Nashville is not all you hope for. I live here Downtown and all it is, is Bar after Bar after Bar. and shitty cover non country music. no one has any! talent, Nashville is for those who like to waist there life on Beer, Sex, and shitty cover music. If I could, I'd move down to San Diego, Much better for country there. that's where all the old good country singers live like Emmylou here.

I have been a huge fan of Emmylou since 1980 and she is definitely my favorite singer. A strange thing happened today. I was sitting in a parking lot listening to the Red Dirt Girl CD which I have not really listened to much. I sat and listened to this song and it really hit me deep down. How had I missed it that this is truly a musical work of genius, both in songwriting and performance? The truly great ones can use music and lyrics to reach deep down into our heart and soul. What a blessing to the world she is.

Ms. Harris may never escape her beauty or the compulsion of the rest of us to comment on it. Between God and her gene pool, she’s been gifted that blessing and curse. What is more subtle and far more impactful and so much more powerful are her values, talent, dedication to beautiful causes. This song easily is one of my favorites by any artist and she sings the story so well that her voice echoes the melody and lyric between my ears long after she’s done singing.

Please! I love Emmylou but she was more than 10 years into her career before she even attempted writing. She has written a few good songs but nearly all of her best recordings were whiny someone else. There is nothing wrong with that. She’s a superb vocalist. But let’s not pretend she’s Dolly Parton as a songwriter.

@tomtorrell8019 3 жыл бұрын

@@captainkangaroo4301 No..she is not mainly a songwriter but can write songs. Listen to Wrecking Ball. She has the uncanny ability to take songs others have written and to sing them better than anyone. IMHO She's the best female country singer than anyone, bar none, except maybe Patsy Cline. She's won 14 Grammy awards over the years.

@margaretross9150 3 жыл бұрын

@@captainkangaroo4301 I believe she wrote some of the songs that were on her on her only folk album, which came out in 1969 and didn't sell. She was about 22 then. Her beautiful tribute to Gram Parsons, Boulder to Birmingham, written by Emmylou and Bill Danoff, was on her first country album, Pieces of the Sky, which came out in 1975.

i wrote her this poem. Hope you get it Emmylou. Her Songs & Voice is heard around the world, the cosmos & celestial planets dance & play in a merry go round her beautiful singing of songs. Reflecting upon a time I’m sure in her arms her family’s love & friends embraced with a request O please sings us a song. In a wishing well I put in a dream mixed with prayers & tears of hope’s her angelic voice she would sing a joyful song to my special child at the time he was turning one. Her Angelic voice reflecting beauty of radiant tones she is Heavens own. May Love and Happiness long life of Health combined with the spinning of time her beautiful voice she shares, her Graceful voice is like sun shine stretching out on mountain tops around the world reflecting sparking dancing diamonds on warm aqua seas & oceans of blue, her footsteps trails a path gracefully at the entrance way inside Heavens Sanctuary where she takes her rest a special place that welcomes her Lovely name. Every flower as they start to bloom joyful colors sings her songs, her joyful laughter as soft as velvet roses equal her unforgettable name, her presents as comforting as white gardenias, and her voice is more sweeter than ice cream. GOD’ garden called paradise, the Garden of Eden, as for myself a time frame generation behind it remains We Love You Sweet Voice Emmy Lou.
