Nanci Griffith "The Last of the True Believers" (1986)
I was not familiar with Nanci before this list. She doles out a style
of alt-country and folk that largely still sounds contemporary, due to
artists such as Wilco and Beck continuing to tap into the same vein.
A couple of these songs were covered (with slightly more commercial
success) by singer Kathy Mattea, but these original versions are great,
as is the whole album. If you're into interesting country, this is as
good a place as any to start.
