Saw her on Letterman last week.  Her voice is still very very good and I have to agree it has aged well.

This whole album is a stunner. I wish I could live inside these songs. The warmth and sensuality of the arrangements combined with her vocals puts an ache in my heart every time.

And she keeps doing it, singing and now writing marvelously. A distinguished 40+ year career that doesn't seem to have peaked..  Our national treasure.

{#Lol} Oh, you're just incorrigible.  Accurate, but incorrigible.  And anyway, Emmylou Harris is an icon, as is Daniel Lanois. The two of them working together make some pretty breathtaking magic...

She has a good voice, but that over elongated warble just goes on a little too long for me when she does that!{#Stop}

I really like Lanois's version of this song on one of his solo records ("Here is what is").  Emmylou's is awesome too!

I think Daniel Lanois and Emmylou Harris complement each other beautifully in this piece.

"Where will I be when that trumpet sounds?"

The combination of voice and guitar create the sound of a trumpet's song heralding the morning or perhaps, more fittingly, the evening.

She still has one of the greatest back-up / duet voices in folk.

I have heard her, since this release of the mid '90's, in much better voice. I posted in another song of hers that I think she is an "American Treasure". A great artist.

RP's been pretty Emmylou-heavy lately, and for the most part that's just fine by me. This particular song, though, I don't much care for.

Though I don't know if thats good, an artist should sound like they sound, not like they've been pressed thru the Lanois Sound Factory.

*shrug*

:-k


Interesting. How do you know when an artist sound like they ..sound?

Is that the case when an artist does the recording and production on their own?

As regards Lanois and other producers with a distinctive musical signature - why hire such a talent if you want something documented first and foremost, if you're not interested in what they can offer?

I'm not a big fan of music that I think of as "country," but I love Emmylou. She has such a sweet, soulful voice.

Not a single track, but Robbie's entire debut. Every one of those people, except Emmylou, appear on it. Now, if we could just get them all together... :-)

Excellent tune.

Nice tune from Emmylou, the only one missing from Robbie's album. Ah, I miss the old Geffen days.

Yes, sounds very much like early U2 with Emmy on vocals. Even her singing sounds a bit like Bono's style. So........ is this original Emmy or processed Emmy? Well, maybe she likes how she sounds here??

To me, this makes her song more likable - I'm really not into her, but this somehow clicks with me. Quite possibly because I love U2 from their Lanois years.
