'' When St Peter asks me to chronicle the highlights of my time down here on earth, I'll be able to say (with pride if that's allowed) that for a while I played rhythm guitar in a band with Albert Lee." - Emmylou Harris.
My favorite quote from EmmyLou.
She was and still is so modest and humble. True Southern grace.
I adore Emmylou! The trios she did with Dolly Parton and Linda Rondstadt are definitely worth listening to.
They were magical together! It gutted me when it was announced that Linda had Parkinson's and could no longer sing.
@@Yesica1993 As I'm sure you know that Michael J. Fox has Parkinson's disease and has always kept a positive outlook on life.
"When something enters your life that is so big and so non-negotiable as catastrophic illness,
you either go in denial for a while or ultimately you accept it and you make space for it.
And in making space for it, you illuminate a lot of things that you normally don't have
room for you simply just look at the world differently."
Michael J. Fox
Albert Lee the best "unknown" guitarist produced by the UK.
Albert was a skinny little Romney boy from South London (Blackheath) who only wanted to play Country music, a genre not often heard in the UK.
Mr. Telecaster. He is so humble and genuine.
The guy singing with EmmyLou and playing acoustic guitar is country singer Rodney Crowell. He’s one of my favorites too.
Rodney was the band leader for the “Hot Band”.
@@danwaldie4661 … Cool! Didn’t know that.
Albert is a blistering master picker. one of the best uk exports. love it.
Emmylou is a force of nature, as are her bands. The contribution she's made to contemporary music through not just her own music, but her championing amazing talent/players/songwriters and shining a spotlight on them (Rodney Crowell, Ricky Skaggs, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch and on and on and on) has changed the face of the music we love, for the better (imho). The epitome of grace, class and talent.
And of course Gram Parsons who wrote Luxery Liner!
Thanks for the chuckle, Fil when you said, "So there is so much in this performance that I'm going to try and keep this analysis down to under one lifetime." 😂 great analyses to a great performance by Emmylou Harris, and the band. 👍
I saw Emmylou Harris at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester in February 1976- an amazing concert. At that time James Burton was the guitar player but the rest of the band was the same. At one point, they went acoustic the pedal steel guitar player took Emory Gordy's bass and he played mandolin. James Burton played the dobro and Rodney Crowell and Emmylou played acoustic guitar while I think Glen D Hardin left his piano for a crafty smoke.. One of the greatest bands ever.
Emmylou at her best. Not only a masterful vocalist, but a brilliant musician musician..Past time she was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.❤❤❤
Thank you for spotlighting Emmylou Harris. My favorite artist, I've been a fan for nearly 50 years! Never stop singing, Emmylou!
I joked that I was born with two left ears all my life, and didn't understand music theory until last year when I started playing the piano. But I knew music, since when I was growing up, we didn't ask to see someone's Instagram profile, we asked to see their record collection. No one was offended, it was a point of pride to look through the vinyl. So many of my friends (moi aussi) had Emmylou Harris, and we'd read the liner notes and rememberize the musicians on the records. Some people would say that a record was country, or country rock, or bluegrass, or fusion, I didn't care. I just listened to what I liked. This is bringing back so many Friday and Saturday night souvenirs...great memories.
Your channel is really a treasure. I love your appreciation and knowledge of all kinds of music.
You Rock. Merci.
I love Emmylou, country music and some good guitar playing! This was a fun analysis and I enjoyed your guitar demonstration as well! 😉👍
Now I'm stalking(no, not really). I wish I could have joined the fun last night. Family affair; don't U kno.
I've had the great pleasure of seeing Albert Lee live on many occasion, absolutely tremendous guitarist!
I love how you appreciate all types of music. Apparently 330K people like you too. Congrats!!
Thanks!
Cowboy Fil, this rocked.
Another great analysis video. I saw Albert Lee last month, playing a gig at a bar in Rochdale. He’s 79 years old, not as quick as he was in this video but still an absolutely amazing guitarist. Got his autograph and shook his hand, hoping some of his magic rubs off on me 😊.
