My son, less than a week old, with a fever and screaming non-stop, late at night. One of the late shows was on and Emmylou, Dolly, and Linda started singing "After The Gold Rush". Could have been the hormones, but at that moment their voices were the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. Tears running down my cheeks, I watched to the end and when I glanced down my little baby son was out cold. I've always wanted to thank them for that.😊
Emmylou cut an album with Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), worth checking out. Besides the album, they released a concert DVD which is very well recorded and filmed.
Emmylou has the best voice. She was my dad’s favorite singer. I suggest From Boulder to Birmingham; it will get you right in the feelings. She wrote it after Gram Parsons died.
She’s probably my favorite female country artist of all time. Having said that, “Til I Can Gain Control Again” is her best song. “Boulder To Birmingham” a close second.
The story in the song "Red Dirt Girl", is one of the saddest stories ever sung! Still, it's worth the tears to listen. Emmylou is a national treasure! Cheers\=/\=/
Try Emmylou & Gram Parsons early 1970s recordings (1st Country/Rock Music) like the Eagles! I met Emmylou in 1972 at a party when she was about 17 in Woodbridge Virginia (before Gram discovered her) she was playing at a club in Bethesda Maryland at that time. Her dad was a Marine Corps Officer stationed at Quantico and lived in Woodbridge not far from Hoadly in Prince William County where my Cousin Ronnie and myself had a 'Snake Ranch' after we came back from Vietnam.. Emmylou is a Legend today :)
Emmylou is the real deal and as authentic as they come. There's a reason she and Dolly and Linda made such beautiful music together. They were birds of a feather. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂
I am very happy to see J n A finally do Emmy! I agree with all the other suggestions from her I've seen. One I didn't see that is not very well known but will grip you to the core. A song that sad yet full of hope at the same time. Red Dirt Girl.
Some others you might check out: Beneath Still Waters, Blue Kentucky Girl, Save The Last Dance For Me, Two More Bottles Of Wine...and, of course, the trio she sang with in the soundtrack to O Brother Where Art Thou: she, Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch sang Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby....just an INCREDIBLE VOICE - and, SO PRETTY, TOO! :)
So happy you brought back the great Emmylou! Born To Run, Two More Bottles of Wine, Love Hurts (with Gram Parsons), Do I Ever Cross Your Mind (with Dolly & Linda), Where Will I Be, Red Dirt Girl, Boulder to Birmingham. She has such a long, deep, varied discography to explore and has sang with so many legends. Please keep listening.
I've been listening to this lady for over 50 years, from the moment I heard her singing duet harmony with Linda on "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You)." I've been to see her five times, the most recent of which was late 2022 with my wife. It was our last concert together - I lost my wife just one year ago. Emmylou was one of the artists I could play anytime and Darlene would drop what she was doing and walk over to hug me. We had so many wonderful hours just listening, and sometimes dancing, to Emmylou through 45 years of marriage. Those memories are eternal treasures. And every song mentioned in the comments below is a worthy listen, but I'll give a special mention to Wayfaring Stranger.
OMG. Finally, some more Emmylou! One of the very best voices in the industry. Forgot to mention Linda Ronstadt used to say Emmylou's voice was like "cracked crystal". Beautiful.
OMG - gonna CRY before I even WATCH!!! :) LOVE EMMYLOU HARRIS!! Such a very sweet voice - she, Dolly, & Linda made such a GREAT FORCE, TOGETHER!! Can't wait to see your reaction to this one!! HUGS!
Once you start looking for Emmy Lou, you will find her everywhere. Not only is she a great artist on her own, she sings harmony with so many of the best. Beautiful voice. Thanks!
I agree. Even better would be to do a reaction to that entire movie, THE LAST WALTZ. They have already done their reaction to “The Weight”, with The Band and The Staples. One of the best concert movies of all time. And also tells the story of The Band.
Another great balad cover is Emmylou singing - Together Again from 1976 on the TV Show -TOPPOP: Emmylou Harris - Together Again ( Live ) on UA-cam. Cannot get more traditional old Country....
I suggested this one a LONG time ago - thrilled that you finally got to it! Just an amazing song - Emmylou has one of the most beautiful voices of all time!
