Being for years considered too folky for country fans and too country for folkies, Nanci Griffith - who first began performing in public in the late 1960s - did not achieve major Stateside success until 1994, when she won a Grammy for Other Voices, Other Rooms.

Before this, throughout the 1980s, she had found her most receptive audience in the UK and especially Ireland, and Wings To Fly... is a collection drawn from the albums recorded at that time: Storms, Lone Star State Of Mind, Little Love Affairs, Once In A Very Blue Moon and the live, One Fair Summer Evening.

Tastefully compiled, the album features such Nanci Griffith classics as "Outbound Plane", "It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go" and her delicate but famously stirring cover of Julie Gold's "From A Distance", and is an undeniable testament to her strength as a songwriter.

Inhabiting the wide-open terrain between Dolly Parton and Joni Mitchell, she is genuinely an artist of world class, and this is an excellent introduction


Nanci Griffith performs

"It's a Hard Life Wherever You Go".

From "Night Music."
