I will go to my deathbed saying: Nanci Griffith was/is one of the most under-rated, yet one of most influential, and uniquely great an artist, in both America and Europe, over the last 4 decades. 4 decades now since her first LP release. 4 decades of soothing, moving, angelic Music. Kudos to all of NG's work; over her lifetime, and for making my own life a bit gentler, and kinder ~!~
I lost it over this line from Gulf Coast Highway: "And when she dies she says she’ll catch some blackbird’s wing, and she will fly away to heaven" -- Fly away, Nanci, on that blackbird's wing. Rest in peace, sweet soul.
That Norway concert is one for the ages. Look for Tecumseh Valley from it. Riveting. Her catalog of work is exceptional. Always carefully arranged so that each song is in its own space. Please look for my ode to Nanci on UA-cam: Crystal Voice.
I don't see her uncork those pipes very often, mostly she sings soft and lets the mic do the work (like Roy Orbison). You can tell though, if she had to really let it out she would be amazing (not that she isn't already)
...where St. Olav's Gate means St. Olav's street,is spelled sankt Olavs gate and the e in gate is pronounced, just a stone throw away from Siljes gate...
At last!!! A clip with both Kennedys accompanying Nanci!!!

Still in shock of her passing, her voice has so much matured and simply loved it!
Always love this singer , what a voice.

Republicans co opted this song for the Gulf War and Bette Midler recorded it cutting out the last stanza that questions war.
Nice, but why was she trying to speak German in Norway?
Yeah, bad idea. I hope that somebody took her through the Norwegian Resistance Museum while she was in Oslo.
In those days the woke snowflakes, taking offence on behalf of other people who probably didn't care, didn't exist.
