we would go see her.
Many critics were outright harsh and mean to her. When I noticed her website come to a standstill in 2912, I knew something was wrong. Then the bad news.
I miss her voice, her songwriting and her guitar playing. A HUGE loss for us all! ❤❤❤
Thanks for this wonderful tribute to an amazing lady. We will miss her. RIP Nancy.
This is a lovely Tribute we grew up listening to Nancy Griffith on Ireland at all our family get togethers as a child I can still hear her music and my aunt's singing along to it.. she was a true talented star and still is to this day ✴️ xx
Thank goodness for this honor for Nanci. Thank you for putting this together and sharing it.
I will forever cherish Nanci’s voice, musicality, and spicy, gentle take on life. Godspeed, Miss Nanci 💜🇺🇸
Superb singer/songwriter who I have been listening to for 40 years and will listen to all my life. Her ability to write serious songs, sad songs and happy songs was astounding. I was lucky to see her live in concert.
I only came to know of Nanci a couple of months after her death . Considering my lifetime love of music by John Prine, Guy Clark, Emmylou Harris, Robert Earl Keen and the like how is that even possible. Wonderfully talented singer songwriter.
Nanci was just one of a kind, a very talented singer , songwriter with a gift to tell a story and hold you captivated in that. Her songs and voice are a part of my life and are a source of comfort and joy always. Glad to have seen her in concert. A treasure we should not forget. I won't ❤️
I got my first albums of hers in my early 20's when I just started collecting music. Some of her songs make me cry, they're so poignant and melancholy. I was shocked when I read she died at 68, way too young. To me she's a great, underappreciated talent that deserves to be heard by a wider audience.
I saw her multiple times thru the 70's and 80s what an original and she's an Austin girl still get chills listening to her much love Sweet Nancy
May she restbin peace.
Great girl, Trouble In The Fields makes me cry , every time . Miss her a lot !❤
I wasn't aware that Nanci had received this award in 2008. Brava. As for now (2022), I feel as though her drumbeat is only beginning.
She is one of my two music crushes. She and Laura Nyro, were perfect women, and now, perfect souls.
Right on!!! Thank you for honoring a brilliant artist-a TRULY GREAT songwriter and singer-and a beautiful human being.
What a lovely tribute to a great artist!
Still hits me hard when I heard she died. Always believed she deserved more praise for her tender stories. Hope she knew how much she meant to her fans.
Waiting for love sums Nanci for me i regret never had the honour to see her live let alone meet her to me her warmth shone through in her music and performances the world was truly a better place for her passing
I will listen to Nanci for the rest of my days. She was one of a kind & I love to sing along with her, when I'm driving ❤️
Roseann Cash, you’re doing a wonderful job of narrating this about Nanci Griffith.
Beautifully created tribute. Thank you for sharing it widely.
This makes me cry. I'm so glad I came across her Other Voices/Other Rooms tape cassette a long time ago. In the liner notes she said she chose those songs to acquaint younger people with folk songs that might otherwise be forgotten. Plus, I get to hear Odetta. Thank you so much for this video of her life.
A Texas legend.
Wonderful tribute to one of the heart beat leaders of our times.. Thanks Nancy! Miss you.
Nancy Griffith was a fantastic artist, songwriter and singer. She played in the west of Ireland many times. I had the good sense to go to her concerts late 80s/early 90s. Loved her storytelling of her songs. Loved her music then and love it now...❤ Nanci will always remain in my playlist.
We will always love you Nanci Griffith
Fly high Nanci, you were the true believer, missed in the hills of Donegal, 🇮🇪🍀🇺🇸💚🇮🇪☘️🇺🇸🇮🇪
Thank you. Long live the music, integrity, talent and brightness of Nanci Griffith.
A wondrous and magical voice. A writer and singer of legend.
A lovely tribute. Her music is a treasure.
Lovely to hear more about Nanci Griffith. What a wonderful singer and song writer!
Started listening as a kid when i 'discovered' Nanci on an "Austin City Limits" in the 80's. I sometimes go astray from her music but I've always come back and always will. She is sorely missed.
A superb tribute to a beautifully talented musician - I miss her and her music - RIP Nanci from a UK fan and believer!