Emmy started out as total folk artist. Then Gram Parsons got her singing what he called "Cosmic American Music". Wish y'all would react to Emmylou and Gram doing LOVE HURTS or "Boulder to Birmingham" (She is from Birmingham, BTW) is a song written by Emmylou Harris and Bill Danoff which first appeared on Harris's 1975 album Pieces of the Sky. It has served as something of a signature tune for the artist and recounts her feelings of grief in the years following the death of country rock star and mentor Gram Parsons. She was also one of the first of the County Rock genre along w/ Gram and of course the Eagles.
For a twist, listen to Bob Dylan's "Desire" album, Emmylou's backing vocals are all over that album. Her work with Gram Parsons is legendary. For some more of her solo work, I suggest the studio version of "Red Dirt Girl." One of her finest, imo.
My dad would see Emmylou Harris play at some bar in DC in probably 1970 when she wasn’t famous and he said there were probably 2 other people there. He never said he completely fell in love with her 100% unattainable and amazing self - but I am CERTAIN it happened.
Early in her career she had found a great singing partner, Gram Parsons. She was touring with him and started to make a name for herself. Unfortunately, he died suddenly from a heroin overdose. Emmylou was devastated and depressed. Linda Ronstadt took her under her wing and brought her to live with her in L.A. Linda coaxed her out of her dark place and got her some connections to restart her career and the rest is history. She has said Linda is an exceptional human being and she’ll be forever in her debt. They remain great friends. I strongly recommend that you check out “The Sound of my Voice” either on your movie channel or just for your own enjoyment. It’s a fascinating trip through Linda’s career and musical journey. Love you guys 🌺✌️
This is from her third album in 1976. She can't be confined to one genre, she explored and mixed a lot of them throughout her career (which still goes on). One of a kind, unique voice too.
Emmy Lou is beautiful, a country legend and my favorite female country artist. Her rendition of Buck Owens' Love's Gonna Live here Again is absolutely beautiful and my favorite of all her great songs.
Emmy Lou is a traveling musician, she often backs up legends. Neil Young, James Taylor, and others. She is also is a big part of the " Oh Brother Where Art Thow" harmonizing with Allison Krauss.
Oh, I love Emmylou! She's one of the best! Check out First Aid Kit! They are 2 sisters from Sweden, and they made Emmylou cry when they sang for her. Take care 🙂
I own all of Emmylou's music and have seen her live 35x. She is often referred to as the Godmother of Americana music. She has some songs that rock also.
I have fallen in love with Emmylou Harris over the last few years! "Luxury Liner" is a great album and a top 5 all-time favorite album is her "Cimarron" album. Her song "Born to Run" has an interlude that resembles a train also in it (which I recommend the song also) but I LOVE "If I Needed You" duet with Don Williams and her cover of "Pancho and Lefty!" She's coming to Massachusetts soon and I might be going!
Something you may like, look for Emmylou Harris, Willy Neilson, and Daniel Lanois preforming "The Maker" it is a Daniel Lanois song, he is another Canadian artist on his own, but has also a world class producer, of many great artists and albums. U2, Emmilou, Willy Neilson, Peter Gabriel, many more.
There's never been a singer and a backup band that blended together than Emmylou and her Hot Band. Her musicians were terrific, however they knew she was the star and they were there to compliment her. That's what made them, and her, truly great. You won't hear anything like this today.
You have listened to her before along with Dolly and Linda Ronstadt in one of the songs from Trio. Then they recorded another album with Trio 2. Absolutely fabulous voice she has.
You should definitely include EmmyLou in your Female Friday reactions. As someone who was stuck in a loveless, unhappy marriage, I loved her song, "One of These Days," and "To Daddy." They gave me hope that one day I would be free.
“Sweet Old World” - Emmylou with Neil Young backing harmonies. This song is so beautiful it brings me to tears every time. Great on her own, Emmylou is a master of duet harmonies. Must check out duets with Gram Parsons. “Love Hurts” might be the best. Also, there’s a fabulous duet with Beck covering a Gram Parsons song on a Tribute to Gran Parsons album. The song is called “Sin City”. It’s a real gem. Pick any one of these songs, and you’ll be blown away.
The pureness of her voice has made her one of the most fatures background/backup singers ever. She has probably appeared on more recordings as a featured artist for more performers than anyone ever...not only in country but rock as well. If you made a list of every song she's appeared on, she would be one of the most recorded voices of all time.
