Today I would like to pay my most deserved tribute simultaneously to two important personalities of traditional American folk music and universal, Woody Guthrie and Emmylou Harris, and in doing so, firmly, leaving here a video with title "Emmylou Harris singing "Hobo's Lullaby" (Woody Guthrie's tribute)". Just to also remember that Woody Guthrie guitar labeled "This Machine Kills Fascists".
This performance also features the collaboration of Sam Bush, playing American bluegrass mandolin. The song "Hobo's Lullaby" was written by Goebel Reeves (1899-1959), a texan singer and songwriter.

Maybe...but they have a lot of years ahead of them...don't write them off too soon. |

I still don't have the answer to the question, but I do know that Emmylou Harris has all the answers. She just chooses to divulge those answers in her own sweet time. And she does it in her own sweet way. Some people fight to protect... some to take from the weak... some to vent anger... some to have fun... and some just because they ain't got shit to do. |

And an extremely accomplished mandolinist. But why compare? Enjoy the two, joined by Linda Rondstadt on the Trio recordings they published.
If that info confounds you, imagine how you'll feel to discover that Charo is a celebrated Flamenco guitarist. Next I'll be claiming that 1940's beauty Queen/Actress Hedy Lamarr was a scientist who created weapons systems for the Allies. |

Yea, Emmylou is cool and everything as long as you don't get her warbling, it's like a big ball rolling down hill, she just can't stop and it drags on waaaaaay too long! |

I never really liked or 'got' C&W and so never listened to Emmylou, I think that may have to change.
Thanks for opening my ears RP.

"atkins influenced countless players icluding george harrison,carl perkins,vince gill.he left a permanent mark on the way country guitar playing is done.he was as original as he was classy,and Gretch guitars named a guitar after him the "Gretch Country Gentleman" guitar.this was the model george harrison mostly used in the studio and live on stage.he was an important pioneer in nashville records. " dempsey981 "Good call...by the way, Chet has cut albums with Pops and Orchestras, Andres Segovia, etc...and as far as metal, on an album called Stay Tuned, Chet and Steve Lukather did a tune together called Stay Tuned...Steve of course, was blazing..with Chet hitting every lick, in harmony, on a fairly clean guitar..a bit of delay is about it. Chet was amazing as a guitarist and a human being. " brainlowe

Could be. To be honest I'm not that familiar with her stuff. As for Emmylou Harris - I bought that album when it came out and still listen to it occasionally. I like a lot of her other stuff too. I guess I'm just not in a "country" mood today. |

This is a fabulous album. U2's Larry Mullen drums on a lot of it, including this song.

"Is there anybody on the planet that this woman can't sing with. I heard a comment once that everything tastes better with peanut butter on it and everything sounds better with Emmylou in it. I bought this cd and have about wore out this track."

I like the way she has muted her voice so that the background music builds ominously.
