"Once Nanci Griffith moved away from "folkabilly"
in favor of an uptown middle-of-the-road sound, her albums often took on a self-important
archness that detoured their journey from her heart to ours. The fact that she
titled this one after a Carson McCullers novel telegraphs bad omens until you
remember that many of her best, early records also honored her literary heroes.
Clock Without Hands, her first album of mostly original material since
1997, turns out to be an elegant and gratifying surprise. With two songs meant
for a seriously ill parent and three set in Vietnam - one a deeply felt tribute
to ex-husband Eric Taylor, whose life was forever changed there - Nanci Griffith
seems to be making amends, healing old wounds, and finding the strength to move
on. This is a beautifully wrought record about the mysteries of love, longing
laid bare, and the importance of living in the moment. It may be the most honest
album of Nanci Griffith's career; certainly it's one of her most enjoyable." ~
