 (2 Customer Reviews)
On the late '80s release BLUEBIRD, Harris performs the poignant "Lonely Street," Johnny Cash's dreamlike "I Still Miss Someone," and her own sorrow-drenched tune, "A River For Him." Guest musicians such as Bonnie Raitt, and Kate and Anna McGarrigle, among others, support Harris's beautiful vocal performances.
Often called a new traditionalist, singer/songwriter Emmylou Harris has built a career on revamping classic honky-tonk music while striving to keep the idiom fresh and modern. Harris's music has roots. She knows the repertoire and is steeped in the history of North American folk and C&W music.

Bluebird
 $9.49   
You've got to know an album that opens with the line "I hear the clock a-tickin'" is going to demonstrate more than a passing interest in the process by which we grow older and, hopefully, wiser. COWGIRL'S PRAYER, Emmylou Harris' 17th studio album, presents its somber meditations on life and love in an appropriately lovely, quiet acoustic setting. The overall mood of this record is adult and reflective, but not melancholy. On the contrary, as she declares on the opening track, Harris adamantly and optimistically believes she still has "A Ways to Go." The album that follows amply supports her claim.
As usual, Harris exploits her encyclopedic knowledge of American music to come up with 11 great numbers, including songs by Tony Joe White ("High Powered Love"), Lucinda Williams ("Crescent City," an homage to New Orleans), Leonard Cohen ("Ballad of a Runaway Horse") and Jesse Winchester ("Thanks to You"). Two standout tracks are among the disc's quietest: David Olney's "Jerusalem Tomorrow," a gospel narrative with a nifty twist, and "Prayer in Open D," a rare Harris original. Alison Krauss, Trisha Yearwood, Al Perkins, and Sam Bush are among the luminaries lending instrumental and vocal support.
Recorded at Jack's Tracks Recording Studio, Nashville, Tennessee.

On this 1987 recording, Emmylou Harris focuses on country ballads with a Christian bent.

| | Emmylou Harris Brand New Dance CD (1990)
Bluebird
$10.49
1990's BRAND NEW DANCE, Emmylou Harris' 16th studio album, is another in a line of excellent efforts by one of modern country's finest artists. The album was Harris' first (excepting a Christmas album and a gospel record) to fail to produce a Top 40 country hit. Abandoned by the commercial country machine (or liberated from it, depending on your take), Harris would soon begin experimenting with her sound, resulting in a successful collaboration with rock producer Daniel Lanois (WRECKING BALL), and a tour with an edgy backing band (SPYBOY).
Nothing about BRAND NEW DANCE points to Harris' imminent commercial demise; the songs, playing, and performances here are typically impeccable and impassioned. Songwriter/husband Paul Kennerley contributes two of the album's best compositions, "Sweet Dreams of You" and the title track. Harris also plucks gems from the catalogs of Bruce Springsteen ("Tougher Than the Rest"), Robin and Lynda Williams ("Rollin' and Ramblin'"), and David Mallet ("Red Red Rose"). The album's overriding themes, yearning and heartache, dovetail nicely with the understated backing tracks and Harris' aching, quavering vocals. Those seeking evidence of modern country's demise might well start with the unjust ...
