13 Aug 21 - 04:33 PM (#4116431) Subject: Obit: Nanci Griffith From: GUEST,Nathan Tompkins Well the 13th is sure living up to itself today....bloody hell. Nanci Griffith Dies Nanci Griffith, Grammy-winning folk singer-songwriter, dies at 68By Kristin M. HallToday at 5:27 p.m. EDT Nanci Griffith, the Grammy-winning folk singer-songwriter from Texas whose literary songs like “Love at the Five and Dime” celebrated the South, has died. She was 68. Her management company, Gold Mountain Entertainment, said Ms. Griffith died Aug. 13 but did not provide a cause of death. “It was Nanci’s wish that no further formal statement or press release happen for a week following her passing,” Gold Mountain Entertainment said in a statement. Ms. Griffith worked closely with other folk singers, helping the early careers of artists such as Lyle Lovett and Emmylou Harris. She had a high-pitched voice, and her singing was effortlessly smooth with a twangy Texas accent as she sang about Dust Bowl farmers and empty Woolworth general stores. Ms. Griffith was also known for her recording of “From a Distance,” which would later become a popular Bette Midler tune. The song appeared on Ms. Griffith’s first major label release, “Lone Star State of Mind” in 1987. Her 1993 album “Other Voices, Other Rooms,” earned a Grammy for best contemporary folk album. Named after a Truman Capote novel, the album features Ms. Griffith singing with Harris, John Prine, Arlo Guthrie and Guy Clark on classic folk songs. Nanci Caroline Griffith was born in Seguin, Tex., on July 6, 1953, and had her first paid gig in her teens. In keeping with the tradition of folk music, she often wrote social commentary into her songs, such as the anti-racist ode “It’s a Hard Life Wherever You Go.” “Trouble in the Fields” addressed the economic impact on rural farmers in the 1980s. “I wrote it because my family were farmers in West Texas during the Great Depression,” Ms. Griffith told the Los Angeles Times in a 1990 interview. “It was written basically as a show of support for my generation of farmers.” Ms. Griffith gained many fans in Ireland and Northern Ireland, where she would often tour. In 2008, she won the Lifetime Achievement Trailblazer Award from the Americana Music Association. A complete list of survivors was not immediately available. —Associated Press |

The article concludes with the assertion: "Griffith was diagnosed with cancer at least twice, first with breast cancer in 1996 and again, this time with thyroid cancer, in 1999." Silly thought: there must be an awful lot of Roisin O'Connors out there, but I am reminded of Sinead O'Connor's only daughter . . . |

You were part of the heart of our lives. I thought of you every time I saw a rusty Ford Econoline van. I thought of you when I was on the adventure of driving Highway 90, the Gulf Coast Highway - on my way to move my sister to her last home before she died.

