great country music
This collection of music is very entertaining and worth the cost of the CD's.


Portraits
It arrived on time and in the condition advertised. The product is what I expected.


'Portrait' of a great singer
I was enthralled with her soulfully smooth voice back when I was a kid. I remember buying an album back in the mid-1970's - Emmylou Harris' "Blue Kentucky Girl" - on a trip to Colorado, and eagerly waiting to get back home to play it.

This collection features several selections from that album, but is an excellent overview of some of her finest work, including the Dolly Parton-Linda Ronstadt "Trio" days. "Portraits" contains some of my very favorite Emmylou tracks: "Roses In The Snow", "Millworker", "Two More Bottles Of Wine", "Luxury Liner", "Save The Last Dance For Me".

Some of her best duet work is here, too, including her early work with Gram Parsons.


Listen
Emmylou is a true artist and wonderful lyricist. Comparing Emmylou to Dolly is like comparing apples and oranges, and being a professor of writing, I feel I know a thing or two about making comparisons. That is, she not only knows exactly how to move the listener through unique, unbelievable and articulate vocalization (which is less constructed, more fluid and more organic than Dolly's twang ever could be), but she knows how to write a damn good song. Emmylou is one of the best female vocalists of our time. If one knows how to listen, and listening is an art, one will hear. Now let's all take a moment to listen and let this woman shine out. .


Spiritual music
No disrepect to Dolly Parton but there's just no comparison - to my mind it's only the stuff very close to Dolly's heart and experience (e. This lady brings out the soul in everything she touches. g. coat of many colours etc) where she manages anything like this brooding angel.
