    I never liked Country music. Then this angel appeared and I would crawl over broken glass to see and hear her.

    She is so deceptively good. Most people would sing this song so sweet and pretty, but that's kind of easy and fake... she sings it with her own voice, it has almost a SLAP in it, she has such a cool voice... I guess it has a heavy Joan Baez influence, but the way she just goes from softspoken lines, to kind of swelling up into a nice, strong, 'slap' of a belt on some of those lines is just so well done. Nothing seems fake, she seems completely sincere, and she's not trying to sound a certain way, she just has a ton of energy in all of her vocals, it's never boring and just wakes you up, even if it's a slow, soft song like this. What an incredible talent she was. Effortless, too.

      @HungryH1951 3 месяца назад

      @@charlesking5328 It could be because she never had any big hits on the radio and if you weren't into folk and country in the 80's and 90's she could have escaped your attention. The closest thing she had to a hit song was From a Distance (written by Julie Gold) which did get some air play about 1989 but it never became huge. That is until Bette Midler had a giant hit with that song. But Nanci's albums were really good, even though no big hits came from them.

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade 9 месяцев назад

      I know what you mean, she has a very innocent quality in some of these songs. I've seen Brian Wilson on a good day do similar things, there's something about her performance here that is a little detached, which just makes it much better. She's singing a very sad song, but with a clear and pure voice, it really kind of in a way makes you think aobut the lyrics more. She just has a pure quality that really helps anything she sings. Fantastic performer, it must have been a natural thing for her becuase she doesn't come across as pretending, it's all honest and pure.
