Thank you Nanci, thank you John. Beautiful song.

My wife and I played this album frequently while heading out to our summer backpacking trips in Colorado. Great album. Loved seeing Nanci Griffith at the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival in Estes Park.
I have more Nancy Griffith CDs and albums than any artist but the Beatles. Saw her at her height aft Symphony Hall in Boston, with Iris Dement.
I hope Nanci and John are singing together again. They are sorely missed. At least we still have this.

Bad choice for Nanci's Wikipedia image - Nixon/Agnew - yuck
Still, her voice embodies that sweet southern sentiment that's not often found up here in the north. After all, this is a great country that needs unity.

I had a chance to see her live in 2006 here in Phoenix. Great show and I'm sorry she's left us.
Just started listening to the Mellow MIx. Discovering quite a few artists that I never knew existed. Thanks Bill G.
RIP Nancy. Thank you for everything you gave us.
I was so very sad to hear of her passing. Loved her work and saw her several times, although not for many years.
An Austin girl, but she left long before I got here.

I'm not crying...you're crying.
Interesting buttons she is wearing on her wiki photo
another example of the exemplary songwriting by John Prine. I find this a fine cover.
To be honest, I like the Alabama 3 version best. Saved an otherwise quite boring song in my eyes.
Great John Prine tune, though I like Nanci's version a little less, even with John singing background
excellent cover cd, but I never read the book.
