Emmylou Harris Tonight

Forums:

Never seen her before, but is playing tonight right down the road with the Red Dirt Boys.

Run, don't walk.  

She's not face-melting in a jam band sort of way, but she has a great beautiful voice.

It's a good plan to go 

She's purty!

GTTS.   You will not regret it.

It's been a decade since i've seen her but she is an amazing artist.

She has a certain angelic quality.  Like she's floating in the air.  Was lucky to get a chance to talk with her years ago at my first record store job in Virginia when she wandered in one afternoon.  She was as down-to-earth as could be.  She's special and enormously talented.  Enjoy.

I bet Emmy Lou would love to see this thread..... it would make her day!  :)

Fortunate to hear her with the Skaggs version of the Hot Band a couple of times, acoustic at the Birchmere with members of Seldom Scene.

Enjoy!

I had the biggest crush on Emmy Lou during the Luxury Liner days and for a while after that. I mean, who wouldn't?

>>>>has a certain angelic quality. 

Yes, angelic its was.   Everything about the show was perfect without coming across as sterile or contrived.   With a backing bands called the "Red Dirt Boys," thought it would be more straightforward honky-tonk and country rock, but the songs were diverse in style and spanned her entire career.   Band was impeccable.  Top notch multi-instrumentalists with not one bad or unnecessary note the whole night.

The show was also shrouded in a thick fog.   One of the top three foggiest shows I have seen.   Kinda of cool.

Dale Watson opened.

Dale Watson is dope. 

Red Dirt Boys' Will Kimbrough is a bit of a monster.  So many credits across music disciplines.