I was at the same gig in Rochdale and saw Albert again the following week in Bury St Edmunds (where he played and sang even better!) He'll be 80 in December and I don't know how much longer he can keep going. If you get the opportunity to see him perform live - grab it!
I've also seen Emmylou perform live several times at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester. The purity of her voice complements her simple, uncomplicated beauty. Her pitch and phrasing are perfect. She's 76 now and even more radiant than ever!
Emmylou Harris has one of the purest angelic voices in music. She has always surrounded herself with to notch musicians. Listen to her magnificent Wrecking Ball (dear God, mot Miley Cyris') album. Boulder to Birmingham from her debut album is a true heattbreaker...and a sheer beauty.,
LOVE from Boulder to Birmingham... I always figured it was about Graham.
Love Emmylou and love you. Your knowledge of music is unbelievable! Whenever I watch you I’m amazed that a guy who looks so young can know so much.
This is the sound and look of my childhood! I was born in Roy Clark's hometown of Meherrin, Virginia in '68, and I would have been about 9 years old when this was performed. It was a strange time---people who looked like hippies were playing country music that sounded more "country" than what was coming out of Nashville. People can argue all day about Gram Parson and his contribution to country music, but one thing is certain---he introduced the world to Emmylou Harris! I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the whole country/rock swirl of that time, with groups like the Burrito Brothers, The Hot Band, The Byrds, Poco, and The Eagles. I just happened to have been playing some Poco yesterday, so it's almost miraculous that this review shows up on my UA-cam feed. Great job! Now, since you're on the other side of the pond, you've probably heard of the Northern Soul movement over there. It's similar to the Carolina Beach Music that I also love....but that's another review, and another story!
I always feel like I have been to music class.
James Burton played in the Hot Band beforehand, and I hear Albert Lee imitating Burton's "chicken picking" in that first solo
Fil, I actually saw Albert Lee perform in person when he was in Carlene Carter's band in the early 1990s. Carlene is June Carter Cash's daughter by her first marriage to legendary singer, Carl Smith. Albert Lee plays guitar on Carlene's 1990 hit song "I Fell In Love" and he is seen playing in the music video for the song.. Carlene Carter also co-wrote Emmylou Harris' 1978 hit song "Easy From Now On"
Hi Fil,
It was mesmerizing to see these intricate runs on the guitar, done with amazing speed and accuracy. One can only think of the time and hours of practice it takes to get this good. And Emmy Lou doesn’t seem to miss a beat either! She seemed right on the lines with her pitch and just as comfortable on guitar. Like it was all just a natural extension of her person. Truly immensely talented musicianship and artistry in this performance. Well done analysis and guitar technique demonstration. Thank you so much. You Are The Best! Debbie☮️
One of my all time favorite recordings. Albert Lee and Vince Gill are two of the greatest rockabilly guitarists. Emmylou's signature song in my book. She certainly did assemble a great band in this era. Thanks for your excellent analysis!
Love it. I saw this Hot Band with Emmylou, Albert Lee and Rodney Crowell at the Moore Theater in Seattle. Emmylou is always top notch. The best players want to be in her band. Thanks Fil.
The look of awe and slight disbelief on your face,Fil,when Albert starts ripping it up,says it all! Met him recently. Such a nice,quietly spoken and unassuming man,off-stage,but still blazing fast on stage at 79+ years old. I have a (quite rare)album called “Green Bullfrog “,which features Albert,and several of his contemporaries. Some are named,and some have nicknames,which are not deciphered on the album notes,leaving it to the listener to make their own guess as to who is who. Albert is on there,with Richie Blackmore,Jim Sullivan,Roger Glover,Ian Paice,and one other unnamed guitarist,which,I suspect,was Jeff Beck! There are four guitarists nicknamed as BOOTS,PINTA,THE BOSS and THE VICAR. Albert admitted to being PINTA;-“I was a milkman!”. The others ,including BEVY,on organ,and SORRY,on piano are left to the listener to determine!
