I too discovered her in the 1990's had the privilege to meet her at the Bluebird Cafe before a show. It was an amazing experience. A poet's heart and soul speaking to the poet in me... I treasure that meeting and her collection of work.
There once was a show called American Music Shop, it ran on TNN when it had lot's of great music. The Texas Connection was a great show also...You can find some of the remnants here on You tube.
If there was a network of Music Across America that featured the sort of campfire harmony like this, it would be popular among those of us who don't like to watch people hunting crocodiles and snakes, or the Kardashians, or who is the next star.
discovered her by accident on you tube about 3 weeks ago and have been knocked out by her,not only a beutiful woman but a class act with with a voice to match.
I too discovered her in college in the 80's....she's been there for me during good times and bads...I would die to see her....and one day I will....She wrote Econoline just for me...I drive one ...live in Salt LAke city, and have and emotional troublesome husband...me and the kids sing that song hummin down the freeway in our ford econoline.
Proud to have met and followed her career in the 80s and 90s-Have all her albums on vinyl and all CDs M iss her playing at Anderson Fair here in Houson and the small joints in Austin
mnemonyxx, Jerry Douglas is playing the Dobro. He is arguably the best Dobro player in the world, and he has recorded with nearly everyone in the folk/country music scene.
I have been listening to Nancy Griffith fro about 13 years...and I am only 36! She is absolutely beautiful! Seen her many times and can always put her music in and get happy! Anyone just starting out..."flyer" would be my choice of cd. :)
no one get angry I have never heard of Nanci Griffin or Sharon White but boy I am sure glad I came along this sweet sound and of course I always love the music of Ricky Skaggs
I am stunned, as always, when I hear the true sounds of music...from heart and soul. A priceless treasure of talent and beauty. Thank you all so much.
Good news for all fans is the release of the DVD "Transatlantic Sessions: Series 3" bringing together the best of Nashville, Ireland and Scotland to perform what has been called "the greatest backporch shows ever".
All of the six half-hour programmes from the BBC/RTÉ TV series are included, recorded in a beautiful old converted farm steading in the Perthshire Highlands.

Sad state of affairs that a genius of a Nancy Griffith doesn't get the attention (views, comments...) as, say, a Britney Spears or Lil' whoever!!!
