XPN welcomes Nanci Griffith March 14, 2007

Nanci Griffith travels well. Her musical journey has taken her from folk and country roots, to her own brand of "folkabilly"; from Austins Hole In The Wall bar to New Yorks Carnegie Hall, Nashvilles Grand Ole Opry and Londons Royal Albert Hall; from an eight-year-old girl in Texas learning to play guitar from a television instructor to a woman of the world, visiting and performing in Vietnam, Cambodia and Kosovo in support of the abolition of landmines. Today, the journey of one of the most admired and acclaimed of singer-songwriters--a career marked by a beautiful voice, brilliant songwriting and uncommon emotional commitment--continues. Her latest release, Ruby's Torch, is a collection of intimate torch songs, some penned by Griffith, others by some of her musical heroes, including Jimmy Webb and Willie Nelson.
