Her vocals are delicate and yet not cloying. Harris is our most talented "country" artist. She has collaborated with anyone who is anybody and this is a fine introduction to her most popular singles. Heartbreaking in places, this is one you will turn to again and again. .


Emmylou....none better
I've been a country fan all my life, mostly listening to my CD's though for the last decade because "new" country doesn't cut it. Wow, I had not listened to Emmylou much over the last few years and I'd forgotten how great her music is. I just got reaquainted with Emmylou and now I'll be adding her music to my CD collection. Unlike other singers, it seems every song she chooses to do sounds wonderful in her style. Her version of Save The Last Dance For Me is every bit as good as Jerry Lee's in it's own right. Blue Kentucky Girl is an absolute classic, her incredible vocals touch you deeply. All the songs on this collection are wonderful. . . I suggest getting this CD and her earlier Profile CD together, so you can listen to all her moving hits! Emmylou is truly a country icon.


My favorite female singer of the late 20th century
There is no such thing as too much Emmylou, and this is a great addition to any collection.


When Emmylou sings,even the Angels stop to listen.
That means it is has been 59 years since her voice was first heard, and in that time untold millions have been captivated by this artist and her songs.
It's hard to believe that Emmylou was born in Birmingham ,Alabama,on 2 April '49. One often hears the comment that "She has the voice of an Angel". That may be an overworked phrase;but if anyone comes close to singing like an Angel;it has to be Emmylou.
This is an excellent sample of just a small part of her extensive work;or what is more appropriately called her artistry. Emmylou has recorded so many spectacular songs,I have to admit I find it impossible to pick favorites. I guess the only thing I can say is what Roger Tory Peterson ,America's most famous Birdwatcher, said when asked ;"What is your favorite bird? His reply;"The one I'm looking at ,at the time. "
I would also have to say that my favorite Emmylou song would have to be the one I'm listening to.

The Album has 10 wonderful Songs

1) Blue Kentucky Girl
2) Wayfaring Stranger
3) Beneath Still Waters
4) Born To Run
5) Someone Like You
6) Mister Sandman
7) Pledging My Love
8) I'm Movin'On
9) On Our last Date
10) Save The Last Dance For Me

These are all well known and loved songs by Emmylou ;and I love them all. Other reviewers have commented on certain songs. The one I would like to highlight is "I'm Movin' On" . This is Hank Snow's signature song and Johnny Cash also did fantastic rendition of it. I guess most would think of this as a song more suited to a male singer;but when you hear Emmylou sing it,you will only conclude that it can also be sung by an Angel. When a female singer can come up with a deep down "growl",you know that she is as good as the best. Man;what a job Emmylou does on this old favorite.
A great selection of songs by one of the best.

My favorite sing along CD
I play along on my guitar at home. I catch my self singing along in the car. Blue Kentucky girl is one of my all time favorites. I'm not a big country fan, but I love this CD anyway. Her style is simple and clean and heart-felt.
