RIP-Nanci Griffith

Sad news. Nanci Girffith passed away. No cause of death mentioned.

Quote:
Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Nanci Griffith died Friday morning in Nashville, a rep for her management company has confirmed to Variety. No caused of death was announced; she was 68.
“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. Griffith survived cancer twice in the 1990s.
While a powerful singer in her own right, Griffith was arguably better known for her songs like “Love at the Five and Dime” (which was a country hit for Kathy Mattea) and “Outbound Plane” (ditto Suzy Bogguss) and as a collaborator: She recorded duets with Emmylou Harris John Prine, Willie Nelson, the Chieftans, Darius Rucker, and many others over the course of her four-decade career. Her Grammy was for an album consisting of classic country covers, “Other Voices, Other Rooms.”

Wow didn't expect that, she was only 68. RIP.
One if the best concerts we ever went to was in a small theater in Vermont. She and her band sounded fantastic.

"it's a hard life, it's a hard life,
it's a very hard life, it's a hard life wherever you go.
And if we poison our children with hatred
a hard life is all that they'll know."

This news makes me sad. Nanci Griffith was quite the songwriter.

RIP-Nanci Griffith

Sorry to hear this. I can well understand why she was one of the people everybody in Nashville wanted to work with. I’ll share this little work of art.

Nancy was a very well respected songwriter in Nashville and could often be seen at the Bluebird with her songwriter friends "in the round." She'll be missed.
