This album is an amazing addition to her already impressive catalog. 757123@blogcritics.org Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:43:33 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/17/232612.php#comment-727051 Bought this album because I'm a huge Billy Joe Shaver fan and I wanted to hear what she'd do with "Old Five And Dimers Like Me". Must say that I love it, except the part where Starling sings solo, he can't keep up with her vocals IMHO. Also LOVE "Not Enough", which I accidentally happened to listen to on Friday after the news broke that Tim Russert had passed. It brought tears to my eyes, wonderfully sung, wonderful lyrics. Great album altogether. 727051@blogcritics.org Wed, 18 Jun 2008 11:27:58 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/17/232612.php#comment-727043 That is very cool. All I've ever read about her is pretty much as you described, which is always great to hear when we usually read about ego-driven excess of big music stars. The new album is great, too. She just keeps turning out good stuff - and I hope that doesn't stop for a long time. 727043@blogcritics.org Wed, 18 Jun 2008 11:01:01 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/17/232612.php#comment-727033 Hi Donald -- Sounds like last night was amazing! So cool that you had a moment with EmmyLou. Thought you might be interested in checking out this EmmyLou podcas interview (she also performs!) that is posted on Barnes & Noble Studio. Check it out 727033@blogcritics.org Wed, 18 Jun 2008 10:00:52 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/06/17/232612.php#comment-726984 Nicely done Donald. I think I read somewhere recently (maybe even here) that Emmylou is one of the best living arguments for older women to put away their hair color. Can't argue with that. And her voice is just as silky smooth as those now famous silver strands. A guy could certainly do a lot worse... -Glen 726984@blogcritics.org Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:37:23 EDT
