Much like Griffith's 1993 Grammy-winning Other Voices, Other Rooms, the new album features an A-list of alt.country guests, including Emmylou Harris, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, John Prine and Rodney Crowell, performing folk and country classics such as Clark's "Desperados Waiting For A Train," Woody Guthrie's "Deportee," Sandy Denny's "Who Knows Where The Time Goes," and Pete Seeger's "If I Had A Hammer."
First single, Richard Thompson's "Wall Of Death," due In early July, features Griffith with Ian Matthews, Tom Russell and Sharon Shannon.
Griffith's summer tour itinerary includes dates with the
traveling Newport Folk Festival beginning July 30
in Atlanta. Her first book, Nanci Griffith's Other Voices-A
Personal History Of Folk Music, is due Sept. 14 from Random
House's Crown division.
