Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and "folkabilly" artist Nanci Griffith's new album, Ruby's Torch, is a collection of intimate torch songs, some penned by Griffith, others by some of her musical heroes. "Recording an entire record of torch songs has been a dream come true for me," says Griffith, "and something my listeners have been asking me to do for many years." As a special treat for those listeners, Nanci was kind enough to send us this list of some music she loves and thinks they should hear.