Hey guys, I only recently discovered your channel, I'm really enjoying it. I am not sure if you I have to donate to request a song. I don't seeen any information about requirements to do a request. So, I am going to take a shot in the dark and request a song anyway. I would like to see you react to a couple of songs from an album titled, Modern of country and western music, by Ray Charles, especially, " I Can't Stop Loving You " and " You Don't Know Me. ." Ray was told this album would ruin his career, he did it anyway and followed up with a second one. Instead of ruining his career it introduced a lot of new fans to him. Thank you so much for what you are doing.
A year or so back, y'all did Deana Carter, Strawberry Wine and fell in love with her voice. Time to get back to her and Did I Shave My Legs for This would be a great one to listen to.
I've been a fan of hers since the late 70's. She had real hand in appreciating Country music. Before, that genre had been my parent's music (you know, forced to listen to on long road trips). A voice like an angel. And with Linda & Dolly? Nothing better!
Two More Bottles of Wine is wonderful song by her. Also, any of the collage she did with Dolly Part in and Linda Ronstadt. She also sings on several songs with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album Will The Circle Be Unbroken, volume II.
Another great early one by Emmylou is, "Gram Parsons, "Return of the Grievous Angel, with Emmylou Harris" (recorded 1973) Just like many people, I wonder if they were in love. There is also a great version of this tune that Emmylou did later w/ Ryan Adams.
Oh wow, someone actually reacting to Emmylou singing this song. This is my very favorite song by her. But now that I'm listening to this version, which isn't the studio version, I'm really missing that haunting harmonica accompaniment.
Nice! I think some of Harris' best up-beat and blue-grassy songs are the ones with "The Hot Band", like Steve Earle's "Guitar Town", and her collaborations with Rodney Crowell. I love listening to Emmylou and Delbert McClinton sing "Two more bottles of wine".
Anything from her album Roses in the Snow is top shelf bluegrass you will Love and show cases her vocal abilities! Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt, Willie Nelson are on this record with her!
Grew up listening to Emmylou, my mom was( and still is) as big a fan as myself. You should fall down the Emmylou rabbit hole. Boulder to Birmingham, Born to Run, Blue Kentucky Girl, C'est la Vie, Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town, could go on and on
This is the song that made me fall in love with her, as if she wasn't already one of the most beautiful women on the planet. As Willie Nelson said, if you don't love her you have never met her. Woman has almost perfect pitch and in the words of Dolly Parton just has a gift for approaching a song with the perfect technique. Check the same one out on the live Old Grey Whistle Test version - you can barely tell it from the original. Her guitar player at the time was Albert Lee, one of the very best to pick up the instrument. Also from the live OGWT is the song 'Luxury Line 40 Tons of Steel' which is some of the best guitar pickin' I've ever heard. My personal fav of hers is 'Two More Bottles of Wine'.
Grew up on Emmylou! She sings backing vocals on a song by Ryan Adams (not to be confused with Bryan Adams) called "Oh My Sweet Carolina" from his "Heartbreaker"album that's definitely worth checking out. Ryan has worked with some big names like Willie Nelson, Gillian Welch and Sheryl Crow. Has a rock/folk/country vibe to his tunes. I think you both would dig his style!
I've always liked her singing "To Daddy" which is a Dolly Parton penned song and Dolly later recorded it was well but Emmylou asked Dolly if she could cut the song and Dolly said yes.
Love me some Emmylou Harris! Speaking of Tulsa, did you two know that Heart and Cheap Trick are performing two concerts in your state in May??? Go to their website and check it out! If you can make it I am sure you would love the show! And speaking of Heart, please add "Dog and Butterfly" live and their cover of Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore"!! Peace out!
YES!!! I think I suggested this song from Emmylou back when you guys first started. There is a live version of this song she performed on a show called The Old Grey Whistle Test with Albert Lee and Rodney Crowell on guitars but you guys might not can use that video. I met Emmylou at a meet & greet after one of her shows a few years ago. She was so nice. She was born in Birmingham, AL and I live in Huntsville, AL and she was telling me she has family that lives in my area. I hope to see her in concert again soon.
