Sad News-- Nancy Griffith Has Passed

Wow, very sad news indeed. Have a couple of her albums on CD. Will have to take them for a spin soon in memory.

Great and very unique voice. RIP.

Another one from the same show...

Nanci was always in my rotation back in the 90s. I still enjoy her sweet songs. Not only did she write good, relatable songs, she turned me on to a lot of great songs by others. I knew Townes Van Zandt's music, but Nanci's version of Tecumseh Valley got me into him much more. Her cover of Sweet Dream's Will Come, brought John Stewart to my attention.
Sad to lose such a good soul.

This is sad news as she has always been a favorite of mine.  I really liked the duets she did with the likes of John Prine and Arlo Guthrie. 

"Sad to lose such a good soul."

Yeah-- my sense is that she would've made a great contribution just by being alive,  simply due to who she was as a person, whether or not she'd been a performing artist.
