From A Distance: The Very Best Of Nanci Griffith by Nanci Griffith - DeepRiffs

LIVE

One of the strongest volumes in the 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection series, The Best of Nanci Griffith does collect many of her career highlights, including "Trouble in the Fields," "Love at the Five and Dime," "From a Distance," and "It's a Hard Life Wherever You Go." Other highlights include "Once in a Very Blue Moon," "Lone Star State of Mind," and "Outbond Plane." Essentially a trimmed-down version of The MCA Years: A Retrospective, this collection is a wonderfully concise introduction to Griffith's radiant, earnest singing and songwriting. ~ Heather Phares
