Nanci Griffith is a survivor.Her high school boyfriend died in a motorcycle crash after taking her to prom. She was engaged to singer-songwriter Tom Kimmel and that was broken off. She survived breast and thyroid cancer. She battled a five-year case of writer's block until releasing her 2009 record, The Loving Kind.
The Last of the True Believers is her fourth studio album released in 1986 and is her first effort that steers from the folk efforts she previously had released and is much more country and western.
I've been very excited to listen to this album for no real reason. I do like the album title. It's hopeful. Also, I've had some luck on this 1,001 list with country female singer-songwriters and I was not disappointed here.
This is a very sweet, folksy album. Songs about innocent love and a slice of Americana. No complaints here.
