''The Loving Kind'' is the 19th album by singer-songwriter Nanci Griffith. It was released June 9, 2009 on Rounder Records. Comprising thirteen songs (A fourteenth was released as a bonus track on iTunes), it was her first release of all new material since 2005. The album tackles political topics such as Loving vs. Virginia ("The Loving Kind") and capital punishment ("Not Innocent Enough"), as well as songs about Griffith's heroes, such as Townes Van Zandt ("Up Against the Rain").〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Nanci )〕 BBC Music gave the album a generally positive review, stating that "It does sound like her muse is finally on the mend."
==Lyrics and inspiration==
The lyrics in ''The Loving Kind'' are much more political than Griffith's previous work. The song ''The Loving Kind'' was written after Griffith read an obituary of Mildred Loving, the plaintiff in the 1967 U.S. Supreme Court case ''Loving v. Virginia'' that invalidated laws prohibiting interracial marriage.
"Money Changes Everything" and "Things I Don't Need" reflect the economic downturn that took place as the album was being written. "Up Against the Rain" and "Cotton" were written about Townes Van Zandt and Lyndon B. Johnson, while "Not Innocent Enough" is about Phillip Workman, a man who was sentenced to death after the shooting of a police officer. "Across America" is about Barack Obama's campaign, while "Still Life" is a glaring criticism of George W. Bush. "Sing" is an autobiographical song about Griffith's love for Folk and Country Music.
