Nanci Griffith joins host Michaela Majoun

There is a brand new tribute album of Nanci Griffith songs out now. It features covers by artists like Billy Strings and Brandy Clark, so we’re revisiting a 2007 session from our archives, when Nanci came by to perform covers of artists she admired. You can hear the interview and live performances next time on an Encore World Cafe.

This is an encore