I love her voice. She writes many of her own songs, but her covers are wonderful. She's what I call a purist. Sings original lyrics without changing the gender when the lyrics are in 1st person, often like L Ronstadt. I 1st heard her on the radio while in art class in HS, maybe 1975. A beautiful voice was singing The Beatles tune, Here, There & Everywhere. "Who is THAT?" So began my love affair with Emmylou. I see suggestions for her duet with Gram Parsons of the Boudreaux Bryant song, Love Hurts. Good idea. It's great. Nazareth had a big hit with it in 1974. That one is worth a listen as well, if you haven't already. Blessings ❤
Emmylou, one of my all time favorites. Seen her live over a dozen times going back to the late 1970’s. How about some Tammy Wynette, “Til I Can Make It On My Own”.
This is from the 1976 "Luxury Liner" album from Emmylou which is a fantastic album that I bought new way back then (still have it). The title track "Luxury Liner" is a rocker and Emmylou's version of "Pancho And Lefty" is the definitive version IMO. Y'all need to check out both of these gems from her.
Thanks for showing some love to Emmylou Harris. She is one of my top artists of all time. I've seen her perform live a number of times through years. Just a suggestion for some women you may want to check out. Dusty Trails (ft. Emmylou Harris) - "Order Coffee" Sheryl Crow - "My Favorite Mistake" Hole - "Malibu" Garbage - "Only Happy When It Rains" Jewel - "Who Will Save Your Soul" Luscious Jackson - "Naked Eye"
Emmylou is an amazing songwriter. One of my favorites is "Strong Hand", a song she wrote when June Carter Cash passed away. That's another person you should listen to. Talk about country music royalty! June was from the amazing Carter Family and an artist in her own right before she married Johnny Cash. She wrote "Ring of Fire", one of the greatest songs about love ever written.
Willy Nelson once said, “There are two kinds of men. Those who are in love with Emmylou Harris, and those that haven’t met her.”
She did a sweet of "Poncho and Lefty" with Willie
How does any man NOT love Emmylou?
Emmylou is classic country. She had a supergroup trio with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt. Their voices blend so well.
My son, less than a week old, with a fever and screaming non-stop, late at night.
One of the late shows was on and Emmylou, Dolly, and Linda started singing "After The Gold Rush". Could have been the hormones, but at that moment their voices were the most beautiful thing I had ever heard.
Tears running down my cheeks, I watched to the end and when I glanced down my little baby son was out cold.
I've always wanted to thank them for that.😊
I love Emmylou Harris but she isn't classic country lol
I love that steel guitar also. The solo enhances the song and doesn't take away from her singing😊
Jay and Amber have reacted to the Trio, a couple of times. You should check those out.
@@goldenboy140 What are you talking about?!?!? Emmylou is about as country as you could get!!! She has an amazing voice!!! You sir are so misguided!!!
❤ Her beautiful voice is like Folk meets Country meets Bluegrass. Always have loved her. ❤
Emmylou cut an album with Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), worth checking out. Besides the album, they released a concert DVD which is very well recorded and filmed.
Great stuff.
Especially the song "This is us". Absolutely brilliant.
All The Road Running is the name of the album. Great album.
Emmylou has the best voice. She was my dad’s favorite singer.
I suggest From Boulder to Birmingham; it will get you right in the feelings. She wrote it after Gram Parsons died.
She’s probably my favorite female country artist of all time. Having said that, “Til I Can Gain Control Again” is her best song. “Boulder To Birmingham” a close second.
I love Boulder to Birmingham. ❤
You got me at Emmylou Harris.
The story in the song "Red Dirt Girl", is one of the saddest stories ever sung! Still, it's worth the tears to listen. Emmylou is a national treasure! Cheers\=/\=/
Try Emmylou & Gram Parsons early 1970s recordings (1st Country/Rock Music) like the Eagles! I met Emmylou in 1972 at a party when she was about 17 in Woodbridge Virginia (before Gram discovered her) she was playing at a club in Bethesda Maryland at that time. Her dad was a Marine Corps Officer stationed at Quantico and lived in Woodbridge not far from Hoadly in Prince William County where my Cousin Ronnie and myself had a 'Snake Ranch' after we came back from Vietnam.. Emmylou is a Legend today :)
Emmylou was 25 in 1972...
