EmmyLou Harris: "Together Again":

"There are only two kind of men walking this earth, those who are in love with Emmylou and those who have yet to meet her"

It's the first ACL show from 1989 -- where her hair is blonde and she's playing with the original band. Gurf Morlix on guitar. 

Thanks, @stuartk  .  I would have loved to seen her back then.  As I typed previously, it wasn't until sometime after SOW I discovered her.  Actually, it was because of her vocal work on Terry Allen's Human Remains (specifically it was the track Room To Room that I first heard off of that) that started my obsession.  But back then I was too stupid to check the credits and see whose voice that was.  So it wasn't until I bought Steve Earle/I Feel Alright that I made the connection.  And then I bought every Lucinda CD I could find, which were far and few between back then.

So I didn't get her "White Album" until it was reissued and released the same time as Car Wheels.

My introduction to her was "Car Wheels..."

I don't recall whether I bought the "white album" before or after having seen the ACL broadcast. I have the 2CD version that includes live performances. 

These two remain my favorite L. Williams recordings. 

@stuartk  , ah, I misunderstood you, I was thinking you had seen that performance live.  She had a great voice back then (not that she still doesn't, but it has gone through the changes).  After I finally figured out whose voice it was that I was liking so much on those Terry Allen and Steve Earle CDs I referenced, the first Lucinda CD I bought was Happy Woman Blues; I get the feeling that it did not get great critical acclaim, but I loved it then and still do today.  Great writing and imo great vocal work.  I was frontrow at center stage at The Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh for the Poetry Said/Poetry Sung she did with her father.  That was the highlight of my life for a while.

Seen her live?   I wish !  

Saw EmmyLou in '76, though, with the original Hot Band. That was special.
