New Nanci Griffith

The legendary singer-songwriter Nanci Griffith has a new album called The Loving Kind and she's offering a free download of the title song about a Louisiana court judge's decision to back an interracial marriage. Richard and Mildred Loving were a married white man and black woman who were forced to leave their native state of Virginia under threat of arrest because of the state’s Jim Crow law prohibiting marriages between different races. The 1967 landmark civil rights case - Loving v. Virginia - ended the ban on interracial marriage. Griffith captures the story in this classic, timeless story-song that Griffith has been known for throughout her career.
