^ Figured it out. She's laughing at Trollheart for getting the title backwards. |

Ugh... I hate this kind of soft radio country. I'm not sure there is a worse genre.
This is like that crap my parents listen to in their car all the time. Not quite as bad, but close. This is going to be the most difficult album club week yet for me. Sorry Troll, but this kind of music is my Achilles heel. Maybe I'll be less grumpy about it in a few days, so I'll wait with listening to the whole thing (can I pay anyone to do it for me?) |
What do think of the synth in the introduction to "Speed of The Sound of Loneliness" first track from "Other Voices | Other Rooms" by Nanci Griffith, does it sound more like Jack Horkheimer's "Star Hustler" or Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" theme?

I was impress who was on the album so I copy/paste the credits. It has a few of my favorite Country artists like Emmylou Harris, Iris DeMent, Chet Atkins and American Primitive guitar player Leo Kottke. There is a good songs selection. I was familiar with a few. They were written by Kate Wolf (I love Kate), Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan et al. Initially I didn't like the weak keyboards, but seeing people I love in Country I think that alone will push this from a "meh" (for being a TH pick) all the way up to a "Loved It."

This album has been an interesting experience, on one hand i got a bit bored of it at first cause it was too country but on the other hand, i kinda loved it. Almost instantly i found her . voice very charming and at some points she sings with this sweet country twang i found adorable. 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. |
These are folk songs.

It won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
How the **** is it so hard for the tards on this site to tell country from folk? |
