Music fans were heartbroken when they heard that a singer-songwriter with a pure voice and great empathy, Nanci Griffith, had passed away in Nashville. I had a conversation with her in 1998 at Atlantic Recording Studios in NYC. Joining her in the studio was a pantheon of Texas songwriters - Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, Rodney Crowell, and Eric Taylor - plus NYC guitarist Frank Christian. One of the highlights was "Desperados Waiting for a Train," which they all performed together. Hear that, plus other Nanci Griffith favorites in the WFUV Archives.
