There's a Light Beyond These Woods was singer-songwriter Nanci Griffith's debut album. It was recorded live to two-track over four days, December 9 to 11, 1977 and January 3, 1978, in Austin, Texas. Griffith wrote most of its songs, as she would on almost all of her subsequent albums. The album was originally released in 1978 on the independent B.F. Deal label and reissued in 1982 on Featherbed Records. The album being auctioned was re-released in 1986 after Nanci signed with Philo Records.
The album cover features a photograph of Griffith taken in the autumn of 1978, tinted by Frank Golden, as well as lettering by her then husband, Eric Taylor. The cover was designed by Pat Alger and Griffith's father, Marlin Griffith.
All tracks are written by Nanci Griffith except as indicated.
