Nanci Griffith's "Poet in My Window"

It is brilliantly performed, and nicely recorded with slight sibilance on a few songs, but nothing that isn't easily tolerated.

A sample, and my favorite of the album...
Side 1, Track 3

Julie Anne

An urban light hits a bartender's smile
'Cause it's closin' time again
Last call rang out such a long time ago
In the heart of Julie Anne
Now she waits inside this midnight glow
to steal her dance of grace
White satin gloves on her hands these days
to cover the dancer's age

And the wintertime's so sweet
Even winos have their needs
They pretend that she's younger
when they are lonely
And the barroom floor's her home
When the lights are low they'll call for more
How it hurts to hear them say that she is only
old Julie Anne

Men don't fear the wells of time
for the years will bring them something
While the women count their wrinkles
and the children in their homes
But if I'm blinded here tomorrow
I am blessed in the beauty of chance
To remember the hands of a bird in flight
In the dance of Julie Anne

Old Julie Anne
Don't go to sleep
Just pick your heart up off that wino's knee
And let the whiskey be your lover
who makes the winter sweet
and warms a dancer's feet
