Vintage Emmylou
Not a real c&w fan, I purchased this cd for C'est la Vie (written by Chuck Berry) and every song was wonderful.


A new favorite
All the songs are good, and even though I had never heard "Boulder to Birmingham," it has become one of my favorites. I have always loved Emmylou Harris' lilting voice, and I really enjoy this CD. .


Emmy's Best
I wore out two cassette tapes and then purchased two CDs of it. I have had an LP copy of this album since it came out, which was before CDs. It was one of the first albums on which I found that I liked every song on it.

No doubt about it, Boulder To Birmingham is my favorite.

Not many have the staying power of Emmy Lou Harris. She is, quite simply, wonderful.


Wonderful!
The original album had to make way for the world of CDs. This is my 3rd copy of this wonderful album/CD. The first CD was accidently broken and I replaced it the same day. I think it's one of her top 5 albums. I love them all.


Small sample of her early work
It draws heavily on the Pieces Of The Sky album with these great songs If I Could Only Win Your Love, Too Far Gone and Boulder To Birmingham, her moving elegy to Gram Parsons. Although Profile is a wonderful listening experience, it doesn't quite do justice to the early work of this amazing songbird.

Other very beautiful songs include the gentle love ballad Sweet Dreams, the sad story song To Daddy, Making Believe, a yearning song of lost love, and the stirring Together Again. With her crystalline vocals, her expert phrasing and her tasteful choice of material, Emmylou has created a magnificent body of work.

Now for the omissions! When I Stop Dreaming from Luxury Liner is Emmylou at her best. Till I Gain Control Again and Satan's Jewel Crown from Elite Hotel are must haves. And the sublime My Songbird from Quarter Moon In A Ten Cent Town is one of the most spiritual songs she ever recorded.

In the light of this, I award this album only four stars, but Profile is still a great sample of her work from that time. I recommend that you get all of the aforementioned albums so as not to miss out on any of her gems.
