Ever since I listened her 'Lone star state of mind' I became a Nanci Griffith fan and I am still there. Apart from being a fantastic song writer-singer, she was an excellent guitarist a fact often overlooked.
That was beautiful. Remembering her life helps with grieving her loss. From her song 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. Rest in peace, sweet soul.

I hadn't realized it, but when you mentioned about her boyfriend John who took her to the prom and then died in a motorcycle accident, I realized that her song "There's a Light Beyond These Woods" is about John and also her best friend, whom she also lost. The song takes on more meaning to me now.
Thank you. I didn’t realize she had passed like so many other great ones. I can only say that her voice was srill. But the Only srill voice that sounded like an Angel. I loved that she had no ego. She cared not what anyone saw in her. She Knew Who she was! She didn’t need anyone to validate her. Like I said, she Knew who she Was without anyones acceptance! What an angel
We should always remember Nanci. Her passing 8/13/2021. (Here PST) still a little less than one year ago. There is just something about Nanci which is special, loving, and different. So I encourage 'y'all to learn and listen a little bit from one of America and Texas super Ladies, Nanci Griffith!
I went to Nashville that September and I was so surprised no one I talked to new who she was or where was interned. Bet they knew in Ireland, her second home. God I miss her.
Thank you for this wonderful video. I had never heard of her until a friend posted a RIP note which included "Love at the Five and Dime" store. I have spent the last week seeking out and listening to her work. Do you know if there is anywhere a person can get a copy of her lyrics book? Her recordings are great but often they are unintelligible. Thanks for any help....
She was born in Seguin (pronounced suh-GEEN, not SEG-win) The folk festival is in Kerrville (pronounced CURR-vill, not CARE-vill), the the song is Late Night Grande (pronounced GRAND, not GRAND-AY....listen to the recording, please) Hotel.
@@CMSProductions It's also "grand," not "grande" hotel. Thanks for this beautiful tribute to one of my favorite artists of all time. She was a treasure!
@@dianaspain1135 Thanks for the correction. I am glad you enjoyed the video. I tried to do her justice. I hope to earn your subscription and if you have already subscribed I thank you for that also.
I knew Eric Taylor in the 70's when he was pining away for her. A stormy relationship. He was a pretty bad alcoholic, although a good songwriter in his own right. I thought she was a little too "precious", a bit too full of herself. But then I also thought Dylan was a bit pretentious. Show's how wrong I can be. (PS - the town in Texas is pronounced "suhgeen".) A great trubute to her. Thanks for posting.
I appreciate the correction on the pronunciation on her hometown. I apologies for the mispronunciation. I will try to do better in the future. I am glad that you enjoyed the posting.