Don't forget: Emmyloiu Harris, Linda Ronstadt, and Dolly Pardon were a "Trio" together on an album of the same name
They made 3 albums
Emmylou is the real deal and as authentic as they come. There's a reason she and Dolly and Linda made such beautiful music together. They were birds of a feather. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂
Emmylou's cover of Simon and Garfunkel's The Boxer is one of my favorites.
I am very happy to see J n A finally do Emmy! I agree with all the other suggestions from her I've seen. One I didn't see that is not very well known but will grip you to the core. A song that sad yet full of hope at the same time. Red Dirt Girl.
Ooooo - one I forgot to list - so good!
Here's a vote for "Red Dirt Girl"
Everything Emmylou Harris does is great. Bob Dylan called her the Nightingale of country music.
I also absolutely love her cover of "Pancho and Lefty".
100% agree. I think it's the very best version, even better than Townes Van Zandt's or Merle and Willie's
Her cover of the Townes Van Zandt song inspired Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard to do it as well.
That's the song that made me a fan over 45 years ago. I'm still a fan - my absolute favorite artist.
Some others you might check out: Beneath Still Waters, Blue Kentucky Girl, Save The Last Dance For Me, Two More Bottles Of Wine...and, of course, the trio she sang with in the soundtrack to O Brother Where Art Thou: she, Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch sang Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby....just an INCREDIBLE VOICE - and, SO PRETTY, TOO! :)
So happy you brought back the great Emmylou! Born To Run, Two More Bottles of Wine, Love Hurts (with Gram Parsons), Do I Ever Cross Your Mind (with Dolly & Linda), Where Will I Be, Red Dirt Girl, Boulder to Birmingham.
She has such a long, deep, varied discography to explore and has sang with so many legends. Please keep listening.
So beautiful in voice, looks and spirit
I've been listening to this lady for over 50 years, from the moment I heard her singing duet harmony with Linda on "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You)." I've been to see her five times, the most recent of which was late 2022 with my wife. It was our last concert together - I lost my wife just one year ago.

❤️💔❤️🙏🏾
OMG. Finally, some more Emmylou! One of the very best voices in the industry. Forgot to mention Linda Ronstadt used to say Emmylou's voice was like "cracked crystal". Beautiful.
Emmylou is my favorite country singers but she also does folk, Americana and rock. Once voted top 10 most influential women in country and rock.
Jay & Amber, you'll love her cover of Delbert McClinton's "Two More Bottles of Wine" !! Bluesy.
edit- She's 76 and still performing this year.
That's one of my favorites! There's a great video of Emmylou and Delbert singing it together.
OMG - gonna CRY before I even WATCH!!! :) LOVE EMMYLOU HARRIS!! Such a very sweet voice - she, Dolly, & Linda made such a GREAT FORCE, TOGETHER!! Can't wait to see your reaction to this one!! HUGS!
Once you start looking for Emmy Lou, you will find her everywhere. Not only is she a great artist on her own, she sings harmony with so many of the best. Beautiful voice. Thanks!
I fell in love with her in the 70s. Seen her live twice. We've had the perfect music/listener relationship ever since. ♥
Another good song classic country is Emmylou Harris & Don Williams amazing harmonies “If I needed you”
Love Emmylou Harris! I strongly suggest you check out "Evangeline" by her with The Band.❤ Please!
I agree. Even better would be to do a reaction to that entire movie, THE LAST WALTZ. They have already done their reaction to “The Weight”, with The Band and The Staples. One of the best concert movies of all time. And also tells the story of The Band.
Another great balad cover is Emmylou singing - Together Again from 1976 on the TV Show -TOPPOP: Emmylou Harris - Together Again ( Live ) on UA-cam. Cannot get more traditional old Country....
Listen to her “newer” stuff from the late 90s and on. “Red Dirt Girl” is an incredible story song that you’ll love (but cry your way through).
She's wonderful
Love her duets with Gillian Welch
Pretty Emmylou had such a beautiful haunting voice, one of my all time favorite female artist.
I suggested this one a LONG time ago - thrilled that you finally got to it! Just an amazing song - Emmylou has one of the most beautiful voices of all time!
Emmy Lou Harris “Pancho and Lefty”! She does the best rendition of this song. Off the Luxury Liner” album.
Another song about Oklahoma you should react to is “You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma” a duet between David Frizzell and Shelly West.
