If you want to hear pure country from her, check out either The Last of the True Believers (was going to be my pick but I changed it at the last moment), Once In a Very Blue Moon or Lone Star State of Mind (I know: those titles, huh?). Her later albums tend to be a little more on the poppy side, and the ones before those kind of veer more in the folk direction.

Edit: Clare is a county in Ireland, which is why the song is titled "From Clare to Here". It's a lament from an Irish immigrant for his homeland. Not actually as old as I thought: written in 1976.
