Subject: Nanci on Acoustic Cafe singing Townes                       

This was on the Townes Van Zandt mailing list.  Seems to have Nanci
singing Tecumseh Valley, and an interview.  I can't get sound, so don't
know for sure what is there.  Enjoy!

There is currently an online (Real Audio) link to a "Townes Van Zandt
spotlight" from a 1/28/97 Acoustic Cafe radio program.  Go to the
Acoustic Cafe website (www.acafe.com) and then go to the "Listening to
the Cafe" link and scroll down to Segment 4 of program #107.  If it has
been moved from that link, it may be under the more general icon that
says "Michigan Live" or something like that, as part of the Tori Amos
show.  The TVZ spotlight has the following songs and interviews with
each singer:
Tecumseh Valley - Nanci Griffith
Buckskin Stallion Blues- Jimmie Dale Gilmore
Pancho & Lefty - Emmylou Harris
Don't You Take It So Bad (live/in-studio)
      - Guy Clark
Dublin Blues - Townes Van Zandt
Total Time: 27:36

Quite simply I'm her biggest fan and i consider her a dear friend from
way way back in the early days. Nanci was a huge inspiration in the
studio late last year when she sang on my new cd "SHINE ON".. Thanks
y'all... Gove

Dear all,

Eddie Reader used to play in a band called Fairground Attraction
who had a huge hit (in the UK at least) with a song called "Perfect"
this was one of the most intensely irritatingly catchy popsongs ever,
one which you just can't stop humming (in fact now I can't
get the tune out of my head).  I saw them live (accidently) at the
Cambridge Folk Festival  years ago (I was there to see NG and Lyle Lovett,
but I also saw Richard Thompson for the first time which was a
real revelation - but thats another story) and they were more kind
of a skiffle/jazz/folk (!) type band than the single had lead people
to believe.

Anyway there's an interesting article/review on her and the album
Candyfloss and Medicine at...

http://george.scranton.com/reader.html

...if anyone's interested.  The writer compares her to k d lang and Jane
Siberry so I think I'm going to have to check this album out.

regards,

Robert (Pugsley)

I know for sure that track 21 is "Prairie in the Sky."  Mary McCaslin sings
it (and Nanci copies her version).

In October 1997 I saw Nanci at the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham Alabama.  She
said her new disc OV/OR 2 would be available in December.  To date I can't
find anything anywhere!  Anyone have any firm release date info.  Very anxious
to hear more of Miss Nanci!

Hello, Ive not written before but have been enjoying the post for the past few
weeks.

At the moment I am listening to a tape I made from the radio a couple of years
ago (Good old BBC!) - it is a recording of Nanci at the Cambridge Folk
Festival (maybe 3 years ago?) and it lasts approx half an hour. I dont know if
any of you have heard it but if there is enough interest I am willing to make
copies.

Incidentally, I saw Nanci last year in Ipswich and she said that it would be
her last WORLD tour. It was also Sonny Curtis's sixtieth birthday that night
and they lowered a zimmer frame onto stage in his honour!

As for female piano players what about Kate and Anna McGarrigle? (Well, on a
few of their tracks, anyway)

Been a Nanci fan since 87 and seldom have been without a Nanci CD or Tape
in the stereo for all those years.  I have been reading the digests for
several years and have wondered why there is not more interest among
other fans about Carrie Newcomer.  Her "My Father's Only Son" has some of
the best writing I have heard.  If you have a chance to see her with her
band, do it!  I case you are wondering what prompted this posting.  The CD
player rolled over from Lone Star State of Mind to Carrie's My Father's
Only Son and I just needed to share.

Good Music and Peace

Tom
