lemonade kid	Posted - 16/05/2016 : 19:39:59 One of the best song interpreters ever...bringing together an assembly of more great ones than any two albums can almost hold! With special guests Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Richard Thompson, Other Voices, Other Rooms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnzl-54YyKU&list=PLBNqizG8xrRAQRGmnI1_90V5QHZq5Eap1 AllMusic Review by Johnny Loftus Nanci Griffith has the kind of beguiling singing voice that's effortless and easily beautiful -- like a pretty girl who doesn't ever need makeup to be radiant. Sounding a little bit like Emmylou Harris is never a bad thing, but Griffith doesn't stop there. She duets with Harris and a host of other country and folk notables on Other Voices, Other Rooms, her first collection of cover songs. Like Harris, Griffith can climb inside a character-driven song with a simple twist of inflection or a lingering note. This is what she does on Vince Bell's "Woman of the Phoenix," deftly painting images of a winter freeze, cacti, and Michael, the "rock 'n' roll hood from the Odessa plains." Dylan's "Boots of Spanish Leather" rambles like the Texas countryside and features the man himself on harmonica. The guest list for Other Voices really is incredible. Alison Krauss, John Gorka, Edgar Meyer, Amy Ray, and Emily Saliers -- it's a regular homespun who's who. There's plenty to sigh about here, and occasionally the album can almost be too tasteful for its own good. But raveups like Woody Guthrie's "Do-Re-Mi" let Griffith trade some serenity for dustbowl grit (the addition of John Prine's lascivious gruffness helps a lot, too), and the frustrated anger of "This Old Town" only supports this. What might be most refreshing about Other Voices, Other Rooms is its ability to access the warm tones of country, grassroots, 1960s folk, and the '70s songwriting tradition while still sounding more like it comes from Griffith's Texas roots than anywhere else. This is highly recommended for fans of Griffith or any of the like-minded artists who help out here. ................................... Other Voices Too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTKjXVbdyMo&list=PLBNqizG8xrRCvXA_czpDQVVPCbGVCiGPf AllMusic Review by Jason Ankeny Trailing five years behind the release of Other Voices, Other Rooms, Nanci Griffith's second collection of covers is that rare sequel which actually surpasses its predecessor. Boasting an even stronger and wider-ranging set of songs, Other Voices, Too (A Trip Back to Bountiful) captures the singer at her most radiant and expressive -- moving easily from the Stephen Foster perennial "Hard Times Come Again No More" to '60s pop hits like "You Were on My Mind" to British folk-rock chestnuts like Richard Thompson's "Wall of Death" and Sandy Denny's "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" -- Griffith stamps each of these 19 tracks with her own indelible signature, revitalizing not only her material but herself in the process. ________________________________________________ The actual writing of a song usually comes in the form of a realisation.
