Other Voices, Other Rooms (2LP)
Nanci Griffith’s Other Voices, Other Rooms is more than just a heartfelt collection of folk classics—it marks her debut on Elektra, a label that played a pivotal role in fostering the singer-songwriter movement of the ’60s. A rare departure from her own songwriting, the 1993 album features Griffith’s distinct voice alongside legends like Emmylou Harris, Arlo Guthrie, and John Prine. With standout tracks like “Tecumseh Valley” and “Speed of the Sound of Loneliness,” it earned her a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album, further cementing her place in the Americana and folk music scenes.
