Love Emmylou. But can't get to loving this offering.

Really Like This.

Emmylou Harris has had what a great many people feel is a very beautiful voice, for a long time, despite the fact that you apparently believe yourself to be an arbiter of vocal talent.  It's one thing to dislike the sound of her voice, but asserting that she can't sing is another.

Really annoying three songs after Placebos "Bitter End" ...

Our (USA) National Treasure.  EmmyLou..

oh what the hell GODLIKE


OH WAIT said that a year ago ................ hahahaha

Welcome to the world of yum.  I just bought the CD of "All the Roadrunning" with Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. GOOOOD music. Emmylou's "Wrecking Ball" is an excellent piece of work, should you want to invest...

Unusually atmospheric for Emmylou ... Love it!

Oh, honey, I'm not going to make you talk if you don't want to. 
:-) 

I've heard the name...but I've never really heard the music until now. Too bad I've been missing this all my life. Good Stuff!

Good tune.

Turn the lights down and hand me a scotch, . . . oh and turn up the bass     ;-)

emmylou ...

I first saw this woman perfrom 38 years ago in a tiny theater in the round that has since disappeared. She came out in a white cowgirl outfit, complete with white cowgirl boots. I was with one of my buddies and I swear, betweeen songs we both turned to each other and said "I want this woman to have my baby".

As I remember her voice, the music and her band were outstanding, as has every show I have seeen her in.

Sammy Ylanas of the BoDeans confessed onstage that he had a crush on Emmylou Harris, and wrote the song, "She's Waiting For Me Somewhere" for her. Just a little trivia there...

Emmylou has forgotten more about music than most artists have ever learned. She's rather iconic. Granted, she's an acquired taste for some people who adamantly repudiate country music (yup, I was one of those people, once upon a time...) but her history speaks for itself. She's amazing. (P.S. - I love "Wrecking Ball"!)

GODLIKE

 A goodess.  Saw her live awhile back - just an awesome show. 

I was lucky enough to see Emmylou at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz after Wrecking Ball.
She put on a Concert acoustic guitar that was almost as big as she was.

And she is HUGE!

Yea, I don't like them either. However, I do like this song; I just wish she would tone down that warble, just a leeetle bit!

Boring, boring, boring.  She should be singing with the Cowboy Junkies.

   When Emmylou Harris released "Red Dirt Girl" on Sept. 12th 2006, she was a nine-time Grammy winner.  This is her first studio LP since 1995's Wrecking Ball, she wrote 11 of the album's 12 cuts. Don't cha be bad-mouthing the woman of my (and 9 out of 10 other guys)  dreams, buck-o. She is an obviously very talented singer-songwriter, with the voice of an angel, and knock your cowboy hat in the dirt looks !
 Check her in concert with Mark Knopfler..     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HoOR8OhuRM&feature=related
   Song : "This is us"

I hope you translate that attitude toward J J Cale and Eric Clapton also.

A marginal talent when she was young whose voice has become increasingly limited to a one octave range as she's gotten older.  Too bad she can't transform some of her good looks into a good voice.

:Love it!

and Emmylou just keeps getting better ...

Say what you like, this is a damn good song.

Now that I know that Patty Griffin wrote several of the songs that Emmylou Harris made famous,
I just don't feel the same way a Emmylou as I did.  I think that Patty Griffin is a much greater talent,
both as a singer and as a song writer.  It's a shame that Patty isn't as famous as Emmylou, because
she certainly should be.
