Here is one of the most joyous musical films of all time. Nanci Griffith with the help of her Blue Moon Orchestra sings songs from her album, Other Voices Other Rooms in a live concert. The film begins with Nanci Sitting on a Diving board over a drained 12 foot pool at her old school, playing her guitar, and ends with the outstanding concert. I'd reccomend it wholeheartedly to anybody that doesn't know about Nanci Griffith. I imagine that those who love her won't need any encouragement.--Robert Metz

I am a big Nanci Griffith fan and LOVE this video. The concert footage is superb and the interviews with the people who wrote the songs she performed on the album (most of who made guest appearances on the video) were wonderful as well. If you like music (folk, country, whatever) BUY THIS VIDEO. You will not be disappointed.

I bought the album as soon as it was released in New Zealand after seeing Nanci on the Bob Dylan anniversary concert video singing "Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather". Apart from this video and the guest appearance with the Chieftans it was hard to obtain videos of Nanci in this country. I have most of her albums. This video is superb. The quality of the concert production is excellent. The background dialog gives you an appreciation of her background. The songs performed are not exactly as per the album which is a bonus as you get to appreciate other ways of producing the songs. The feeling that comes over is the commitment and honesty of Nanci. She communicates with her audience on an awesome level and this is translated into the viewer's experience. This video is a must for all Nanci fans and lovers of mainstream country.

I don't buy concert videos, but "Other Voices Other Rooms" is the exception. It is a live performance of Nanci's Grammy winning album, with such great guest star performances from Iris Dement, Emmylou Harris, Jimmy Dale Gilmore and many more. It had a great celebratory feel to it. There's plenty of interviews with Nanci and crew as well as a bonus video in the end. The video is a treat because it so hard to see Nanci's videos on the usual music channels. So if you like Nanci griffith or just a fan of great music, check out this video. END

This was a wonderful concert celebrating a landmark album from Nanci Griffith. The guest artists were superb. Please release on DVD !!

Unbelieveable. One of the top live performances of all time is not available on DVD?

Nanci Griffith has put together one of the important CDs of our time. Her energy, musical skill, and personality helped bring together some songs and songwriters whose voices (along with many others who couldn't be included) have been neglected by mainstream media for many years. For those who haven't been exposed to this music, most will be happily surprised to find that such talent not only exists, but is available to be heard.

Well, most of it can be found on youtube, but a pristine DVD of this VHS tape would be a great addition to any library of American music.

And Nanci Griffith, unbelieveably, may be the greatest under-appreciated talent of all.
