Description


The Working In Corners boxset includes Nanci Griffith’s first four albums: There’s A Light Beyond These Woods, Poet In My Window, Once In A Very Blue Moon, and Grammy nominated The Last of The True Believers. The set includes expansive liner notes by producer Jim Rooney and writer Holly Gleason, along with rare photographs. 

There's a Light Beyond These Woods is Griffith's debut album and was recorded live to two-track in 1977 and 1978. All but two of the nine songs were penned by Griffith.

Poet In My Window is Griffith's second album, released in 1982. All but one track are written by Griffith.

Once in a Very Blue Moon, Griffith's third album, was released in 1984 and had more of a country sound than her previous work. This album is different from her previous in the inclusion of more instrumentation; musicians Béla Fleck, Mark O'Connor, Pat Alger, Lloyd Green, and more appear on this record. The title song was covered by Dolly Parton in 1985.

The Last of the True Believers was released in 1986, and Griffith continues her turn into a more country-oriented sound. It also includes "Love at the Five and Dime" and "Goin' Gone," which were later hits for Kathy Mattea. This album was nominated for a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
