All right...I quit. Emmylou is a goddess, but I need rock n roll.
I'm going to Radioio.
See ya.

I've been in love w/ this woman for more than 40 years. Just wasn't as cool as Gram Parsons (who was?).

This is the only country album I own........and it all started out with this piece. That's good, I suppose?
Harlan is a city in Harlan County, Kentucky, United States. The population was 1745 at the 2010 census and was estimated at 1880 in 2007. It is the county seat ...

Normally really like Emmylou, but I really don't care for this song at all. Oh well.  |

I'm going back to Harlan, to Harlan, to Harlan, I'm going back to Harlan, I don't think so.
Let LL Cool J do this next.

Naw, you don't want help. Just relax and go with it. I've never been a huge country-western fan, either, but there are so many good artists out there, I'd be crazy to fight against opening my mind and ears to new things. Kudos to you, rulebritannia - your world just expanded. (Cool, innit?)  |

Is that Harlan County Kentucky? Is Marshall Raylan Givens gonna come and gun you down Emmylou?

Ah, I love this song! This whole album is one of all-tim favourites. Daniel Lanois's soundscapes match remarkably well with Emmylou's wonderful voice.

A most excellent song but the Lillith Fair version live was/is incredible.

I am so sorry and a bit off-topic, but I am a huge Govt. Mule fan ... but a few or many years ago after Woody, I went to see Mule and somebody in my path had a shirt on that said " Warren is a Whore".... I want to enjoy Emmy ... there is just so much and it seems so dilute... I am confused about "is it all" quality or is she just good?

Thanks for introducing me to this album, Bill. It was in my player for 2 weeks straight when I bought it. |

Completely disagree. |

Great song from a career-redefining album for Emmylou. Besides Neil Young, it features guest performances from Steve Earle, Larry Mullen and Lucinda Williams.  |

She sounds a bit like Stevie Nicks, and that ain't good.

I loved her back in the day but her voice seems to have gone through the ringer. I cringe the last few years listening to her. Sorry, but that's how I feel. I do however enjoy some of the harmony vocals she's done in recent years (ie w/Marc knopfler, etc) but NOT as the lead vocal any longer....I'll just go cringe in my corner now....

Folks like Patty Griffin & or in this case the McGarrigles, do their own stuff exponentially better. Emmylou mainstreams it, takes out the heartbreak, that gorgeous cracking open that I love. Emmylou just doesn't go far enough emotionally. Wow. To me, ELH brings out a level of feeling in songs that few of the original artists can touch. I hear much more depth and musicality in her performances that few others of her genre have. |
