About
Nanci Griffith loved a crowded credits list. Never shy about paying homage to her collaborator, inspiration, and friend, the singer-songwriter manifested her most inclusive project yet on this collection of cover, her first album for Elektra. Unpretentious and straightforward, the release finds the Griffith leveraging her success not to delve inward but instead to foster collaboration—an unlikely embrace by a singer and songwriter who was plenty capable of songcraft and performance all on her own. A number of the songs are classics by the usual suspects: Van Zandt, Dylan, Guthrie, Prine. The collaborator, though, span generations and genre. Dylan himself does appear, playing harmonica on “Boots of Spanish Leather,” but there are much less likely unions: Guy Clark joins Griffith to sing Guthrie’s lighthearted Dust Bowl migrant’s anthem “Do Re Mi,” and Iris DeMent and Emmylou Harris chime in for the Carter Family chestnut “Are You Tired Of Me Darling,” crafting one of many mini-<i>Trio</i> redux project. Blink and you might miss Alison Krauss playing violin on “Woman of the Phoenix”; that’s how packed this album is with Griffith’s chosen musical community. .
