It happened again with “From A Distance,” the Julie Gold-written song that Griffith was first to record.
The following year Nanci Griffith, whom Lovett had interviewed for a school paper while he was in college, recorded his “If I Were the Woman You Wanted” on her Once in a Very Blue Moon album. He, too, sang on that album as well as on Griffith’s 1985 album The Last of the True Believers.
