Born in Seguin, TX and raised in Austin, Nanci Griffith (1953 – 2021) began writing and performing songs as a teenager, drawing inspiration from Loretta Lynn and Townes Van Zandt, as well as from Southern literary heroes like Carson McCullers and Tennessee Williams. By her early 20s, Griffith was well entrenched in the local music scene, where she caught the ears of Michael Williams, who released her 1978 debut on his label, B.F. Deal. Williams was immediately captivated by the young artist. “There was never a moment when I felt like she didn’t know what she was doing,” he recalls. “She was probably the most talented person I had the privilege of working with.” Captured on a two-track, There’s a Light Beyond These Woods was comprised nearly entirely of original material (including “I Remember Joe,” “John Philip Griffith,” and “Song for Remembered Heroes”). The stripped-down folk set allowed Griffith’s poetic tales of love and loss to take center stage, introducing her as a promising new songwriter.