I had just requested the same thing. Been trying for a while
i have suggested this on also
Oooooh yes they would love this!
Emmy started out as total folk artist. Then Gram Parsons got her singing what he called "Cosmic American Music". Wish y'all would react to Emmylou and Gram doing LOVE HURTS or "Boulder to Birmingham" (She is from Birmingham, BTW) is a song written by Emmylou Harris and Bill Danoff which first appeared on Harris's 1975 album Pieces of the Sky.

So happy to have seen Emmylou live. Way back in the late 70's. She was stunning and sounded as good live as her studio work. ✌
My husband and I walked down the aisle to her and Don Williams' If I needed you". She has the voice of an angel
You have to do Barbara Mandrell doing "I was country when country wasn't cool'"
yes!!
AGREE!! Loved Barbara and the Mandrell Sisters!!
Barbara wasnt the best singer
My dad would see Emmylou Harris play at some bar in DC in probably 1970 when she wasn’t famous and he said there were probably 2 other people there. He never said he completely fell in love with her 100% unattainable and amazing self - but I am CERTAIN it happened.
Pancho and Lefty is my favorite Emmylou song.
Have you done the super group with Emily Lou, Dolly, and Linda Ronstadt?
She got her break singing with Gram Parsons…..check out her duet with him ….Love Hurts……later covered by Nazareth
Seven year ache was another song that Emmylou Harris performed. It is a must listen to.
Early in her career she had found a great singing partner, Gram Parsons. She was touring with him and started to make a name for herself. Unfortunately, he died suddenly from a heroin overdose. Emmylou was devastated and depressed. Linda Ronstadt took her under her wing and brought her to live with her in L.A. Linda coaxed her out of her dark place and got her some connections to restart her career and the rest is history. She has said Linda is an exceptional human being and she’ll be forever in her debt. They remain great friends. I strongly recommend that you check out “The Sound of my Voice” either on your movie channel or just for your own enjoyment. It’s a fascinating trip through Linda’s career and musical journey. Love you guys 🌺✌️
I started listening to country music in the 90’s, I haven’t listened to her music, but the 90’s were great for country artists.👍♥️♥️
Hello Stranger is an incredible song from Emmylou, also Icy Blue Heart is haunting ❤️ Oh, just so many!
This is from her third album in 1976. She can't be confined to one genre, she explored and mixed a lot of them throughout her career (which still goes on). One of a kind, unique voice too.
Emmy Lou is beautiful, a country legend and my favorite female country artist. Her rendition of Buck Owens' Love's Gonna Live here Again is absolutely beautiful and my favorite of all her great songs.

I second that!
third
Love that video - the girls sound phenomenal, and Emmylou is so touched and classy!
@moleman1976 yep, and they did the very same thing to Patti Smith! They are just sublime.
It was a tribute song and yes very good group to give a listen!
This song reminds me of my mum. I adore Emmylou. "Red Dirt Girl" and "Boulder to Birmingham" are great too
I own all of Emmylou's music and have seen her live 35x. She is often referred to as the Godmother of Americana music. She has some songs that rock also.
I have fallen in love with Emmylou Harris over the last few years! "Luxury Liner" is a great album and a top 5 all-time favorite album is her "Cimarron" album. Her song "Born to Run" has an interlude that resembles a train also in it (which I recommend the song also) but I LOVE "If I Needed You" duet with Don Williams and her cover of "Pancho and Lefty!" She's coming to Massachusetts soon and I might be going!
Something you may like, look for Emmylou Harris, Willy Neilson, and Daniel Lanois preforming "The Maker" it is a Daniel Lanois song, he is another Canadian artist on his own, but has also a world class producer, of many great artists and albums. U2, Emmilou, Willy Neilson, Peter Gabriel, many more.
You can never go wrong with Emmylou...
Nanci Griffith was the Queen of Folkabilly. Give her a listen. Maybe “Late Night Grand Hotel”
her airy high voice is just stunning. My favorite songs of hers are "I Don't Have To Crawl" and "I Ain't Living Long Like This".
There's never been a singer and a backup band that blended together than Emmylou and her Hot Band. Her musicians were terrific, however they knew she was the star and they were there to compliment her. That's what made them, and her, truly great. You won't hear anything like this today.
Fantastic song writing, and then delivered flawlessly with deep emotion……Her best imo.
