Dirty Linen (p.42) - "'Up Against the Rain' pays homage to the memory of Griffith's mentor, Townes Van Zandt. 'Across America' points out the optimism and hope in the wake of Obama's election." Billboard (p.36) - "[She] delivers nine top-shelf originals, including many that express poignant political sentiment sans soapbox."

Nanci Griffith has been a shining light in the American roots music community since the 1980s. Considered the female equivalent of maverick singer-songwriters such as Lyle Lovett and Dwight Yoakam, Griffith made several stellar albums that blended country, folk, and twangy rockabilly (she's an avowed Buddy Holly & the Crickets fan) into a sound distinctly her own. The Texas native recorded two albums of cover songs that made clear her influences extended well beyond the Lone Star state, and in 2007 she released RUBY'S TORCH, an album of pop standards and ballads that further extended her grasp on vintage American music.
