Indeed. Ralph Emery (the host) was a notorious chauvinist and perv in Nashville. He represented everything wrong with Nashville (and still does). I cringed when I noticed he was going to interview Nanci. Ralph did a notorious interview in the early 90's with the singer/songwriter Suzy Bogguss where he didn't mention her music at all and just commented on how he appreciated that she "dressed like a woman" with her short skirts and that he could see why Chet Atkins wanted to work with her. It was disgusting. But that was Ralph. There was also the story of when Gram Parsons nearly punched him in the mouth.
“Did you ever get caught up in that Austin country music movement?” What a dopey question to ask a country music artist from Austin. “Yeah, I was ensnared in it before I knew any better. But I managed to escape that loser scene to the big time in Nashville where I get to be interviewed by class acts like you. Could we talk some more about my anklets?”
Love Nanci's music still...Only saw her live once, many years ago...outdoor event on a very hot and humid day and she gave her crew hell from the stage because her guitar had gone a little out of tune (guitar sitting out on stage waiting on her to actually get out on that stage on that HOT and HUMID day)...too bad she didn't have the basic skill of tweaking the tuning on her guitar while she made some comments...then she proceeded to bitch about the presence of local law enforcement that was there to ensure her safety...very beautiful woman and outstanding performer but didn't seem so beautiful on the inside....maybe she was just having a bad day, but with her display of unsavory behavior from the stage I never paid to go see her perform again.
Wow, I hope after you have done a million amazing things which I'm sure you're going to do in your lifetime, and you're dead, someone will come out and produce a Litany of stuff that I see no one out here corroborating, about you. Wow. Hope your life gets better.
I miss her being in the world. Her smile was so contagious and her voice sweet as honey. My favorite album was Dust Bowl Symphony. The Wing and the Wheel makes me think of her smile and then I smile but it's a bittersweet smile. The world lost a passle if innocence when we lost this fine lady.
Wow. I cringed at Ralph Emory's questions which seemed to focus on how "different" Nanci was from the Nashville norm. I mean, Anklets! The indignity! Ralph just couldn't really understand why she was even on the show. I mean, she plays Folk Music! My god. Of course, Ralph being the idiot he was, was blissfully disparaging the music from which country music was born. I am a life long country fan, excluding the schlock that gets labeled country whenever there is a buck to be made using that label. Don't get me started. It's fitting that Nanci will be remembered as a premier artist, with a staggering catalog and generations of ardent followers, both fans and musicians. While Ralph will be remembered, if he is remembered at all, as a second rate talk show host with a long track record of mediocrity.
Thank you for sharing! It seems this show was recorded shortly before Nanci started using the term 'folkabilly' to describe her music. The performances of both songs are typically terrific!
I'm not a big fan of the interviewers questions either...questions about hair and attire would not be asked of a man, and have NO PLACE on a music show, the questions asked were very sexist, treating Nanci as an oddity.
And immediately commenting on her appearance by comparing her looks to another female artist to the male guest 🤦🏼♀️ although thankfully his response was great, he recognised Nanci as a unique musician with her own sound.
I was fortunate enough to see her once in concert in a small theater. Great singer, songwriter and storyteller. I dont think she ever got the recognition she truly deserved. She is gone waaay too soon. Thank you Nanci for sharing your gifts with the world.
Boy. That host is from another time and another way of life. Never says a thing about that great song she and her band just played.

I think the host considered himself the star.
a scumbag
Nanci was the real deal. Was privileged to see her perform in London, England a couple of times.
First time I’ve seen this one. So young
Her and Emmy Lou Harris. Simply the best.
This is the year that I met Nanci at the Strawberry bluegrass festival got to shake her hand and she signed my copy of the last of the true believers
Bless you , Nanci.
Nanci was and is a pure angel. Loved her music.
There are no words for how much I love this woman.
I only miss her once in a very blue moon.🙁
I'm glad I saw Nanci several times in California around this time. Strawberry Camp Mather!

Sweet heart.
WOW
Thanks so much for this!
You're welcome! I have lots more Nanci rarities to share so keep your eyes peeled 👁️👄👁️ 😉
Am I the only one who finds the interviewer to be a bit creepy here? Not a fan of his questions.
Definitely agree! She handles him with grace.
Definitely, but Nanci does handle him well.
I started the video and immediately thought “Ugh! This guy again?!?”
@@japark85 he was insufferable!
I’ve always thought he was creepy…just a little too personal sometimes
Is that Thumbs Carlyle on the guitar seated?
Ralph was always a condescending person.
The late great Ralph Emory was very full of himself. He made that whole interview very awkward.
Drug Store Trucking Man
Ralph was cringe lord.
Emory was a rude punk

Nanci was incredible RIP beautiful woman , but what a terrible interview ! He was rude and condescending .

Glad you enjoyed! Plan to upload some more Nanci rarities soon.
Just a doll with the voice of an angel. What a talent she was.
RIP Nancy. Love you!
Such a sweetheart and man can she play that guitar
Yes,..fully agree, her guitar work is so underrated in my view, she really was just fantastic, true skill.

"You spell your name N-A-N-C-I' 🤡 what an asinine and patronising question. Why not ask her about her musical inspirations instead?
I was fortunate enough to see her once in concert in a small theater. Great singer, songwriter and storyteller. I dont think she ever got the recognition she truly deserved. She is gone waaay too soon. Thank you Nanci for sharing your gifts with the world.
what a creep
He’s absolutely creepy
I have questions about "the questions"
So sad she is gone:-(
But her music is eternal.
This is so beautiful. I mean the performance and her ... not the interview. Thanks for posting.
I know. The interviewer had a thing about her socks. Creepy.
Lovely Nanci.
Angel.
She still had quite a Texas twang!
