CLOCK WITHOUT HANDS is a reflective set, highlighting Nanci Griffith's preoccupations with Vietnam, land mine clearance, and the death of her mother. She continues her habit of writing deceptively simple songs not with an eye to the charts (unusual enough in a major 21st century artist), but in the old-fashioned songwriter's way of telling a story and making a point.
A good example is "Truly Something Fine," where Griffith is joined by Linda Ronstadt in a simple, bittersweet love song with a chorus that could have been written anytime in the past hundred years. James Hooker's "Cotton," dripping with Southern atmosphere, is a Stephen Foster/Randy Newman-esque piece about hooking up with an old lover. Griffith's at her best, however, on highly personal ballads such as "Last Song for My Mother," conveying more emotional weight in two minutes and forty seconds than some artists manage over a whole album.

Professional Reviews

Entertainment Weekly (9/7/01, pp.164-5) - "...With her softly twanging, lovely, and wise voice...the real treasure here is her deeply felt tunes...Griffith is the real deal..." - Rating: B+

Q (9/01, p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Country music's hummability meets folk's conscience amid a landscape of emotional full stops..."

CMJ (8/4/01, p.25) - "...Smooth, vibrant melodies and tender reflective lyrics..."

No Depression (9-10/01, pp.139-40) - "...Intimacy is the key, gradually turned and lathed, that unlocks Griffith's greater artistry..."

Mojo (Publisher) (9/01, p.112) - "...An excellent addition to the Griffith canon..."
