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.
Wonderful singers, great band, what a legacy Nanci left for us to still enjoy. Worth remastering. My favourite other's were Late night Grande hotel and Love at the5 and dime!!. Once heard, her crystal voice is never forgotten, loved by people who didn't follow country music. Thank you lovely Nanci.
Her version of "Once in a Very Blue Moon" is amazing, the one she did on Austin city Limits is great too but this version is fantastic. I love how her voice is soft and gentle, but at other times has this slap in it that wakes you right up. A really underrated, fine, fine singer.
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.
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.
Lloyd Green on Pedal Steel. Lloyd was phenomenal and played on thr Byrds Sweetheart of the Rodeo album amongst many others. (Wiki excerpt)-- Green, noted for his extensive country music recording session career in Nashville performing on 116 No.1 country hits including Tammy Wynette's “D-I-V-O-R-C-E” (1968), Charlie Rich's “Behind Closed Doors” (1973), The Oak Ridge Boys’ “Elvira” (1981), and Alan Jackson's “Remember When” (2004). Green was a one of an inner circle of elite recording studio musicians known colloquially as the Nashville A-Team. In a career beginning in the mid 1960s and spanning a quarter-century, Green performed on more than 5000 recordings helping to create hits for scores of artists such as Charley Pride, The Byrds, Johnny Cash, The Monkees, Don Williams, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, and many others. His 1968 performance on the Byrds' landmark album Sweetheart of the Rodeo, influenced generations of non-mainstream country guitarists.: 211 He was featured on Ken Burns' Country Music documentary film in 2019. Green was inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame in 1988.
From her New Country years 1985,1986,1987. I could see the start of a subtle mature and aging process. From a distance... first time hearing I called the local radio station in Austin and said this song was going to be a hit. Of course the gentleman wasn't as excited as I was.
