Nanci Griffith with John Prine - Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness

For her tenth album Other Voices, Other Rooms (1993), Nanci Griffith made a brilliant decision, namely to record some of her favourite songs and enlisting help from some of her favourite performers. The album's poignant title is borrowed from Truman Capote's debut novel which she poses with on the front cover. Among the very best of the 17 songs on the album is Griffith's version of John Prine's beautiful "Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness", featuring harmony vocals by the great man himself.
