 (5 Customer Reviews)
I FEEL THE BLUES MOVIN' IN is the second set of previously unreleased Trio recordings that were cut in 1994. "After The Gold Rush" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals. TRIO II was nominated for the 2000 ... Full DescriptionGrammy Award for Best Country Album.
Ever since Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt made their Grammy-winning TRIO album in 1987, fans have been clamoring for a sequel. It took twelve years to follow up with Trio II. Harris, Parton and Ronstadt--pop/country queens with three of the most angelic voices ever to grace the airwaves--have been singing together since 1975. Though each has her own distinctive sound, the three blend beautifully.
The material is dizzyingly eclectic, encompassing the old-timey 1934 Carter Family song "Lover's Return," Neil Young's trippy "After the Gold Rush," Randy Newman's lovely "Feels Like Home" and the atmospheric pop of "Blue Train." Harris, Parton and Ronstadt divide up the leads on the tracks, each matching her voice to the material that suits it best. Highlights include the bluesy "I Feel the Blues Movin' In" (Parton), the melodic "High Sierra" (Ronstadt) and, surprisingly, "After the Gold Rush" (Parton), which is given an almost New Age feel. The instrumentation, featuring David Grisman's mandolin and Alison Krauss' fiddle, is tasteful and pristine, highlighting the real stars of the record--those three voices. Is Trio II really a country album? Not exactly. Was it worth the wait? Absolutely.

A crisp pure sound. Reminiscent of Allison Krause & Union Station in it's quality and delivery. Their vocal rendition of "After The Goldrush" is simply beautiful. This is a great CD

Three Singers One Heart
These three voices - each so distinctive on its own - blend so perfectly that I'd be happy listen to them sing the phone book. They truly are three wonderful singers with one heart. If you enjoy female harmonies you cannot be without this enchanting work.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Charming and touching
The beautiful photos of the three queens of country seem to capture the charm of the songs selected. Emotional and a little on the blue side, the songs are touching and gorgeously sung. Better than the original Trio
