Nanci Griffith -- There's A Light Beyond These Woods [REACTION]

[@margaretk.302]

My mom was Mary Margaret. This song has been 'the song' to the one who became my bestfriend when I was 13 and she was 10. 50 years later, she has a loving husband, 5 kids and 15 grandkids. Me.... My job transferred me all over the country and now retired I live outside the US. This song is special to me, but Nanci Griffith's music is also very special to me. Rest in the loving arms of God, Ms. Griffith.

I so love this song! I wouldn’t even call her a country artist. She’s just an amazing artist. She’s one of my favorite artists of all time.

This song is a true story. Mary Margaret was Nanci's actual best friend and John was Nanci's boyfriend who died in a motorcycle accident after the senior prom.

Listening to Nanci's songs always makes me feel like I'm looking through someone's photo album. It's real...not a romanticized semblance or sterile facsimile...but actual life, in all it's mundane glory! Raised in Austin and even attended the Univ. of Texas 🤘, Ms. Griffith was the real deal. She will certainly be missed by millions...both inside and outside of the Texas state line.

Great comment here

@@shaanp9796 Thank you, my friend.

Nanci has been held very highly by a few artists here in ireland because she helped them and guided them when they started out. In all she had a voice that was so recognisable. another I called ONE of a Kind, She will always be missed But her music and legacy lives on RIP.

Nanci Griffith was such an Amazing Singer/Songwriter/Musician ! I'm grateful to have seen her in perform at Boston's Symphony Hall. Thanks for reacting to her music.🎶

[@DaveLeoni]

What a song.

[@Mattdirk59]

A beautiful light extinguished 😪😏but her music remains. Rip, Nanci, and thank you.

[@terrybaby4vr]

Nanci wrote the song “Outbound Plane” that Suzy Bogguss had a hit with in the early ‘90s”. I always liked Nanci’s singing voice and style of folk music. R.I.P. Nanci!

[@ednafenton7558]

Nancy was a great singer/songwriter. I loved her song "Ford Econoline". I don't think Country radio gave Nancy the air time she deserved. She has an amazing voice.

[@shaanp9796]

I went down the path of more Western and folk style music so I haven’t been watching as much, but I’m glad to see you’re still going strong and enjoying yourself on these!

[@warrenburlingame1172]

For the second time in a couple weeks you have introduced someone new to me. I'm ashamed that I've never heard her before. She reminds me of Suzy Bogess. Fly high Ms. Nanci

[@Bamaboompa]

Nancy wrote Suzy’s biggest (?) hit “Outbound Plane”. I like Suzys version but be sure and listen to Nancy’s version along with her “Love At The 5 & Dime” (Kathy Mattea’s Hit) & My favorite “Gulf Coast Highway “

[@mildbill2806]

Many thanks for letting us know. My favorite by her is " Love at the Five and Dime".

[@judyroberts7547]

You should hear “ Gulfcoast Highway” by Nancy Griffith!!! The most gorgeous song !My very favorite!!🥰

[@tfodthogtmfof7644]

I love listening to her perform with the Irish group the Chieftains on their live “an evening with the Chieftains” album. She was a beautiful soul enriching the world with her musical art.

[@thomashynes4042]

Mary Magret was Nancy's friend, the song was written as a tribute to her friend, she was a Life long friend.

[@PapaFixit]

Sweet.....R.I.P. Nanci.

[@KeatingChick]

RIP Nanci Caroline.

[@karynmaddox9397]

I cried. My best friend is MIA as I type.

[@jesusislord2457]

☮️💖🙏✝️✌️

[@PopKnows]

Her voice and style reminds one of Emmylou Harris. RIP: Nanci Griffith

[@Bamaboompa]

Thanks for this Don. I didn’t consider myself a “huge” NG fan although I’ve been listening to her since the 80’s. Whether or not you do a react or not, give a listen to this performance of “Gulf Coast Highway “ with James Hooker. (In addition to his work with her James was a founding member of The Amazing Rhythm Aces) Incredible voice, incredible smile, must have been an incredible person.

[@lindanicholson950]

The song I know best by her is Once In A Very Blue Moon. Also I like Across The Great Divide which is really a Kate Wolf song. You should do something by Kate Wolf. Here In California. The Trumpet Vine. One By One is really good (written by Woody Guthrie.)

[@brianchandler1966]

This song reminds me of Red Dirt Girl from Emmylou Harris

[@mikesavage2114]

Her voice reminds me of Stevie Nicks

[@jameslyons5465]

Great reaction nd have u heard ( Mitch Rossell - 2020) if not could please nd thank u

[@karynmaddox9397]

Ah man sad news.

[@oakhillfound847]

Perhaps this song reminds folks of Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris.

[@thomashynes4042]

Who was John? John was Nancy's boyfriend in high school. he died in a motorcycle accident after taking her to the senior prom.

[@sloansonnier6290]

React to Cory Marks “Outlaws and Outsiders “

[@rowanvolvo5454]

Is Mary Margaret her sister? Is this a make-up for "Drive in Movies & Dashboard Lights"?

[@joeskinner6009]

Don't know her.
