k.d. Lang and Nanci Griffith
Johnnie and David enjoy k.d. lang's Ingenue from 1992 and 1988's Storms by Nanci Griffith, which haven't dated at all and can be played all the way through, quite a rare feat now.
Johnnie Walker and David Hepworth enjoy Ingenue by k.d. lang from 1992 and 1988's Storms by Nanci Griffith. As they comment - both albums are a beautiful listen, haven't dated at all and can be played all the way through, something which is now quite rare.
They pose a puzzler about albums that keep the big hit single until the very end of the record and look at Canadian Katherine Dawn Lang's musical history (and ancestry) in different genres, her incredible voice, duets with Roy Orbison and Tony Bennett and her many award nominations.
Nanci's father was a Welsh tenor in a Barbershop Quartet and her mother loved jazz, so she was singing from an early age and started playing the guitar at the age of 6 and writing from the age of 12. She dreamed of places featured in Storms and other albums, like Africa and Europe, while looking at the vast plains of Texas.
Like k.d., Nanci often mixed genres and worked with legendary British rock producer Glyn Johns on this album. She also didn't like the way that, in American Country music at the time, female singers often became victims with their song writing (with the exception of her heroines, friends and collaborators like Loretta Lynn, Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton).
You'll also hear 91热爆 archive interviews with KD and Nanci - often conducted by Johnnie himself.
