Two guitars and the golden velvet voice of Emmy produces one the best songs one can hear. This is a stunning showcase of pure musical brilliance. Just sensational.
I still remember Emmylou at the Santa Clara County fairgrounds in the 70s. There was hardly anyone in the audience who was listening to her but I was mesmerized. I was too young to even drive, so when my friends came by to get me, they practically had to drag me away by the hair. I think it took me ten minutes walking backwards to leave the stadium. Never have I ever wanted to stay so badly to hear someone sing.
One of the finest Ambassadors of country music - or simply music. Ms. Harris sings everything, with everybody, and we are all better for her efforts! A genuine treasure, and she just gets better and better!
Emmylou Harris has a throat of gold. She had it back in the 1970's and she has it still today. I could sit back and listen to her sing all day and all night. Thanks you so much Emmylou.
I loved the artist in her before I was born. Oh, her soothing voice always brings me back to my favorite quiet place, my heart! You don't have to move to travel, one only needs to listen to her sing. She will take you places never seen before and bring you back only to leave again with every next song.
Brilliant!! Every time I listen to her I think of Willie Nelson's immortal words " There are two types of men in the world, those that love Emmylou, and those who have never met her"
When I think of the entertainers that are keeping real country music alive it is Emmy Lou then Marty stuart and a host of others ........you will not find there music on the radio but you can find it on youtube if you look!! and you can buy there cd's if you look hard enough...... it can not get anybetter than this
They do not make them any better than Emmylou Harris. Her songs and voice know how to reach into the deep recesses of our hearts and touch places that no other can touch.
afonso,paul here-I can't decide between my heart stopping and crying out loud,but that's Emmylou,she has that effect on people(especially guys like me who love her!)
The first time I heard Emmylou was in 1975 on Bob Dylan’s Desire album. I was a kid, not really into any specific type of music... but one evening my mother had that album on and I heard the song “Oh Sister”... 43 years later and Emmylou embodies all that is beautiful, wonderful, talented and graceful in this world. She just keeps getting better and more soulful. Her work with animal rescue just adds the icing to the cake. Emmylou, may you and your music live forever...
This song sounds like music from Heaven... Emmylou sings like angels surely do... No matter how grey her hair might turn, her voice gets better and better.
65 users unfortunately do not have a musical ear, to appreciate this wonderful voice. It's a pity to see these days, young people who listen to anything in music, like the Rap for example and who know absolutely nothing in music !!!!
I've been to heaven and I've heard the angels sing: Emmylou Harris and the harmony of Vince Gill and Patty Loveless; there are no sweeter sounds on earth or in heaven, there just isn't.
Anyone that would argue that Yzetta . really knows nothing about music .. or singers !! I have been a big fan of Emmylou since before probly a lot of people commenting on this was born .. lol . .yep . .an old dog am I .. but she is definitely in the top 10 all time female singers .. in my humble opinion :-)
I have been a fan of Emmy Lou since I first listened to her in the 1970's. A long time ago. She is the ultimate in musical integrity. She was, in the 1970s an astonishingly beautiful lady. And yet, she never tried to use sex appeal to promote her music. Huge credit to her for this. And she still sells records today. This is a lesson to today's twerk artists---if they will listen. s
Well, I cannot argue with you on that subject. Would not even try. She has a timeless beauty. And, I would argue, a significant part of that beauty is the fact that she is, and always has remained a lady. ("Lady" used in the old fashioned sense when the word actually meant something.)
Agreed!!! That is one beautiful lady!! In my opinion, still has the same folksy, but elegant voice she had back in the 70's. Which has also graduated to that sweet red wine, aged to perfection...
A Class Act in everyway. Not only a tremendously talented Singer/Song Writer but a Great Humanitarian . She even has a " Dog Rescue " in Her Backyard . Probably more Beautiful inside then out or at least = .
"From the tall pines of Carolina"...Emmylou never abandons Gram Parsons while the Country Music Association does. This line is a memory fragment of Gram's "Hickory Wind" and Emmylou's career was founded on the rich memories of her association with Gram Parsons. Here in this song Emmylou is praising the spirit and style of Mother Maybelle Carter and the country roots song, "How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower." Some of us might never have made it if not for the enchanting voice and songs of Emmylou and her loyalty to Country Music...and the path created by her lost friend, Gram Parsons. I love the album, "All I Intended to Be" as its songs remind us of the spanse of time we all call "life." Ironically, Mother Maybell's loyalty to Chet Atkins saved his career in county music...yet, Chet later was in opposition to the career and music of Gram Parsons. Sad but true!!
Well, there is Joan Baez, and there is Emmylou... Yes, different, I agree, but they both have that special in their voices. Love'em both! Thanks for sharing, mate!
Emmylou seems to sing better and look more beautiful the older she gets. I have been listening to her most of my adult life. This song is a great tribute to the seminal country singer Sara Carter.
Dear Me! You might be someone that knows how much Emmylou's music means to me. Her voice more comforting and reassuring to me than my own mother's. I choked a bit reading your words, while hearing this song for the first time. She is the Creator's gift to the world and to lonely souls like me.
Such a wonderful performance. Once I learned it was about Sara and A.P. Carter, now it makes me tear up to listen to it. Also it is co-written by Emmylou.
guess there are some things in life we can't explain. As in how come we have been blessed with Emmylou her beauty and that voice from heaven. Just hold her in your heart and be thankful.
Emmylou is one of those artists that no matter how much credit she gets it will never be enough.
Emmylou your so sweet honey will you Marry me Emmylou I'll take good care of you my darling
There are nearly 8 billion people on the planet and one Emmylou Harris. I'd say that's pretty special.
There truly is only one Emmylou. I never tire of hearing her voice. Thanks for posting such a beautiful song.
She has one of the most beautiful voices on this earth.
Two guitars and the golden velvet voice of Emmy produces one the best songs one can hear. This is a stunning showcase of pure musical brilliance. Just sensational.
THIS is what Country music is missing. She's the Queen of Country. Still great. Nobody quite like her.
Not even Dolly? I'd say more than queen, Emmylou is the Outlaw of country.
Amen