Oh,and at the bottom of the sleeve notes,it says”For maximum listening pleasure this LP must be played LOUD.”
Saw Emmylou in July for my 4th or 5th time, she is always great.
And Albert Lee - saw him join Rodney Crowell at a festival a few years back where Albert was also on the bill . They had a great time playing together, and I was smiling the whole way through.
Emmy Lou is still melting faces to this day.
Fil, I wish I had you as a teacher in 1964! the guy I got tried to dissuade me from playing the blues!
Nice one Fil. I was so glad at the time when Albert got this gig and the tours with Emmylou. What a feather in his cap. My introduction to him was earlier in the excellent Head Hands and Feet. Check out the album of same name and some of the personnel.
Thanks for the awesome analysis video Fil! Emmylou Harris has been my idol for many years after I first heard Boulder to Birmingham and her records and we play many of her songs in my ukulele group (The Yardbugs). My wife and I saw Peter Asher and Albert Lee a couple of months ago in a very small intimate show, wonderful performances. My wife was not aware of Albert Lee's guitar god reputation and he didn't really display all his virtuosity given the nature of the performance. She however fell in love with his voice, song selections and his arrangements. Sometimes I think we forget about his impeccable musicianship with all his experience playing and performing with everyone who wants him on stage with them.
Albert Lee is from another planet.
Great performance and analysis! The only negative thing is we never got to hear you say "Yee Haw!" 🤣
Albert also plays some dazzling solos on Claptons Just One Night.
Setting Me Up and Bringing Me Down comes to mind!!
One of the highlights of my life was seeing this incredible band five times. Fil, you seem so in awe of Albert that you're tongue tied. Albert's successor was Frank Rickard, someone you should investigate, he was amazing.
Thanks for your expertise in explaining guitar runs and muscle memory.
Wonderful analysis, Fil ! Love country music, and that guitar playing is awesome ! Thanks for bringing Emmy Lou to us as well as putting the spotlight on the 🎸 guitar picking ! ❤
It's always interesting watching a very good guitar player analyze or try to emulate a world-class guitar player. You can see that you know exactly what Albert Lee is doing, but actually doing it, yourself...that's a different thing altogether!
Thanks Fil, great breakdown 🎉❤
Thanks Fil…u r pretty badass ur self to be able explain whats going on, a knowledge base thats equally impressive😊
I saw Emmylou twice, not too long after Parson's death. A voice that has an extensive range. Thanks for the video.
One of my favorite UA-cam video is of Albert Lee in the studio laying down guitar for Dave Edmunds song Sweet Little Lisa, while in the control room Dave, Nick Lowe, Huey Lewis, and Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy watch in awe. Then Edmunds (an exceptionally fine guitar player himself) goes on and on about how amazing Albert is. A truly fine show of respect for an often overlooked British guitarist from the golden age of British guitarists.
That was some fine pickin' right there - the whole performance really
Emmylou Harris 🍒🎸♥
On his new Album, the late Jimmy Buffett does a cover of Bob Dylan’s Mozambique with Emmylou singing background. She also sang background on Dylan’s original version. She Still has the great voice!
I love the look on your face here. Joy.❤️❤️❤️
YEE HAW indeed. That beautiful voice backed by incredible musicians makes for wonderful music. Country music has some of the best sound going.. Your anaysis,which didn't take a lifetime , was informative as always. Thank you.
This is the country music I know and love! Not the fake / pop stuff of today.
Great analysis, I've never particularly been a country music fan, so it's pretty impressive (and exhausting) to hear about how that style of playing is achieved. You have to respect that kind of patience.
I just like the sound of her name Emmylou. She sings effortlessly, they’re having fun and so are you, by your reaction. Noice analysis.
