Personnel: Emmylou Harris (vocals, guitar); Nicolette Larson (vocals); Rodney Crowell, Albert Lee (guitar, background vocals); Brian Ahern, James Burton, Rick Cunha (guitar); Hank DeVito (pedal steel guitar); Mike Auldridge (dobro); Ricky Skaggs (fiddle, mandolin); Mickey Raphael (harmonica); Glen D. Hardin (piano); Emory Gordy (bass); John Ware (drums); Fayssoux Starling, Herb Pedersen, Dianne Brooks, Dolly Parton (background vocals).
Recorded at the Enactron Truck, Beverly Hills, California. Originally released on Warner Bros. (2998).
Luxury Liner ranks as Emmylou Harris' best-selling solo record to date, and it's one of her most engaging efforts as well; her Hot Band is in peak form, and the songs are even more far afield than usual, including Chuck Berry's "(You Never Can Tell) C'est la Vie" and Townes Van Zandt's painterly tale of aging outlaws, "Pancho & Lefty." ~ Jason Ankeny
LUXURY LINER, Emmylou Harris' third album, found Harris' Hot Band undergoing a major transformation. Quick-picking maestro Albert Lee replaced lead guitarist James Burton. And future mega-star Ricky Skaggs, fresh from a stint with bluegrass pioneers J.D. Crowe and the New South, also signed on, taking Rodney Crowell's place. The result was a different, but equally breathtaking, version of what was fast earning a reputation as country music's finest ensemble.
Aside from the personnel changes, LUXURY LINER is a typical early Harris album, filled with wonderful songs and performed with tons of feeling and tremendous skill. Harris takes mentor Gram Parson's title track and kicks it up a notch, allowing Lee to show off his trademark chops. Townes Van Zandt's "Pancho and Lefty" immediately follows and, while this isn't the recording of the song that topped the charts (Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard had a hit with it later), it clearly laid the blueprint for the blockbuster version. Other standout tracks on this uniformly excellent album include Chuck Berry's "C'est La Vie," the Louvin Brothers' "When I Stop Dreaming," and the Carter Family classic "Hello Stranger."

Rolling Stone (4/25/02, p.80) - 4.5 stars out of 5 - "...A premonitory mix of country rock, bluegrass, Texas folk, hill-country balladry, rockabilly twang and traditional country....This album is her apex: superbly chosen songs, hot picking and a definitive representation of her plangent, romantic sensibility..."
Entertainment Weekly (2/27/04, p.99) - "[Harris] drew on [Gram Parsons's] earthy country eclecticism and blossomed." - Rating: B+
Q (4/04, p.132) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[I]ts Parsons-penned title track and Townes Van Zandt 'Pancho And Lefty' deftly showcasing her breadth."
Uncut (4/04, p.112) - 5 stars out of 5 - "LUXURY LINE finds the voice even more expressive, sad-sweet with the subtlest ache, drawing out vowels almost as if blowing glass."

Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

3 stars i loved the luxuryliner album in the middle 70's
I had the chance to see Emmylou live on the grass in Park City Utah around 1980. She had 7 encores. Her "hot band", as they were called, played most of luxury Liner songs. The song "luxury liner" and "Poncho and Lefty" are still one of my favorites along with "making believe". Luxery Liner is really a fast paced song showing off the great picking of the band. Well worth the money.

5 stars The high-water mark of Emmylou Harris' career
With her third album, Emmylou Harris showed the rest of the world, why she was the reigning queen of countryrock. Having released two superb records, she was still able to release an album that could outshine them all. Brian Ahern's production is first class and The Hot Band literally lives up to their name. Resident songwriter Rodney Crowell wrote one of the outstanding tracks, "You're Supposed To Be Feeling Good", with lyrics that sound like they might have been written with Emmylou Harris in mind! On this particular song ex-Elvis Presley sideman James Burton shows why he is such a fantastic guitar player. But the same could be said about all the other musicians and singers. Excellent choice of songs and thoughtful arrangements. This is a personal favourite among many excellent recordings. This is history.

5 stars A Timeless Classic!
I've been a tireless music addict all my life, and will always be. I do like all kinds of music, as well as a lot of country music, and "Luxury Liner" is a timeless, stunning album from a terrific artist. Although I'm not a fan too much of female artists, there is something that works far too well here with the amazing voice of Emmylou Harris and the music combined. This also goes for her mostly forgotten and underrated 1981 album "Evangeline". One main thing that is so fascinating about these 2 albums is my father used to have them on cassette and play them almost all the time when I was a little child, and it was around the period when I was 6 through 9 years old. The amazing memories of hearing that music have still come back to haunt me just like it did back in those days every time I continue to play those 2 albums and my father and mother would play those tapes in his car whenever we went places. For one thing, if it wasn't for my father, I would probably never have discovered such great music from a great artist. Thanks Papa! Sticking to the subject of the "Luxury Liner" album, I've always considered it to be one of the best sounding albums I've ever heard, as well. Every song is magnificent! Whether it be the stunning ballad "You're Supposed To Be Feeling Good" or her superb cover of Chuck Berry's "You Never Can Tell", Emmylou Harris has made a true one-of-a-kind masterpiece from start to finish.

Having two songs on the Midnight Cowboy soundtrack and then being fortunate enough to be selected by John Lennon and Yoko Ono as their backing band, Elephants Memory is a highly enjoyable footnote in rock history.

WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING ABOUT THE ALBUM:"Charm to spare." Cassavettes "hangs fragile melodies, gloomy strings, and casually chiming guitar figures over a series of lived-in acoustic shuffles, swampy open-road stompers, and broken-down breakdowns." -Luke O'Neil, Boston Globe, CD Pick of the Week (December 2006)Cassavettes has a "talent for playing scratchy indie folk-rock tunes with Texas-size harmonies and complex arrangements." -Kerry Purcell, Boston Herald"Deeply-rooted rock with big nasty teeth is the specialty of Cassavettes." On this record, the band has "wrestled a mix of influences from the Band to the Byrds to the MC5 into their own contemporary distillation." -Will Spitz, The Phoenix"The music is tight and poppy, rooted in good ole ass kickin’ rock ’n’ roll. The riffs are off-kilter enough so that while it’s radio friendly, it’s not TOO radio friendly — like an Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, and Mojo Nixon love child."-Kier Byrnes, The Noise MagazineA BIT ABOUT THE ALBUM AND ITS CREATORS:The cryptic album title to Boston Americana/folk-rock group Cassavettes first full-length, "It's Gonna Change," immediately raises questions. Well, mostly: What's gonna change?But after listening song by song, the answer becomes a bit less enigmatic. "It's Gonna Change" is an album filled with metaphors of growth and indecision, love lost and found, and the persistence of time. All the while, it keeps an eye toward history and its vulnerability to be rewritten or forgotten. For an example of the depth of loss the album explores, follow the trance-inducing country guitar hook in the opening track, "The Nadir," to the first line and listen closely: "I remember the moment my dream died." The song recalls a true story of being caught in the most difficult of decisions, having to choose between advancing a career in the press or compromising the happiness of a family mourning over the sudden loss of their only son. It climaxes with the powerful line: "A man can't plan his legacy/ His course is blind but he follows it/ When my path comes to its end/ I just ...
