Emmylou is Great!
I wore the tape out and just had to replace it. I loved this "album" of Emmylou's since I bought it years ago on tape. You can never go wrong with Emmylou Harris.

Sweet excess
The instrumentation, and the way the instruments are recorded, lend the album an austere and somewhat lonely feeling. This album has a style and sound all its own: sort of a late-80s impressionist country. There are lots of big, crashing drums, almost like timpanis, and dramatic cymbal crashes. There are also a lot of twinkling pianos and the occasional austere-sounding synthesizer. I know I'm not making it sound very good, but the total effect is sublime. Sometimes Emmylou and her producer try too hard to wrench the emotion from your soul, but at least as often they are successful. And when you get to the last steel guitar solo which ends the last (incredible) song, you'll forget about any of the album's excesses. Buy it!

Bluebiurd flies high
Hauting melodies and wonderful lyrics beautifully sung. Outstanding-the best of Emmylou Harris. Amust for anyone who is a fan or who wants a great introduction to a great performer.

The Sopranos led me to Bluebird...
I was hooked, I purchased the CD for the song "Heaven only Knows" and was not disappointed in the least. One of her songs played on the first episode of season five. Instead, I gained a favorite new artist who's voice is beautiful- words cannot describe it and who's songs are utterly gorgeous, sometimes sad but always lovely. I plan to collect all of her albums and continue falling in love with Emmylou Harris's wonderful and unique style of music.