Pourquoi ce regard si triste
A big thank you from Paris 🌹❤️
Beautiful song & sung by the most talented woman in the music world. I never miss her concerts when she comes to SLC, Utah - she is one of a kind.
I loved the artist in her before I was born. Oh, her soothing voice always brings me back to my favorite quiet place, my heart! You don't have to move to travel, one only needs to listen to her sing.

I have loved her voice for over forty years....she still has it...
I am addicted to this beautiful lady with this beautiful voice and fantastic song
So BEAUTIFUL Emmy , God Bless this coming winter season , thanksgiving etc.. love from a 72 year old...Diane Littlehampton South East England xx

The sweetest female voice in country music
Quite possibly in music all together.
CooManTunes Best Female Vocalist in the Universe as far as I'm concerned. Her voice is as sweet today as it was 40 years ago.
Bob Rabinoff you are right
You couldn't ask for a better side musician than Buddy Miller. Emmylou's music is timeless.
Words just can't convey what Emmylou's voice brings to our cultural celebration of joy from the Heavens sent.
The older Emmylou gets, the better she does this song.
+steve baker The older she gets the better she gets, period. Wish I could say the same.
They do not make them any better than Emmylou Harris. Her songs and voice know how to reach into the deep recesses of our hearts and touch places that no other can touch.

