Emmylou Harris Discussion Forum the 3rd

I'm really sorry about your dad, Vic. Iskrena sućut.

I'm not a Harris' fan. I'm just find her music very good to excellent.

OT: Regarding the future, in any case, rich will get richer, poor poorer; luckily, I'm just a little bit on the richer side of the divide.

Yes, I have noticed that emotions run high regarding Ms. Harris... she casts a long shadow :) But it's interesting how Mr Christgau tosses away the CP. Yes, it's "just rock" for us , but for someone else it's their profession, something that brings money to table, and they are doing it bes...

My whereabouts are displayed next to my posts :) I think we have moved away from the album discussion. What do you think about (Robert Christgau): Cowgirl's Prayer [Asylum, 1993] "Jerusalem Tomorrow" Choice Cuts Wrecking Ball [Elektra, 1995] The reason Harris's instant comeback is an irrit...

Well I was in England only once and noticed strange electricity plugs and a lot of Pakistani restaurants :) Regarding the cultural issue, I was refrerring to the following problems: I don't recognize for instance quote of KJ Bible instantly as most English/Americans will.

In my opinion and some will know how eclectic my own music tastes can be, you are reading far too m...

I noticed that Cowgirl's Prayer (CP) sounds much more diverse than Wrecking Ball (WB), at least to me. I mean I listened to "alternative music" a lot, distorted guitars and strange sounds are/were not really new to me. For example, tempo of CP is changing all the time: 1 slow song 2 slow s...

Hi all, Sorry for opening yet another thread, but there's no appropriate one :) I would like to hear (read) opinions from long-time fans about those two albums, how they compare against Ms. Harris' work before them, and after them. And how they compare to the latest one, Hard Bargain. Are they "...

What is immediately striking about the Sally Rose is that there's a "regularity" under it. On the vinyl -- at least what I have found on the Internet -- there are actually 12 songs, 6 on each side. http://pixhost.info/avaxhome/aa/97/001a97aa_medium.jpeg Now, the first song on each side is ...

Hi all, Well, something is available on the Internet -- Google Books has (have?) scans of Billboard from that era -- complete with Ms. Harris receiving a kind of recommendation from Washington DC (or some official from the city) during the Sally Rose tour. Here are some articles I have found: ⋅...
