I am not a country fan but like her and this CD. First one I have ever heard from her. Any fans out there that can suggest some other great CD's by her?
emmylous boxset songbird is great and it is always in heavy rotation in my listening room,the packaging could be improved but the music and quality are both very good
Her 'Duets' album has some absolutely wonderful pairings, Emmylou with Roy Orbison, George Jones, Gram Parsons, Willie Nelson, Neil Young (and a couple of really unfortunate ones.) It really shows off her ability to make any singer and any song better.
Don't forget her recent collaboration with Mark Knopfler, "All the Road Running."
She's the Godmother of Alt Country. She makes other country female stars look silly. I don't know what her secret is but she is one of the most well preserved women I have ever seen.
I love music of this ilk, but I have never been able to appreciate Grievous Angel.
Big fan. Saw her live 4/5 times-(can't rem.exactly how many x's) Saw her at the Palomino 2 or 3--Saw here at the Roxy on Sunset (had great seats) Saw her at the Greek or Hol.Bowl,can't remember which. Dolly came out of the audience and sang a couple of songs with her. My favs are all the first--'cept Gliding Bird which are actually bad. I never liked it when she would try to have a hard edge. That hard edge just ain't her forte. Her first big debut: Bolder to Birmingham --My fav. not a mediocre song on either side. I actually think her "here there and everywhere" is better than fab4's also her Pancho & Lefty is more to my liking than Cash and I think Kris K's version.---Love that voice.
Check out the DVD of the Real Live Roadrunning tour to see her perform some great songs, including Red Dirt Girl and Born to Run. She is a true beauty and sings like an angel.