You are absolutely right. Our beautiful, traditional music is dying a slow death, just like America is.
Emmylou Harris was sent on earth to sing the saddest songs - 2.19 to 2.30 is pure anguish.
What a graceful, beautiful and wonderful woman!
A lovely song, and sung so well by a the truest of stars. Thank you Emmylou - from NZ CountryMusic
I've been to heaven and I've heard the angels sing: Emmylou Harris and the harmony of Vince Gill and Patty Loveless; there are no sweeter sounds on earth or in heaven, there just isn't.
Happy B-Day, Emmylou! You are simply put...a treasure!
+Dan Yes, she is an American treasure, for sure.
This is my favourite song. I never get tired of her voice. I listen to her for hours.
This is what perfection sounds like.
soothes my soul. ......what will we do when Emmylou is gone .?
+kerry evans She will never be gone.
+J. Mark Lane amen

What an incredible performance. The layers crafted into the song; of course, the voice, always the voice, more beautiful still.
do we still have people who can sing like this? this beautiful!

Simply put Emmylou Harris the best.... can make a heart stop beating with that beautiful voice.
Wow! she looks amazing and the voice sounds even better. God bless you.

Emmylou, She will here for many years of our lives, with that unforgettable voice in song - Keep singing Emmylou! We all Love you
I have lost my heart to Emmylou. She somehow reaches into your soul and grabs hold of it. No words can ever describe the emotion she makes me feel.
Dear Me! You might be someone that knows how much Emmylou's music means to me. Her voice more comforting and reassuring to me than my own mother's. I choked a bit reading your words, while hearing this song for the first time. She is the Creator's gift to the world and to lonely souls like me.

Her voice ages like fine wine...
Emmylou has been and is still the best country singer 😘

There is Emmylou...and then everybody else
She has the voice of a angel.
the sweetest voice ever
guess there are some things in life we can't explain. As in how come we have been blessed with Emmylou her beauty and that voice from heaven. Just hold her in your heart and be thankful.
Emmylou is an angel, a frickin' angel.
Emmylou is really a queen. Always wonderful, conveys an immense peace. And that ability, my God. Dominates the stage and dominates our hearts.
Emmylou is better than ever. Like a delicious aged wine. Can't wait for that special moment when I see (and hear) her again in October TWICE!
Classis Emmylou
even downunder she makes the stars shine
Melts my heart!

Emmylou's golden voice forever......and a great Buddy Miller !
「エリートホテル」の頃からの ファンです。 美しい声と とても歌を大切に歌っている姿が好きです。 いつまでも 元気で 素敵な歌を
聴かせて下さい。
I fell in love with this woman 40 years ago and I still love listening to her.
I just got goose bumps listening to this. I love Emmylou Harris.
Pure country music at its finest a beautiful voice and a beautiful woman
Classical looks interesting voice which has'nt changed since the seventies, long may she reign.
shes an angel
Saw her live around 1990. Absolutely mesmerizing, wonderful, angelic voice. I will never forget it.
Went to see emmylou live recently in Manchester, she is amazing, best female singer for many years, hope to see her again.
What an incredibly beautiful song.
I saw her a few weeks ago (8/2021) and she's still magnificent!
"There are two types of men in the World, men who are in love with Emmylou Harris and men who have not met Emmylou Harris"....Willie Nelson
Amazing artist!
Together with Buddy Miller also such a humble but magnificent musician.
even the time goes by, she is such a great singer !
thank you for sharing
-Emmylou Harris-One of the most unique voices, in the business...
The voice of a angel she has so much feeling and passion in her singing
She has a purity in her voice that I don't think any other singer has.
I Love Emmylou, she is an angel with the sweetest voice and gods gifted talent.....
I.ll never marry
Anna Williams w
dirtracker47 The most moving and beautiful sound my soul can absorb.
got to be one of the best female vocalists and pickers of all time
einfach großartig. So einfühlsam. Eine sehr schöne Frau mit einenm schönen Lied.
she is something.. love her so much
Just saw Emmylou the other night in Atlanta. Scratch another one off the ol' bucket list.
She touches me so unbelievable... I'm always close to lucky-tears hearing her singing - thank you Emmylou!
Emmylou Harris- how she could sing, any song ))
Pure magic, absolutely beautiful. Endless
To me, she channels the soul of America.
Emmylou Harris could sing the Harbor Freight catalog and make it a masterpiece. She goes way beyond being a national treasure.
