Nanci Griffith has passed, age 68. Such sad news. I had the privilege and joy to see her twice, and her cover of Kate Wolf’s Across the Great Divide has helped me through every dark patch of life I’ve encountered. It really was impossible to see her perform and not feel like some of your hope and decency had been renewed.
Earlier this year, she was inducted into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Rest in harmony and power, dear lady.