Holy moly! They’re on fire…instruments and vocals both. Songs like this with rhythms like that are the reason I need cruise control in my truck. 😂 Thanks, Fil!
Her with the McGarrigles is kinda special too.
Little Feat’s Dixie Chicken with Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris and Jesse Winchester singing backup.
heard just a few days ago on the radio.on the way to the record store of all.places what backup.singers
Fabulous record,, and rocking!❤
I saw Emmylou and the Hot Band many, many times, with some of the top musicians that joined her. If she was coming to my area, I was going!!
Fast picking there lol. Fun analysis🤠Thanks Fil😊✨️🎸🎼🎵🎶
Such a good breakdown of the guitar techniques! Well done, Fil!
I don’t play guitar or sing myself, but I enjoy watching you analyze these musicians and their guitar playing. Great job with this one Fil 👩🏻🏫👏🏻🥰‼️
I'm not a big country fan, but I do love Emmylou. Saw her live a few times. As she aged her voice got even better.
Excellent analysis of an incredibly enjoyable video. Thank you for doing this video with Emmy Lou, Albert Lee and that band.
That fast "chicken peck" guitar playing that Albert Lee is doing set a style for future hot Nashville session guitarists like Brent Mason during the 1990s on just about everyone's songs during that decade. Most notably on many of Alan Jackson's record's and many others. It became sort of the classic sound for uptempo country songs in the '90s.
Great ta hear ya chicken pick abit ! 😎 You'd fit right in as a "jam junky" here in WV. Emmylou is a great exp of bringin Country & BG crowds together at festivals. She ALWAYS does a KILLER show and covers alotta oldtime/BG standards (chestnuts ,as WE call them) . So glad ya featured her HERE ! Well done cypherin the haps at BG speeds in 2/2. When I joined the ALT.BANJO board around 96, I was pleasantly surprised findin the UK has a HUGE BG community as well? Speshally around Corby (who knew?) Thanks Fil !
Wonderfully Fantastic Fil, Happy Sunday!
This song remains on my top fav playlist today, as it has on various formats since it’s release. The album is one of those I remember the first time I heard it. When someone told me it was country, I was astounded-I was a little rocker and she wasn’t what I thought of when you say “country.”😄 This woman has so much talent, and she’s shown it for decades. We’re lucky to have her.
Wish I could find some really clean video of Gram and Emmylou - their voices blended as if they were made for each other.
I watch this video often, so I appreciate your analysis. The bassist (Emory Gordy Jr.) also does a fantastic job.
I idolized her for years, but now I have regular appreciation finally. So, therefore, feel safe in watching this.
I got to see her live back in the 80's or maybe 90's, and was captivated by her & by the big fancy rose on her guitar that changed colors. I don't even remember if she was with a band or not. 😂 if I start idolizing again, I'll just blame it on you Fil.
Fil..🧚beautiful song .the level is 👍 and very frenzied..!!super band , Fil.thanks .🎸💌
Emmy lou is highly underrated, she is the real deal.
I saw the Hot Band in a small club around that time in Northern California.
James Burton was in the band at that show. I remember because he was billed a “featuring James Burton “, at the time I knew who he was more than Emmie.
It was a great show.
My favorite Emmylou period, and best band name ever!
Watch Emmylou playing Daniel Lanois' "Where Will I Be?" on Jools Holland in 1995 with the best rhythm section you'll ever hear and Lanois on the 12 string mandoguitar.
I have to listen to it at least every few days, it's life-sustaining, transcendent beauty.
AND THERE WE HAVE IT......this video was fun to watch and listen to. Loved Emmy lou. Pro musicians! Thanks Fil, a great lesson for today.
Albert Lee, is a bad man, on that guitar, but, the whole band is perfection. I’ve always loved Emmylou Harris. I got see her at Jamboree In Hill , at Brush Run in Ohio, back in the early 80. She and Rodney Crowells harmonies are beautiful. If you want hear a great Emmylou song, check out her song, Every Time You Leave. This song is done, by Emmylou, and Don Everly. I believe that it was album, Emmylou Harris Profile. Thanks for the great work Fil.