15 Aug 21 - 11:38 PM (#4116680) Subject: RE: Obit: Nanci Griffith (1953-2021) From: Joe Offer As usual, The Guardian has a good obituary: Nanci Griffith obituary American folk-country singer and songwriter best known for Love at the Five and Dime and her album Other Voices, Other Rooms Adam Sweeting, 15 Aug 2021 Greatly admired by her fellow artists and a devoted army of fans, Nanci Griffith, who has died aged 68, exemplified a style of musical storytelling with a literary flavour, focusing on the small details of the lives of her characters. Songs such as Love at the Five and Dime and Gulf Coast Highway have become permanent fixtures in the folk-country canon (Griffith described her music as “folkabilly”), and the Grammy award she won for her album Other Voices, Other Rooms in 1994 seemed a long overdue reward for her carefully crafted body of work. While that album comprised versions of other people’s songs, other artists appreciated the quality of her own material. Love at the Five and Dime, from Griffith’s album The Last of the True Believers (1986), was a Grammy-nominated country hit for Kathy Mattea, while Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson sang Gulf Coast Highway on Harris’s hit album Duets (1990). Suzy Bogguss had a country Top 10 hit with Griffith’s Outbound Plane. A shrewd song-picker, Griffith was the first artist to record Julie Gold’s From a Distance, and it gave her a Top 10 hit in Ireland, though it was Bette Midler who had a huge hit with it in 1990. A less successful covers album, Other Voices, Too (A Trip Back to Bountiful), released in 1998, was accompanied by a book, Nanci Griffith’s Other Voices – A Personal History of Folk Music. The youngest of three children, Griffith was born in Seguin, Texas, a small town near San Antonio. Her father, Marlin, was a bookseller. He also sang in barbershop quartets and was a fan of traditional folk music who introduced Nanci to the music of the 1960s folk-revivalist Carolyn Hester. His wife, Ruelen (nee Strawser), worked as an estate agent. Her parents moved to Austin during her childhood before divorcing in 1960. Griffith described her family as “really dysfunctional”, and her song Bad Seed, from the album Intersection (2012), was addressed to her father, and included the lines “Bad seed, there’s a darkness I can’t hide … too much pain to keep inside.” She learned to play the guitar by watching a PBS TV series hosted by Laura Weber and started to write her own songs. Her first performance was at the Red Lion club in Austin, when she was 12. She listed the songwriter Odetta as one of her key influences, and defined herself by saying: “You take a whole lot of Woody Guthrie and a whole lot of Loretta Lynn, swoosh it around and it comes out as Nanci Griffith.” She recalled being strongly affected by seeing her fellow Texan Townes van Zandt perform, singling out his song Tecumseh Valley, the kind of finely drawn narrative that would become a trademark of her own work. She played in clubs while finishing her academic qualifications, and armed with a degree in education from the University of Texas, she became a kindergarten teacher. In 1978 she released her debut album, There’s a Light Beyond These Woods, on the local Austin label BF Deal. The title song defined some of her essential qualities. It was a haunting and nostalgic saga of two childhood friends pursuing different paths through life, and included a reference to a boy called John, who had been her high school sweetheart but died in a motorcycle accident. Also in 1978 she won the New Folk competition at the Kerrville folk festival. She made three more albums for the independent labels Featherbed and Philo, the last of them the Grammy-nominated The Last of the True Believers, before moving to Nashville in 1985. Her arrival there coincided with a boom in so-called “New Country” artists, including Steve Earle and Lyle Lovett, though she insisted that she did not belong to that category. She signed a deal with a major label, MCA, for whom she recorded a quartet of albums including Lone Star State of Mind (1987), which reached 23 on the US country chart and gave her a country Top 40 hit with the title track, and Little Love Affairs (1988), which went to 27 on the country chart. Griffith put together her renowned Blue Moon Orchestra, which would accompany her for more than a decade. The albums Storms (1989) and Late Night Grande Hotel (1991), produced by the rock producer Glyn Johns and Rod Argent and Peter Van Hooke respectively, provoked some criticism from purists for aiming for a more mainstream audience. In 1993 she moved to the Elektra label where she would enjoy her highest profile successes. Other Voices, Other Rooms (1993) borrowed its title from Truman Capote’s first novel and was a collection of songs by writers who had inspired her, including Guthrie, Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Janis Ian and John Prine, and featured guest appearances by Dylan, Prine, Hester, Emmylou Harris and Iris DeMent. Further success followed with Flyer (1994), which cracked the Top 50 in the US and reached 20 in the UK, though subsequent releases saw her sales falling away. Griffith suffered health problems. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1996 and thyroid cancer in 1998. A case of Dupuytren’s contracture caused her to lose flexibility in her fingers. She was married to the Texan singer-songwriter Eric Taylor from 1976 until their divorce in 1982. Taylor had served in Vietnam, and in 2000 Griffith visited Vietnam and Cambodia with the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation. Vietnam was the subject of several songs on her last Elektra album Clock Without Hands (2001), named after a novel by Carson McCullers. She recorded four more albums, the last of them being Intersection, recorded at her Nashville home with Pete and Maura Kennedy and the percussionist Pat McInerney. Two of its songs Come On Up Mississippi and Bethlehem Steel reflected some of Griffith’s social and political concerns. Nanci Griffith recorded One Fair Summer Evening at the Anderson Fair Club in Houston in 1988. By far, it is my favorite Nanci Griffith album. Here's the playlist: But I also found a collection of Nanci Griffith performances on David Letterman's show - these are really fun: And here's a hometown obituary from the Austin Chronicle: |

27 Aug 21 - 04:08 PM (#4118050) Subject: RE: Obit: Nanci Griffith (1953-2021) From: GUEST keberoxu: here you go In the beginning “I did my first professional gig at the age of 14 on a Thanksgiving evening downtown at the Red Lion Cabaret,” Griffith said in an interview included on the 1993 Paramount concert video. “I made $11. It was a great evening. Nobody came; I was terrible, but I made 11 bucks.” The interview took place at the former site of Holy Cross, a religious school Griffith attended at the northwest corner of 41st and Red River streets in Hyde Park. (It’s now the site of the Commodore Perry Estate luxury hotel.) “I learned a lot of other people’s songs when I went to school here because I played at the folk mass every week,” she says in the video interview. “I learned a lot of Bob Dylan songs, and a lot of Tom Paxton songs, for folk mass.” Childhood friend Maggie Graham also attended Holy Cross. In a 1998 email interview published to a Griffith fan site, Graham recalls the two pals hanging out downtown at Vulcan Gas Company, the Paramount Theatre, Woolworth’s and other 1960s-era establishments. "We did what most people our age did at those places," Graham wrote. "We were wild, at least by our parents' standards, and I suppose I was the wilder of the two of us. Nanci had more sense than I did." |

She asked that, in lieu of flowers, to make donations to Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, the Mines Advisory Group of Manchester, England, or The Store in Nashville, Tennessee." |
