The Grace album first exposed Grace Griffith to a national audience. It was rated as one of 1996’s best albums by Spectator Magazine (Raleigh, NC) and The Midnight Special (WFMI, Chicago).
Minstrel Song (2000) brought notice from the UK. “It is Griffith’s clear, soaring voice that dominates everything, somewhat reminiscent of Sandy Denny, but unmistakably individual.
