Subject: RE: Green Pastures, Willie & Emmylou, CD?
Well...........Actually Steve and Robin, "Green Pastures" is on one of my favorite albums (although I no longer have a copy), Roses in the Snow. Willie is indeed on the track playing guitar, but the duet vocal is Ricky Skaggs and the harmony is Dolly Parton! Bryan Bowers also plays autoharp on that cut.
