29 Aug 00 - 05:56 PM (#287392) Subject: Emmylou Harris Alert! From: Peter T. Public Service Announcement: This week's New Yorker has a brief piece on the forthcoming Coen Brother's film, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and the documentary of the music from the film performed at a concert in the Ryman in Nashville. A picture accompanies this article. Included in this picture are (1) Gillian Welch; (2) John Hartford; (3) The Peasall Sisters; (4) Ralph Stanley; and (5) Emmylou. This is the great picture of Emmylou you have all been waiting for, guys (well, the fully clothed picture, anyway). Trust me. New Yorker, issue of Sept 4, pages 68-69. yours, Peter T. |

29 Aug 00 - 07:38 PM (#287462) Subject: RE: Emmylou Harris Alert! From: catspaw49 I saw that one awhile back kat......really wonderful and a very different Dave Mathews. Ah. but sweet Emmy.........She brought something different to Country and added so much. In many ways a true folksinger as she is well versed and an excellent performer of the mountain songs as well as early country. Not everyone likes that voice, but for me, there is none like it and her many associations over the years have given her a versatility almost unmatched. I never tire of hearing or seeing her. Gotta' go get a copy of the New Yorker..........Cletus can use the rest of it for whatever..........gawd, I don't even want to think about him reading it. Spaw |

30 Aug 00 - 03:40 PM (#288061) Subject: RE: Emmylou Harris Alert! From: SDShad What Joe says is true, it's true. Dear Emmylou just has that effect on us. Even a hard-bitten, miles-on-the-road type like Steve Earle gets all mushy and chivalric when Emmylou comes up. I've been hopelessly, head-over-heels in love with the girl ever since the first time I listened to her vocals on Gram Parsons' "Grievous Angel" in 1985. It's a one-sided affair, it's true, but I think my wife suspects. :-) So, uhm, did somebody say they were gonna scan the New Yorker photo????? Chris |

31 Aug 00 - 04:05 AM (#288373) Subject: RE: Emmylou Harris Alert! From: Joe Offer What is your implication here, Mountain Tyme? That Emmylou won't give me the time of day? I went to the library today and looked for the New Yorker. The September 4 issue hasn't reached California yet. Still, the previous issue had two great stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer. If you haven't read singer, you're missing something. Hmmm. I wonder if Emmylou likes Jewish authors... -Joe Offer- |

31 Aug 00 - 10:02 AM (#288507) Subject: RE: Emmylou Harris Alert! From: Peter T. (Worth another trip, Joe, believe me). As with virtually everything else, I am in total agreement with Cp. "The shadows filling up this land, are the ones I built with my own hand". Perfect line. As I have been working on open D, I went straight for this one. (can't do the 13th fret stuff alas). This song has the same quality as "Boulder to Birmingham" (a truly great song) -- she has the very rare ability to take old religious phrases and make them new, salting them with striking fresh images ("and the rock of ages I have known, is a weariness down in the bone"; "the last time I felt like this, I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire, and I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn). It is impressive because it is so hard to do without it going really bad. Dylan (to connect threads) did it; Leonard Cohen overdid it, but made it work occasionally. This is a very elite league. It requires absolutely impeccable taste (in the artistic sense). I wonder where she got that style from -- not from Parsons, as far as I can tell. yours, Peter T. |

From: catspaw49 Hi guys......This came up one time before when we were discussing Gibsons or something and Rick brought up Glen Reid then. She is of course mentioned on his website as is Rick, but I have rarely seen Emmylou anywhere without a J Gibson as her guitars. Last time I saw her live, she swapped guitars several times and all four used were Gibson J's. I'm sure Rick will have info and although I'm sure she probably loves Glen Reid Instruments, she also has a LONG association with Gibson as you can see from the NAMM 2000 Show(scroll to the bottom for the "Gibson Girl").

04 Sep 00 - 11:04 AM (#290744) Subject: RE: Emmylou Harris Alert! From: WyoWoman A couple of years ago in my office we got into a version of this same discussion and one of the other employees said something about a woman we all knew who was of the Pamela Anderson variety. And all the guys starting saying, "Whoo-hoo" and "Oh,yeah ... " You know, the usual articulate response. And I said, "Guys. Those are plastic bags. That's just little silicon or saline-filled baggies." They all fell silent for a minute or two, then Tom shrugged and said, in a sentence that sums up an area of significant difference between (some) men and (many) women: "I don't care. They're still hooters." Now back to Emmylou: What do you guys think about her hair, now that she's surrendered to the gray? Does that affect your affection? WW |

04 Sep 00 - 11:34 AM (#290761) Subject: RE: Emmylou Harris Alert! From: catspaw49 Truth told.......I just love her voice. And I love what she brings to a song. I think she probably has some amount of personal vanity (image consultant, etc.) and there's nothing wrong in that as I believe it tied in with the insecurity of wondering whether her songs are good enough, done well enough, and things like that. I also find her to be caring and compassionate and someone who has an honest concern for her own actions as well as the admirable trait of believing that "the shadows filling up this land are the ones I built with my own hand." She's aging well both emotionally and physically. Do I like the way she looks? Yeah.......But I think the package is what I see most and why I so loved that line, "an Heirloom Rose among the Daisies." The people I have as close friends meet that desciption pretty well too.

