Portraits»rank:par: Emmylou Harris
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Compared to her sometime singing partner Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris is not an especially distinctive singer or songwriter. She lacks the raw talent to match the towering high points of Parton's career, but at the same time Harris has managed to avoid the embarrassing lapses that have plagued Parton. Harris has exhibited a deep understanding of what makes the best country music endure and a stubborn refusal to accept anything less. You can comb through her 20 albums and never find an embarrassingly corny novelty number, a shamelessly maudlin ... |

Luxury Liner»rank: 85819par: Emmylou Harris
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:By 1977, Emmylou Harris's Hot Band had truly hit its stride, adding electric-guitar wizard Albert Lee to an already powerful core of Ricky Skaggs, Glen D Hardin, Rodney Crowell, and Hank DeVito. Harris's mix of material remained eclectic, but confident, with room for everybody from the Carter Family and the Louvin Brothers to Chuck Berry and Townes Van Zandt, who contributes his masterful 'Pancho & Lefty'. ln addition to the requisite Gram Parsons tunes, Harris also gently tackles the country standard 'Making Believe'. --Marc Greilsamer |

Elite Hotel»rank: 70971par: Emmylou Harris
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:After introducing her country-rock recipe on Pieces of the Sky, Emmylou Harris returned later in 1975 with a strikingly similar sophomore effort that continued to blend traditional and contemporary elements. Here she revisits three tunes from the pen of old friend Gram Parsons, including 'Sin City' and 'Wheels', two of his most enduring compositions. However, she really struck it big by interpreting two of country music's most recognisable standards--Buck 0wens's 'Together Again' and Don Gibson's 'Sweet Dreams' (a huge hit for Patsy Cline)--riding them both to the top of ... |

Cimarron»rank: 46751par: Emmylou Harris
Chroniques et points de vue:From :By the time Emmylou Harris released Cimarron in 1981, she'd established herself as one of country music's most dependable performers. Dependable is also the word that applies to this 11-song collection. Lacking the musical cohesiveness of its immediate predecessor, the bluegrass-flavored Roses in the Snow, as well as the thematic thrust of her next ambitious outing, 1985's The Ballad of Sally Rose, Cimarron feels like a bookmark in the singer's extensive catalog. Which isn't to say that it isn't studded with some stunners, including a resolute cover of Poco's ... |

All the Roadrunning»rank: 46751par: Mark Knopfler, Emmylou Harris
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0ver the last seven years, Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris quietly recorded an album by stealing 'a few precious hours of studio time here and there,' as the ex-Dire Straits singer/guitarist puts it. Good thing they kept it largely under wraps--expectations would have pushed through the clouds, especially as Knopfler conjured 10 of the 12 cuts, and Harris, who writes potently, but little, contributed two ('Love and Happiness,' 'Belle Starr'). Yet now that it's here, All the Roadrunning--while beautiful--seems somehow underwhelming, and without a true centerpiece. Anyone familiar with ... |

Last Date»rank: 87008par: 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 ... |
