Anthology: Warner / Reprise..»rank: 468par: Emmylou Harris
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:lt's impossible to underestimate the impact of Emmylou Harris's sublime solo debut Pieces of the Sky, the 1975 album that propelled country music into a whole new era. And it is only right that Anthology, this welcome and long-overdue retrospective, should start off with three songs from that album, including 'Boulder to Birmingham'--a testament to her mentor Gram Parsons--and, a quarter of a century on, still one of the best examples of Harris's haunting vocal style. With the help of some rare singles and CD premieres, the 40-odd tracks ... |

Spyboy»rank: 39998par: Emmylou Harris
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Most pop musicians in their 50s spend their stage time reflecting on past accomplishments. Emmylou Harris, on the other hand, is still moving forward, seeking new challenges and pushing into new musical territory. Always artistically restless, Harris has offered nearly a quarter century of interesting ideas. However, at age 51, she's creating some of the most lasting and moving music of her life. Fronting a band featuring the New 0rleans rhythm section of drummer Brady Blade and bassist Darryl Johnson, and with alternative-country hero Buddy Miller on guitar, Harris ... |

Last Date»rank: 87023par: Emmylou Harris
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Emmylou Harris's Last Date had a nobler purpose than scaling the country charts in 1982. Harris envisioned the album as a statement for her Hot Band's preeminence as a live-gig ensemble. To prove that point, she assembled Last Date's 12 tracks from a tour of California honky-tonks, places where Harris imagined a listener might get the essence of country music--which seen through these tracks more closely resembles the later-emerging alternative-country scene than most of the 1990s' commercial 'young' country. She chose a program of cover tunes, no fewer than ... |

At the Ryman»rank: 32422par: Emmylou Harris
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:While live recordings can be treasured mementoes for those who were present at the show, they're often substandard versions of favourite material. The live At the Ryman avoids this by covering the material of artists who've influenced Harris's music, rather than concentrating on her own hits. From Steve Earle and Bill Monroe to the Everly Brothers and Creedence Clearwater Revival, her choices are solid and sometimes unexpected (Bruce Springsteen). Harris's love of the music--and appreciation for the audience--shines through in these performances. The songs may have been done better ... |
