Emmylou Harris (BBC4)

Posted by: jim learoyd on 13 October 2007

Really enjoyed Emmylou Harris on BBC4 last night. I have just ordered "Red Dirt Girl" and "The Ballad of Sally Rose".
Has anybody got "Songbird" her latest cd? This looks very interesting.

Songbird is really just a collection of Emmylous personal favs and some rare stuff. Will possibly get around to buying it one day. If you like her why not try her Anthology as it is an easy way of buying a cross selection of her earlier WB/Reprise stuff or Portraits the box set. My personal favs have always Wrecking Ball, Cowgirls Prayer, Elie Hotel,Pieces of the Sky, Roses in the Snow and Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent town.

In fact Jim you should also start listening to Rodney Crowell now IMHO his best albums are...............think I will leave that for another day Winker

I'm not the greatest fan of Emmylou Harris, though I certainly don't dislike her music, but I must say Wrecking Ball is a fantastic album.

ROTF

I agree, it's certainly one of her best.
