Bob Harris has the artist dubbed by Rolling Stone magazine as 'Queen of Folkabilly' Nanci Griffith live in session.

Originally a kindergarten teacher, Nanci Griffith released her first two albums in 1978 and 1982 on a local Austin label. Her breakthrough came in 1986 with the album Last of the True Believers, which earned her a Grammy nomination and led to her being signed by MCA. She went on to release Lone Star State of Mind, which included the hugely acclaimed Julie Gold composition From a Distance.

Her 1989 album Storms, and 1991's Late Night Grand Hotel moved her music further into the pop mainstream, before she returned to her country folk roots with Other Voices, Other Rooms, an album celebrating folk songwriters including Bob Dylan, Ralph McTell and Tom Paxton. Since then Nanci Griffith has recorded several more studio albums including a collection of re-worked songs with the London Symphony Orchestra, a sequel to Other Voices, Other Rooms and an album of intimate torch songs Ruby's Torch.

In a session recorded in Nashville last October Nanci talks about her upcoming release 'Intersection' which will be the 20th studio album of her career. She also recalls her early visits to the UK and Ireland which started her ongoing love affair with the British Isles.