You have listened to her before along with Dolly and Linda Ronstadt in one of the songs from Trio. Then they recorded another album with Trio 2. Absolutely fabulous voice she has.
You should definitely include EmmyLou in your Female Friday reactions. As someone who was stuck in a loveless, unhappy marriage, I loved her song, "One of These Days," and
"To Daddy." They gave me hope that one day I would be free.
Something about that second guitar solo with the slide in the background made me emotional 😢
I'll add my vote for her cover of "Two More Bottles of Wine" if you want to hear a more uptempo rockin' side of Miss Emmylou.
Definitely this one.
Voice of an angel. She’s been a huge favorite of mine! ❤️
Emmylou co wrote this song with Rodney Crowell, who was a member of her band at the time.
“Sweet Old World” - Emmylou with Neil Young backing harmonies. This song is so beautiful it brings me to tears every time. Great on her own, Emmylou is a master of duet harmonies. Must check out duets with Gram Parsons. “Love Hurts” might be the best. Also, there’s a fabulous duet with Beck covering a Gram Parsons song on a Tribute to Gran Parsons album. The song is called “Sin City”. It’s a real gem. Pick any one of these songs, and you’ll be blown away.
I love Emmylou. Her song "Red Dirt Girl" is beautiful.
The pureness of her voice has made her one of the most fatures background/backup singers ever. She has probably appeared on more recordings as a featured artist for more performers than anyone ever...not only in country but rock as well. If you made a list of every song she's appeared on, she would be one of the most recorded voices of all time.

A year or so back, y'all did Deana Carter, Strawberry Wine and fell in love with her voice. Time to get back to her and Did I Shave My Legs for This would be a great one to listen to.
How about you do something from the lovely lady that wrote the song Matraca Berg?
Another nice Emmylou Harris song suggeston: "This Is Us" with Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits
I've been a fan of hers since the late 70's. She had real hand in appreciating Country music. Before, that genre had been my parent's music (you know, forced to listen to on long road trips). A voice like an angel. And with Linda & Dolly? Nothing better!
My favorite Emmylou song is a cover, “Darkest Night Is Just Before Dawn”, a dreamy duet with Ricky Skaggs.
Two More Bottles of Wine is wonderful song by her. Also, any of the collage she did with Dolly Part in and Linda Ronstadt. She also sings on several songs with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album Will The Circle Be Unbroken, volume II.
Another great early one by Emmylou is, "Gram Parsons, "Return of the Grievous Angel, with Emmylou Harris" (recorded 1973) Just like many people, I wonder if they were in love. There is also a great version of this tune that Emmylou did later w/ Ryan Adams.
One of my favorites by Emmylou is called To Daddy. It's a little sad but I love it!
She has an amazing voice and is a top notch musician.
Oh wow, someone actually reacting to Emmylou singing this song. This is my very favorite song by her. But now that I'm listening to this version, which isn't the studio version, I'm really missing that haunting harmonica accompaniment.
Nice! I think some of Harris' best up-beat and blue-grassy songs are the ones with "The Hot Band", like Steve Earle's "Guitar Town", and her collaborations with Rodney Crowell. I love listening to Emmylou and Delbert McClinton sing "Two more bottles of wine".
"Where Will I Be?" Is my favorite from Emmylou. ❤
Yes, mine too! This first track on Wrecking Ball made me an Emmylou fan ever since. Fantastic album.
Anything from her album Roses in the Snow is top shelf bluegrass you will Love and show cases her vocal abilities! Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt, Willie Nelson are on this record with her!
Grew up listening to Emmylou, my mom was( and still is) as big a fan as myself. You should fall down the Emmylou rabbit hole. Boulder to Birmingham, Born to Run, Blue Kentucky Girl, C'est la Vie, Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town, could go on and on
This is the song that made me fall in love with her, as if she wasn't already one of the most beautiful women on the planet. As Willie Nelson said, if you don't love her you have never met her. Woman has almost perfect pitch and in the words of Dolly Parton just has a gift for approaching a song with the perfect technique. Check the same one out on the live Old Grey Whistle Test version - you can barely tell it from the original.
Her guitar player at the time was Albert Lee, one of the very best to pick up the instrument. Also from the live OGWT is the song 'Luxury Line 40 Tons of Steel' which is some of the best guitar pickin' I've ever heard.