So glad you are doing Emmylou. She has such a unique voice, and she is a legend!
Thanks fil, I've listened to luxury liner a lot. I liked it but I never paid attention to the instrumentation. What an eye opener. Thanks for the in depth analysis. I think I first saw al Lee with the video " cest la vie." Man , I sure missed a lot before these videos became common place. Thanks for doing Emmy lou.
Albert Lee seen him more than ten times brilliant Mr Telecaster.
Great musicians and that voice! Killer!
Magnifique Emmylou !
If you are a high soprano like Emmylou or like me, study Emmylou....many poprock singers a way deeper and heavier...Im glad, I have found her some time ago....she is so musical and so versatile...her twang is to die for as well...no oversinging, screaming belting like you hear today so often at American Idol or The Voice or on Instagram (this new way ideal singing is often super tasteless)....her Bruce springsteen covers inspire me a lot as well as her aetherial stuff like Beneath deep waters
Love me Emmylou!
Woohoo that was fun :)
I've got a couple Bill Wymans Rhythm Kings albums and they set the toes to tapping, especially live.
Top level indeed, every bit of it👌🏻
Please do Rob Halford from Judas Priest!
Some of the notes he hit in songs from the early to mid 80s were unbelievable!👍
Fil, You're a trip! I bought this album when it was first released and played it through - always skipping this song because I felt Emmylou's voice was meant for ballads. I watched and listened to your analysis (of course) and seeing your enjoyment made me a little mad at myself for always skipping this song! I need to see if you've reacted to "Boulder to Birmingham" which she co-wrote with Bill Danoff of Starland Vocal Band. I loved their version, but Emmy's (written as a tribute to Gram Parsons)...Whew!!
I'm a big fan of Emmylou Harris. I saw her many years ago. I forget the year. But Ricky Skaggs was in the band at the time.
Brilliant!
Singing along with playing the instruments takes a lot of work to memorize all of that.
So glad to know she's not a fake! She gives me hope that there ARE people who can actually sing!
Listen to Alison Krauss and Union Station;-they’ll blow your mind!
Nice breakdown Fil. I love her work with Mark Knopfler as well.
The video may have gone on for a long time, but as interesting as it is, makes it feel shorter. The time flies by. 👍👍
another great analysis, Fil! Thank God no Melodyne back then...or when exactly did they start with "remastering"? Does Remastering necessarly mean pitch altering and autotune? Who decides that this is actually necessary with great singers like this? Emmylou with Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton is pure pleasure to listen to. Apparently Ella Fitzgerald was so pitch perfect that the orchestra tuned to her voice. Keep up the great work. Cheers.
Such a professional sounding group. Everyone was on solid form.
I have such a soft spot for a pedal steel guitar ❤ reminds me of Santo & Johnny.
Never heard this one before! She is one of my favorite artists. Growing up, I learned so much about singing from just listening to and trying to imitate her. One of my favorites is, "Prayer In Open D", which I learned for voice class and had hoped to sing in public one day.
Someone needs to make a movie about Emmylou and Gram Parsons. Those were amazing years and the grief shown in the song “ Boulder To Birmingham” leads you to believe it would be a compelling story.
Enjoyed.
This makes me hope that Fil will do other analysis videos of other musicians of the caliber. Please do NEW GRASS REVIVAL.
My introduction to Emmylou was with during her bluegrass/traditional period when she came out with her album, Roses in the Snow. Her work with Ricky Skaggs and Vince Gill was fantastic. She's introduced me to so many other artists through her work with them. Her musical integrity is inspiring.
Here in the states, we call that “chicken pickin!” Albert Lee - a virtuoso country picker from England!
It's a work of art.. to play like this . Absolutely fantastic..😎🎸🎶🎶
