A classic modern country album, THE TRIO is as pretty as music gets. The ethereal harmony vocals of three of popular music's sweetest swingers, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, would be enough--their harmonies couldn't have been closer if they were triplets. But THE TRIO offers something more, gathering songs that not only utilize their natural singing talents but also bring out the emotional timbre of their collective voice.
From the ultra-pretty Phil Spector pop classic "To Know Him Is To Love Him" to the hard-country Jimmie Rodgers song "Hobo's Meditation" and the high-lonesome "Memories Of You," THE TRIO brims with musicality. There are several traditional songs, a folk song written by Jean Ritchie, the spine-tingling gospel standard "Farther Along" and some strong Dolly Parton originals. On "Telling Me Lies," written by Linda Thompson, Linda Ronstadt delivers one of her most controlled performances ever.
Import edition of multi-platinum 1987 Grammy winner that's out-of-print domestically. Featuring Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris. Highlights include, 'Making Plans', 'Those Memories of You', 'I've Had Enough', 'Hobo's Meditation', 'Wildflowers', 'To Know Him Is To Love Him' (Phil Spector) & 'Telling Me Lies' (Linda Thompson).

WHAT A CLASSIC ALBUM!!! What more can you want than having Emmylou, Dolly, and Linda singing these wonderful songs. My personal favorite is "To Know Him Is To Love Him". A must buy if you like country music. Submitted by Johnny ("Nashville,TN,USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 3 found this helpful.
3 Sweethearts of Music History I enjoy this melodious blending of talent from Dolly Parton,Emmylou Harris,and Linda Ronstadt. These artists combine their gifts of song, and create a sweet collection of tantalizing favorites I love.
One favorite is a beautiful cover of the great oldie, To know him is to love him. Anyone who hears that sweet song is taken back to the romance of the 50s era.
I think the collection is beautiful, where each artist is given a song to lead;Parton has my heart in Those memories of You.Ronstadt has my sweet affection in Telling me Lies. I also love Harris, when she sings lead in My Dear Companion.
The wonderful voices join together in that beautiful cover of gospel hit Farther Along. Submitted by Rosie (Long Island, New York) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 0 of 1 found this helpful.
