From the liner notes BF Deal Sampler

"Nanci Griffith is either a butterfly or a bird of paradise, or maybe a sparrow just in out of the rain. As you watch her sing, it is easy to get caught up in a sweet sadness, and sometimes noisy rooms get quiet while Nanci sings folks their own stories. And just when you think she’s too frail to survive, she belts one out Hot-Mama style, and everybody goes a little nuts trying to figure out how all that music come out of a girl who looks like she's only fourteen years old."

Since the BF Deal Sampler Nanci has become quite well known and a prolific entertainer. Here credits are many and she is well loved by many of her fans. You can find more on Nanci at her homesite  HERE .
