Emmylou Harris - All I Intended to be - Love this

Yes it's very good, particularly on double vinyl with CD inside. Emmylou emerged from the crysalis of her country roots with Wrecking Ball (1995)-- containing excellent covers of Dylan, Young, Hendrix, & McGarrigles wrapped in Daniel Lanois's typically evocative ambient production. From there she began writing her own material-- Red Dirt Girl(2000) & Stumble into Grace(2003). The latter is IMO her mature & best work.

I'd completely agree with all of Dgarretson's picks with a special fondness for Wrecking Ball. You might also enjoy "Written in Chalk" the new release from Buddy and Julie Miller, as well most of Patty Griffin's albums (the exception might be "Flaming Red" which has a harder sound than her others), who does a few accompaniments on "All I Intended to Be" (which I enjoy very much as well).

I play "The Very Best of Emmylou Harris: Heartaches and Highways" all the time. Pretty good recording quality, and around $10 at Amazon.com

Man, I was checking out her site and found out that Emmylou will be touring with Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin and Buddy Miller ("Three Girls and their Buddy Tour") That's a show I'd not miss. Tickets are currently on sale for at least one venue. Also I was mistaken: Patty Griffin does not sing on "..Intnded..", but her song, "Moon Song", is covered by Harris.
