    PASSING OF A LEGEND
    The great, beautiful soul that was Nanci Griffith has flown into the eternal. I fell in love with her when I first saw this video back in 1987. I loved the fragile grace of her voice. I have loved her music ever since.
    Like many artists, I didn't share her political views (she was very left wing), but she was passionate and articulate with her beliefs. I have no problem with someone's political views (right or left) if they ground them in philosophy, ethics and faith.
    She was incensed at those who would take advantage of others -- regardless of the reason. She was sometimes filled with righteous anger and still her grace and love for her fellow man bled through in her face and in her words.
    Rest in peace Ms. Griffith. your music, your spirit will be missed. And yes, there IS a light beyond these woods Ms. Griffith.

    Nanci Griffith has been keeping me sane since...forever. In chemotherapy a quarter century ago, her music lulled me to sleep every night (on a disc-man--remember those?) in the hospital. When I got home, as the months of chemo ground on, preparing to go to her concert (at Wolf Trap, Virginia) kept me moving ahead. And I went to that concert. I was so thankful to be there (with my boyfriend -- he is my husband now), that I sat in my seat, and wept. Tears of gratitude and joy. Thanks for posting--this is one of my very favorites.

But now as an adult, I relate to every word of this song on such a deep level. I can't listen without crying. And now, I see this as her best song.

We got as far as Bakersfield. After 20 hrs of driving we had to take a break. It was 1am and it seemed like the warm August breeze off the desert was carrying the song and Nanci Griffith the tune. That was the moment I became a songwriter. Thanks for 23 years of inspiration Nanci!

    I'm 37, so I'm still part of a generation that appreciates real music. Though this artist was way before my time, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to her while I was flipping through the channels and I ended up on a local PBS type channel broadcasted to Brooklyn New York. The channel had a similar look to channel 13's broadcast. The name of the show was, "Music City Roots!" I believe they were playing out of Nashville Tennessee that night at a cafe / bar / Club called the Loveless Cafe. If you have a moment, Google the show on TH-cam and you will see tons and tons of artists you are most likely not familiar with. The music leans towards indie-country and indie Bluegrass and a traditional sound as well. Many artist sounds a little bit like Alison Krauss, but each one has their own definitive and unique look. I have absolutely fallen in love with her songs! I'm so glad I stumbled upon her you older guys we're fortunate enough to experience the real deal music era. I only caught it on the tail end and I enjoyed it! Have a great day and please comment if you've seen the show, #musiccityroots . Her other grade song is called, on the radio! The only version of it though that I like from her is the one that is on Music City Roots but of course that is subjective so please check all variations out. Have a great day. Dave.

    Don't feel bad, John. I was brought upright by a souvenir seller in Bar Harbor about 20 years ago who, when I asked, "who's that on the in-house?" She answered with a sneer Nanci Griffith of course. I bought whatever she had on hand and have never looked back. She rarely tours in our area but I was able to catch her on the Vietnam LP tour in South Fl - I'm a vet and it meant a lot to me.

    I'm a fan of Dylan's lyrics, and this is my favorite song by him. She covers it with grace. Just, wow.

      U said exactly how I felt..what a darling little face and such innocence to her tone..I've learned to play the fingerpicking.. It's the very same as " Girl from the North Country" only latter is played a bit faster..Viva Dylan!....it would be great to hear what Dylan thinks of her interpretation. But something tells me he ain't sayin'....I love much of his lyrics and instrumental work, but that privacy stuff seems like a " man of mystery " affectation. ( I hate that term " cover" what the hell does that mean anyway?" No offence to you..it seems its just a word not quite as true as " interpretation, " )

    Nanci was so much underrated in her own country but was overwhelmed with hit and appreciation on the other side of the Atlantic....Ireland was her niche to which she had similar culture.
    Your fans all over miss you Nanci, I am certain you are hearing and seeing it through the ears of your soul. Buddhism describes a deceased soul to wandering around for for seven days before flying to another heaven.
