Review by Miftahul Jannah

Nanci Griffith's album Marilyn Monroe Neon and Waltzes is a stunning tribute to the iconic Hollywood star. The album is a blend of classic country and folk music, with Griffith's signature storytelling style shining through in each track.

The album opens with the title track "Marilyn Monroe Neon and Waltzes," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Griffith's voice is soft and sweet, yet powerful enough to convey the emotions of the lyrics.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Love at the Five and Dime," a touching love story set in a small-town diner, and "From a Distance," a powerful anthem of hope and unity.

Griffith's songwriting skills are on full display throughout the album, with each track telling a unique story and painting a vivid picture in the listener's mind. The instrumentation is also top-notch, with the use of fiddles, mandolins, and acoustic guitars adding to the album's country and folk roots.
