Emmylou Harris Luxury Liner CD

 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.

 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.

 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.
