Gone too soon. Great songwriter and a fantastic performer. I was amazed on how good she was live when I saw her a few years ago.

My ex wife, a stellar musician herself, idolized Griffith. I got to know and appreciate her music very much. Yet another massive loss.

Big fan for a lot of years.
Big fan for a lot of years. She was a staple on our radio station's folks shows and came to town many times. Was a sweetheart to meet, too. Got an autographed photo and she signed my guitar.
Was married to another great songwriter, Eric Taylor, for a spell.
Damn, SO MANY great songs. "I Knew Love", "It's A Hard Life", "From A Distance".......
Albums like "Poet In My Window" (an absolute classic), "Storms", "Little Love Affairs", "Other Voices, Other Rooms". Oh man, what a catalog of musical achievement and artistry.

First song of hers I ever heard; likely on Christine Lavin's old Sunday AM show. Hooked immediately.
Brilliant songwriter.
Wonder if she ever sang with Iris DeMent. The Helium Honeys!
