Thread Name: Review: Red Dirt Girl (Emmylou Harris)
Subject: RE: Emmylou, Red Dirt Girl?
Well, I like it for the songwriting/poetry, which may not be perfect, but is darned good. I agree that the instruments overshadow the voice sometimes. I like some of the more experimental percusion however.

But I'm also in an emotional space right now that is aided and abetted by these mournful tunes, so she's singing my song ... I still listen and listen and listen and am learning Michelangelo and Hour of Gold.

And THERE you ARE, Peter T. I haven't heard from you in a while ...