I met her at the old Mueller airport in 1984. I didn't know who she was and she was just a sweet Texas girl to me. I didn't get her name or phone number but the next year I saw her on ACL TV and recognized her immediately!!!! I was ecstatic that's the girl with a guitar from the airport and she's made it to the big time!!!! Instead of just being a fan I was very proud of her and her accomplishments. She had more talent than anyone I had ever met. She was truly brilliant.
5 Minutes.
Soooo great.
Never forget her Valentine concert at Texas Cafe at UT. Her father even sang with his barbershop quartet.
no words to express my love and admiration for Nanci and her music, and by the way this short documentary was well put together not to mention the narrator, great job Ros!.
The greatest female singer/songwriter of all time!
Southwestern Pennsylvania here. 2024, still a fan.
Great artist. She left us too soon.
Every once in awhile we are visited by a beautiful smile O the agonizing loneliness when the smile departs....
She was a credit to her gender and bright room for wayfaring strangers like me...
Sleep well, Nancy
Nanci's music is everlasting. Miss her, but thinking about the impact she had on my life through her gift brings warm memories of listening, and singing along to her vast library. I smile just thinking about her.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! The ONLY commemoration worth watching!!!
One issue and it's a glaring mistake they all make.
Everybody omits mention of Glen Campbell's GENIUS version of "The Last Time I Saw Her".
Thank-You for this beautiful tribute. Nanci was truly inspirational. She was such a Giving Spirit, introducing her fans to musicians they may have never known. I believe she made the performers around her better. She never sacrificed a bit of integrity in order to further sales. Such a positive role model RIP, Angel
As a longtime adoring fan of Ms. Griffith's, I appreciated this mini-documentary. And wow, were those real clips of family home movies from her childhood? Wild to see her strolling round her yard with guitar in hand. Thanks!
Was wondering the same thing!
Beautiful tribute, as a Brit her early work had somehow passed me by. 'Other rooms' was the first album that I heard and I can understand how it was rated so highly. Memorably, I saw her in London. It might have been her last tour.
I just love her!
One of the BEST !!!!!! Nancy is singing in Heaven.❤❤❤❤❤
Discovered Nanci in the early '80s when she performed regularly at the U. Texas Cactus Cafe, and then the much larger Texas Ballroom, because everyone who saw her spread the word. Saw her at least a couple dozen times, and she was transcendent each and every time.
Lovely tribute to a unique artist. Saw her twice here in Ireland. Great stage performance. Very intellectual woman.
I will miss her forever. She was my late husband’s and my most beloved artist.
Having trouble with the word "was" I loved her a lot.
What an amazing lady. RIP Nanci
What a wonderful tribute! She was quite ahead of her time, and such a shame she's no longer here. I saw her over 20 years ago with Steve Earl, Patti Smith, Jackson Brown and Emmylou Harris. Oddly, I went to the show to see Nanci bc I was obsessing over her and the others were a bonus.
So prophetic to see her in angel's wings as the camera fades out.
We hear! ❤️❤️❤️
Nancy Griffith will always be my favorite!
We love and miss you, Nanci.
thank you rose, i knew it was you as soon as i heard you... nanci was amazing.. im thankful i got to see her as much as i did in my years at the birchmere.. fond memories..
Beautiful singer 😊
Just love her and discovering her great body of work.
Agreed. She was magical and compassionate
Damn. She was the best.
What an incredible talent!!
I am blessed... I saw Nanci in concert in London. ❤
just in time....RIP, Nanci
Very well done! Thank you! Guitar slinging, singing song writer!❤🙏❤
Much love for Nanci every day. Please find the amateur video on TH-cam called Crystal Voice for an ode to her from a regular guy.
Great commentary. She was such a lovely person. Saw her in Knoxville with the crickets in the 90s. Lovely person.
Met her in a little bar in Houston Heights one block from my house.Loved her right off the bat
❤❤❤❤❤
A very well done tribute to Nancy ❤
I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe. I've never heard of her in my life.
A star in the heavens. God Bless.
Just a lovely human being.
Thank you for POSTING....🕊️
Thank You!
A dedicated artist with high standards and a giant among her peers.
Amazing 😢