My personal fav of hers is 'Two More Bottles of Wine'.
I hope you can hear her version of this song on her live album "Spyboy". It is powerful! Thanks for bringing in Emmy Lou today!
You have to do Nanci Griffith
I've just been listening to Nanci singing Ford Econoline. It's like listening to a movie scene! Lol ❤
Nanci's cover of 'Where the time goes' from the Transatlantic Sessions would be my suggestion. Beautiful and barely, if at all, reacted to.
Grew up on Emmylou! She sings backing vocals on a song by Ryan Adams (not to be confused with Bryan Adams) called "Oh My Sweet Carolina" from his "Heartbreaker"album that's definitely worth checking out. Ryan has worked with some big names like Willie Nelson, Gillian Welch and Sheryl Crow. Has a rock/folk/country vibe to his tunes. I think you both would dig his style!
There are so many Emmylou songs that you should react to!!!! She is an amazing singer/songwriter!! Please don’t move past her music!!!❤❤❤❤
I've always liked her singing "To Daddy" which is a Dolly Parton penned song and Dolly later recorded it was well but Emmylou asked Dolly if she could cut the song and Dolly said yes.
This is my favorite of her songs.
Love me some Emmylou Harris! Speaking of Tulsa, did you two know that Heart and Cheap Trick are performing two concerts in your state in May??? Go to their website and check it out! If you can make it I am sure you would love the show! And speaking of Heart, please add "Dog and Butterfly" live and their cover of Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore"!! Peace out!
Speaking of Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant and Alison Krause will be at the Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa in June.
If I Could Only Win Your Love is my favorite of hers. Also Queen Of The Silver Dollar.
YES!!! I think I suggested this song from Emmylou back when you guys first started. There is a live version of this song she performed on a show called The Old Grey Whistle Test with Albert Lee and Rodney Crowell on guitars but you guys might not can use that video. I met Emmylou at a meet & greet after one of her shows a few years ago. She was so nice. She was born in Birmingham, AL and I live in Huntsville, AL and she was telling me she has family that lives in my area. I hope to see her in concert again soon.
I love her voice. She writes many of her own songs, but her covers are wonderful. She's what I call a purist. Sings original lyrics without changing the gender when the lyrics are in 1st person, often like L Ronstadt.
I 1st heard her on the radio while in art class in HS, maybe 1975. A beautiful voice was singing The Beatles tune, Here, There & Everywhere. "Who is THAT?" So began my love affair with Emmylou.
I see suggestions for her duet with Gram Parsons of the Boudreaux Bryant song, Love Hurts. Good idea. It's great.
Nazareth had a big hit with it in 1974. That one is worth a listen as well, if you haven't already.
Blessings ❤
Suggest Emmylou Harris singing " For No One" Great song and She has a great voice!
Yes! A Beatles cover. Absolutely breathtaking.
Emmylou, one of my all time favorites. Seen her live over a dozen times going back to the late 1970’s. How about some Tammy Wynette, “Til I Can Make It On My Own”.
This is from the 1976 "Luxury Liner" album from Emmylou which is a fantastic album that I bought new way back then (still have it). The title track "Luxury Liner" is a rocker and Emmylou's version of "Pancho And Lefty" is the definitive version IMO. Y'all need to check out both of these gems from her.
Thank You Gram Parsons for this Gracious Angel
Love you Emmy❤
Thanks for showing some love to Emmylou Harris. She is one of my top artists of all time. I've seen her perform live a number of times through years. Just a suggestion for some women you may want to check out.
Dusty Trails (ft. Emmylou Harris) - "Order Coffee"
Sheryl Crow - "My Favorite Mistake"
Hole - "Malibu"
Garbage - "Only Happy When It Rains"
Jewel - "Who Will Save Your Soul"
Luscious Jackson - "Naked Eye"
Actually your 3rd time. You heard Emmylou with Dolly and Linda in the Trio. ; ))
Emmylou is an amazing songwriter. One of my favorites is "Strong Hand", a song she wrote when June Carter Cash passed away. That's another person you should listen to. Talk about country music royalty! June was from the amazing Carter Family and an artist in her own right before she married Johnny Cash. She wrote "Ring of Fire", one of the greatest songs about love ever written.
