Info: FRoots, December 2002: Winter Marquee, a 14-track live recording, equates to a reprise of Grifith's musical career, plus some new stu''. Featuring her Blue Moon Orchestra, the album was recorded at the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville in May 2002. Assisted by guests Emmylou Harris, Tom Russell and Andy Hardin, Grifith opens the collection with John Prine's Speed of the Sound of Loneliness and draws it to a close with Phil Ochs' What's That I Hear, Followed by a boisterous rendition of Townes' White Freight Liner Blues. In addition to the latter pair of previously unrecorded songs, Nanci also covers Good Night, New York, written by Julie Gold, sharing the vocals with Emmylou Harris. Far From being a 9/11 song, Gold penned it during the 90s as a tribute to her adopted hometown. The lyrics include a re'erence to the Vietnam war, which Nanci neatly segues into her own reFlection upon that struggle (her ex-husband Eric Taylor served there), Travelling Through This Part of You. The only new song in this set is an upbeat country/ rock-tinged outing titled Last Train Home. The remaining eight titles are all old Grifith classics. The Four bonus tracks include John Stewart's song Lost Her In The Sun, as well as the title track of the album which she wrote hersel', both From last year's Clock Without Hands. In addition, there's the Pete Seeger/ Lee Hayes co-write If I Had a Hammer, which Grifith included on her second Folk-music tribute collection Other Voices Too. Completing the quartet of video additions is a new Nanci Gri''ith composition Home on the Radio, a tribute to her mentor, close Friend and song scribe, Harlan Howard, who passed away earlier this year. -- Arthur Wood.."