04 Sep 00 - 01:11 PM (#290818) Subject: RE: Emmylou Harris Alert! From: Peter T. Always nice to talk about fine ladies. I confess that I really love her style, and not her looks (not my type). She just carries herself well, and is as complex as a Siamese cat. I suppose I have to confess that her voice is, for me, on the edge. It has this tendency to grate -- she seems to sing through her teeth (open your mouth Emmy!) -- but when it works it is fabulous, with those gear shifts, and that great taste. The question that is a poser for me -- being a guy -- is the picture they printed in the New York Times Magazine -- the Internet version is far smaller and much less dramatic. If you see the real one, it is a full page, very unflattering picture - a "pores, scars, and all" shot, colour, and you can see the makeup. I can see the aesthetic point -- here I am, "pores and all". I was struck by it. But I wonder if many middle aged woman would like it, and she is one. I showed it to a serious, very liberated, woman of my acquaintance who is her age, and she was really unhappy with it. Very ambivalent -- a sort of, yes I know we should be changing our response to pictures of middle-aged women, but still, what a terrible picture. I only raise the point because in the article Emmylou says that she will shop two hours for a lipstick. So she must have some vanity (pride?). I wonder what her reaction to the picture would be. It was deliberately done: so she must have had some veto power of some sort. Obviously a touchy subject for a male to bring up (we are supposedly blessed with the counter-aesthetic, the weather beaten manly look), but the picture did make me wonder. yours, Peter T. |

04 Sep 00 - 01:52 PM (#290842) Subject: RE: Emmylou Harris Alert! From: catspaw49 You're so erudite and thoughtful PT............. I just thought she was aging and still doing the best with what she has. There's always been a bit of the "beat/hippie/earth mother" look about her and age is showing the character that is, as you so well point out, prized in men......at least generally. I like that look in women too.....just a personal opinion. Thinking of that always makes me think of Clark Gable. In his day he was considered to be a handsome man. For me, he never looked better than he did in "The Misfits" which was done just before he died. I hope that isn't a sign you're about to croak! Spaw |

04 Sep 00 - 02:17 PM (#290861) Subject: RE: Emmylou Harris Alert! From: Peter T. Of course exactly the same thing could be said about Marilyn Monroe in the same picture. She looked like a battered angel. I don't know about Gable -- he was so good looking in Gone With The Wind, it would be hard to top. Even a hardboiled hetero like me can see that! But maybe you are right -- but he certainly looked dreadful in all those 50's pictures before The Misfits. Maybe he had two peaks. Given that the rest of us have foothills if we are lucky, it seems somehow unfair. yours, Peter T. |

From: Raggytash You have to note Allen you are in a minority, it seems to me that nearly every major recording artist has sung with Emmylou at some point, she must be doing something right. Personally I think her harmonies are beautiful and she seems to be able to perform in many different genres of music. |

18 Jan 11 - 01:23 AM (#3076906) Subject: RE: Emmylou Harris Alert! From: eddie1 I feel sorry for all you guys who are in love with Emmlou. You see, I KNOW she is deeply in love with me! She's just too shy and retiring to come out and admit it. I know a girl who used to be room-mates with Emmylou. I kep trying to get Liz to organise the same priveleges for me but again this shyness keeps creeping in. I will advise you if this situation changes - not to gloat you understand - just to point out the futility of your desires. Ah heck, if you want to dream, who am I to mock you? Eddie |

From: Dan Schatz I was so grateful to Emmylou, Mary Black and the whole Transatlantic session crowd for agreeing to donate the use of their recording of "The Green Rolling Hills of West Virginia" for the Singing Through the Hard Times Utah Phillips Tribute we put together. It is a remarkable track, and added much to the album. Dan |

Well, that's my website www.abarbeau.com and I am alive and kicking (and working non-stop I'm happy to say) but it's not me who sent that answer. Hopefully, I would have had a bit more sense of humour about the whole thing. But thanks for the mention - dead or alive! |

Sadly, he shuffled off the mortal coil several years back. Though he was wrong about your demise, he would have been the first to congratulate you for still being around a decade after his mistake. I'm glad to hear that the checks are still coming in. |

23 Jan 11 - 10:59 PM (#3081161) Subject: RE: Emmylou Harris Alert! From: GUEST,Reilley Mannix When working in DC in the early 1970's I used to go to club called The Assembly. Saw Roberta Flack there, I think. I used to go see a very young and fresh Emmy Lou there. If I remember right she played with just 2 other musicians (bass and another guitar I think). Went one night and found she was sick. A really young-looking blond kid named Lawrence Hammond accompanied by a really good piano player filled in. He had some pretty good western songs but I can't remember exactly what he sang. What became of him? I got the impression he was not from around DC. |

24 Jan 11 - 01:39 AM (#3081197) Subject: RE: Emmylou Harris Alert! From: eddie1 One of my favourite tracks of all time has to be ELH, Dolores Keane and Mary Black singing an almost acapella version of Cyril Tawney's "Grey Funnel Line". I say almost acapella because it has the most tasteful, laid back, non-intrusive backing of concertina and mandolin I have ever heard. As a team effort they bring out the nostalgia and longing of the song in a way not even the great Cyril could. Brings tears to my eyes every time I play it. Eddie |
