Our Take

Nanci Griffith's latest offering, "Working In Corners," is a delightful mishmash of folk, country, and Americana, served with a side of quirkiness that only Griffith can deliver. The album kicks off with the toe-tapping "She Ain't Goin' Nowhere," a tongue-in-cheek anthem that sets the tone for the rest of the record.

Throughout the album, Griffith's songwriting shines, with lyrics that are both witty and heartfelt. Tracks like "Once in a Very Blue Moon" and "Cold Hearts / Closed Minds" showcase Griffith's storytelling prowess, painting vivid pictures of love, loss, and resilience.

Musically, "Working In Corners" is a triumph, with Griffith's distinct, twangy vocals weaving seamlessly through a mix of acoustic guitars, fiddles, and pedal steel. The production is crisp and clean, allowing the songs to breathe and shine.

Standout tracks on the album include the hauntingly beautiful "Love at the Five and Dime" and the rollicking "Gulf Coast Highway," featuring a guest appearance from the legendary Emmylou Harris.

Overall, "Working In Corners" is a charming, eclectic collection of songs that showcases Griffith's talent and versatility. With its catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics, this album is sure to win over fans old and new. Grab your cowboy boots and dive into Nanci Griffith's musical world - you won't be disappointed.
