The Last of the True Believers

Untitled

The Last of the True Believers is singer-songwriter Nanci Griffith's fourth album, and her last with the folk music-oriented Philo Records. The acclaim accorded her from her previous Once in a Very Blue Moon and the current album would gain her a contract with a major recording company after this album. Here, Griffith continues her turn toward a more country-oriented work than her first two albums, which were primarily folk-sounding. Mark O'Connor's fiddle playing throughout the album is perhaps the highlight. Although Griffith would later get a major label contract, many of her fans believe that this album is the best of her career.
