What song is your fav.Emmylou cut???

Don_s...Do you have the DVDA version, and played back on a good MC system? I can't understand your criticism of the song selection as it includes many of her most popular cuts. Since you can't stand to listen to the disc, why don't you send it off to Warrenh? Seriously.

Don_s, give me the go and I'll email you my address, and take that baby off your hands. Make me an offer I cannot refuse... :)

Couple of my favorites are Lucinda William's "Sweet Old World" from Wrecking Ball and Everly Bros.' "So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad)" from Last Date. She sure feels Lucinda's pain on "Sweet Old World"--what a great interpretation.

I haven't listened to Red Dirt Girl (or anything newer than that that might feature her own songs), but when I think of Emmylou, I think, thank God for terrific singers who know terrific songs when they see'em and can bring them to life in their own way. One of the "values" that emerged from the rock era that I think is not so valid, especially when applied to other genres, is that a performer isn't a first class artist if they don't come up with their own music. Artists like EH don't need to write and perform their own stuff to elevate their artistic standing. (But this is not a comment on EH's own stuff one way or the other.)

Speaking of writing music, the song on her solo "Stumble into Grace" cd titled "Strong Hand" is quite remarkable as a piece of writing and as a performance. One of my current favs. And there's lots of good stuff on Trio and Trio 2. The Western Wall with ELH and LR as a duo is not nearly as good.

I like many of Emmylou's cuts but "Millworker" has always stopped me in my tracks.

Saw her at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia this year and she was great although she didn't do "Millworker."
