StarPolish Interview With Emmylou Harris - Page 7

STARPOLISH: Is this the first time you've toured with him?

HARRIS: Yes, it's the first time ever touring with him. I've done some singing on a couple of his records, and he very graciously sang on Wrecking Ball and on the record with Linda, The Western Wall: [The Tucson Sessions], so I've hung with him and [his wife] Pegi. But to just be apart of that entourage... it's just a great thing to have on your resume (laughs).

STARPOLISH: It's hard to imagine you needing resume builders at this point.

HARRIS: No, but just thinking about it — wow, I was able to go out and do that! His music means so much to me. If I'm ever at a loss at something to listen to, I can just reach for any record of his and put it on and find something I that I had missed, that I had overlooked...

STARPOLISH: EvenTrans?(laughing)

HARRIS: Well, Trans is a little difficult (laughs). I'm going to get to that one. I'm moving toward it. There will be a time in my life when I get to it. But you know what? That's part of whatever it takes for him to be Neil. I trust him.

    I'm just commenting so a link to this fine interview with the lovely Emmylou will appear on the front page once again, albeit briefly. "Good music will never be lost -- I really believe that."

    emmylou is one of my favorites. I love the sound of her soft soothing voice and comes from a generation that seemed to care about what was going on. I hope she records many more. She is right. Good music will never be lost and if you are willing to look for it instead of settle for some of the stuff they are putting out now, you wil find it.
