FLYER was nominated for Best Contemporary Folk Album in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.
With FLYER, Nanci Griffith continues her successful reign as folk music's best country artist. Unlike Mary-Chapin Carpenter who brought a homogenous blend of pop country/folk to the masses, Griffith still struggles on the fringe. Griffith's music is more sophisticated than Chapin's, but it is her high-register, nasal twang that holds her back from mass popularity. But she doesn't mind -- she has a strong cult following and is well respected by her peers.
It is the contribution of those peers that allows FLYER to soar. Griffith is joined by guitar virtuoso Frank Christian, the Indigo Girls, Emmylou Harris, The Chieftans, Adam Duritz of Counting Crows, and U2's Adam Clayton. They breeze through mostly Griffith originals, bolstered by Griffith's unique vocals which sometimes sound like Iris Dement, Suzanne Vega, or Shawn Colvin. Many songs have a strong British Isles influence, a region where Griffith is enormously popular.
It was Nanci who first introduced Julie Gold's classic "From A Distance"; on FLYER she presents Gold's new "Southbound Train." Griffith spreads her own musical wings, flying from country and folk to Tex-Mex swing and rock. The Indigo's harmonies twist like vines with Griffith's vocal on "These Days In An Open Book" a
