I saw OH and Neapolitan mention these are covers so it's this like a "Nanci sings all the country greats" kinda album? I mean idk anything about this girl or country in general but i found like 5 songs in this album i really like. Turn Around, This Old Town, Speed of The Sound of Loneliness (lol) and my 2 fav tracks, From Clare to Here and Boots of Spanish Leather.

This album quickly grew on me and it still is, so I'm giving an 8/10 loved it. Good pick TH.
Glad you enjoyed it after your initial poor impression of her, Francis. Yeah these are songs that are important to her, artists that she admires and in some cases worked with, in others just influenced her work. It's interesting that you liked her voice; one thing about Nanci is you either love or hate her voice, as it's very distinctive and I feel could turn a lot of people off. Anyway glad you found something to enjoy in it.
