Tnn's `American Music Shop' Brings Top Performers Together
July 03, 1993|By Wayne Bledsoe, Scripps-Howard News Service.
NASHVILLE - On a network filled with music, "The American Music Shop" stands out.
Nearly every show of the Nashville Network's "American Music Shop" (9 p.m. and 1 a.m. Tuesdays, TNN) is an event: Country diva Emmylou Harris performs with new star Trisha Yearwood; legendary singer-songwriter John Prine trades songs with upcoming singer-songwriter John Wesley Harding; young country star Dwight Yoakam picks with bluegrass great Ralph Stanley; Ireland's foremost band, the Chieftains, performs with Ricky Skaggs and Chet Atkins.
It's a show where individual music artists perform together, often for the first time, backed up by some of the best session players in music...
The show, TNN's fourth most popular program, seems to be a particular favorite among other musicians.
It doesn't hurt that the members of the house band have followings in their own right.
Led by master violinist, guitarist, mandolinist Mark O'Connor, the band includes Jerry Douglas, a man who has nearly reinvented the dobro; guitarist Brent Mason; bassist Glen Worf; drummer Harry Stinson; and keyboardists John Jarvis and Matt Rollings.
"In developing the show, I sold the network on getting the very best possible house band that we could get," O'Neill says.
"And that was going to be part of the draw for the show-at least from the artist's perspective."
O'Connor, probably the most popular session musician in Nashville at the time, was thrilled with the prospect.
He says the show offered the first chance for television audiences to get a look at how Nashville's studio musicians work.

RIP Nanci ! You were so loved !! Cried all day after learning you had left us, Played your music all night with wet and tear filled eyes.

[@jorgbaiter2767]

My absolute favourite song from Nancy’s songbook…..so nice to see a very very young on the dobro, beloved Jerry Douglas… I will sing this song upcoming weekend with my band, first meeting after angling way thru the pandemic, last time we played was last October….goodbye Nancy, fare thee well!

[@knifelyfe6565]

"Five and Dime" is like the gateway to the genius of Nanci Griffith.Once you hear it, you gotta have more. AINT IT FUN BEING FROM TEXAS!

How can any guy who listens to and watches Nanci perform w her facial expressions....her beautiful and somewhat crooked smile, her eye rolling, and side ways glances, NOT help but fall in love w her. I hadn't seen her Grand Hotel video on YT until after she departed from this world. My heart only ached that much harder watching that and listening to her words especially, at the end, opening those double doors to a balcony singing "I'm just learning how to fly away again"....

[@ljacobs357]

My favorite of all time.

[@fitzmeister5992]

An angelic voice. RIP Nanci.

[@woodielawson6963]

Very Nice! Rest In Peace Nanci.

[@Paul1958R]

My late wife and I saw Nanci do this song at Mechanics Hall Worcester MA March 27 1993

[@randycrooks4291]

RIP Nanci.

"Love at the Five and Dime" is a sublime song by the sensible storyteller Nanci Griffith, one of those stories in which the great American songwriter loves to immerse herself, professing pity, compassion and love. At the end of the song Nanci dances, dances with her guitar and with the characters of her song, dances with her thoughts and with her heart, dances with music around and with a soul

[@jaclnyman8342]

I'm still listening!

[@LAGOON118]

James Mcmurtry really adds a nice addition to Nancy and this beautiful song. Absolutely two of the best in the industry.

[@nosaintntx]

McMurtry, Nance, Clark, O'Connor and Douglas.Try and beat that Pride of Lions. AINT IT FUN BEING FROM TEXAS!

[@jamestillman5546]

In one live session she spoke of writing this song based on her own short story. Are any of her prose pieces out there? I'd sure love to read some. Even just one would be wonderful.

[@dragonwagon1]

Can someone tell me when this aired?

[@b1j]

Those other guys are sincere and all, but they’re not in her league.

[@knifelyfe6565]

Lol Hey doofus.Do your homework.Everyone of those guys are huge studio players who back everybody who is anybody.lol James McMurtry and Guy Clark are two of the finest Singer/Songwriters in Texas.Look up Mark O'Connor and Jerry Douglas and Harry Stinson is with Marty Stuart's band.lol Get a clue!
