What song is your fav.Emmylou cut???

I got into E* from listening to her first big studio album. My son bought this and we traded---I can't remember what I gave??,maybe 2 albums to be named later?? Just about every cut is my one of my favs.--"Boulders to Birmingham"-Then we have "Tulsa Queen" off q/moon 10-cent town.--That is my pick;what's yours?

Oh yeah her duets with Gram bring tears and shivers==esp Love Hurts. But lately my fave cut is Bang the Drum Slowly about burying her father in Arlington Cemetery as I did in 2000. Her version of Neil Young's Wrecking Ball is incredible also, if you have anything to regret. I really love the whole album REd Dirt Girl, for recent stuff. Old stuff, Leavin' Louisiana in the Broad Daylight brings back the college memories.

Don't have a favororite as I like lots of her stuff, but I often listen to Gram Parsons "Grievous Angel" album on which she performs.

No favorites, but check her backup/duet work on Guy Clark's albums. I really like her solo work but some of her best work is as a backup singer.
