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.
There is so much love and passion for Nanci in that you had wrote, your sentence what I feel the same ... your sentence "I would die to see her" needs no comment and it struck me .. then you succeeded to see Nanci?
Have always loved Transaatlantic Sessions, and this one has "Always Stood Me Still" in my tracks, and I think "it always will". May the voice of all those artists Nanci Griffith has worked with over her near 55 years sing 'her home'. May we continue to appreciate music, compositions, musicians, singers and songwriters while they are here, and well into their 'crossing over' if such truly exists.
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. :)
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.
It’s remarkable that Nanci was so frequently accompanied by expert sound engineers. There are dozens of excellent recordings of her live music. May they always remain accessible to us here. Words cannot capture what it means to have them. Besides flawless performances and high-quality stereo, there’s that face. That heavenly face. I’m doomed.
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.
Always will by Nanci Griffith I saw you on the avenue You looked so tired and a little blue You were in your Sunday best Your father's tie upon your chest Hey, you always stood me still Hey, you always will In the corridor of one hotel We once crossed paths I recall it well Voices in an empty hall Slamming doors to hearts that fall Hey, you always stood me still Hey, you always will Always will Always will Hey Always will Always will Hey Love has been my passer by I stood too still to catch your eye But there out on the avenue In your father's tie I'll remember you Hey, you always stood me still Hey, you always will Hey, you always stood me still Hey, you always will Hey, you always will
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.
Always loved this one. And guess what, I always will! From my favourite album of all time too. Takes me back over 20 years and brings to mind a woman called Deborah.......
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.
