If you want to hear pure country from her, check out either The Last of the True Believers (was going to be my pick but I changed it at the last moment), Once In a Very Blue Moon or Lone Star State of Mind (I know: those titles, huh?). Her later albums tend to be a little more on the poppy side, and the ones before those kind of veer more in the folk direction.
Edit: Clare is a county in Ireland, which is why the song is titled "From Clare to Here". It's a lament from an Irish immigrant for his homeland. Not actually as old as I thought: written in 1976.

Country is really a genre of Pop music, and has its own charts like pop music does. Country includes influences are wide and varied from (Traditional) Folk, Country Blues. Cowboy Songs, Gospel, Western Swing, Bluegrass, Old Timey etc. Country can be broken up into things like Bakersfield sound, Nashville sound. Bluegrass has five instruments:
If the music is influence by Appalachia traditional music, consist of predominantly acoustic instruments and the sounds lies somewhere between "Folk," Country and Bluegrass I would consider it "Old Timey." St. Olav's Gate The song was also done by Russell and Nanci Griffith together. Since the music is mostly all instrumental it's more Old Timey than Country music. The lyric is closer to Marty Robbins' story telling style and Honky-Tonk drinking song. It's also in 3/3 Waltz time. Fly By Night twangy guitar, pedal steel and drums makes it definitely more Country Looking For The Time Country with Old Timey fiddle.

Meh. These songs didn't need a country-fied interpretation. Did make me want to go listen to some Brooks & Dunn and Pure Prairie League though, so guess that has to count for something.
6 out of 10

Finally Trollheart shows some interest in half decent music and all you could do for him is a "5 out of 10?" We should be encouraging him, not discouraging him.

I upped it one point because the songs are good even if I don't like the interpretations too much.

Thanks for the very helpful notes on separating folk from country, btw!
