Continuing in the Nanci Griffith re-masters we are given Poet In My Window, Nanci’s sophomore album. While Poet In My Window may not be for Griffith newcomers, there is much to rejoice in the re-mastering of this album. There are many great songs and signs of a maturing artist. One of the most amazing things is that Nanci has written all the tracks on Poet, all but Jimmie Dale Gilmore’s “Tonight I Think I’m Gonna Go Downtown�. Her voice is becoming stronger and more defined with amazing lyrics to sing. While the songs don’t quite grab you as instantly like the tracks on Once In A Very Blue Moon. There are exceptions like “Wheels� a great storytelling song. In retrospect, this is a brilliant sophomore album from an artist who we would watch grow up even more and become a country / folk legend in her own time.
