EMMYLOU HARRIS
Knoxville, TN 1979 [no label, 2CD]
Unknown venue; May 18, 1979. Good to very good soundboard.
Already celebrated as a discoverer and interpreter of other artists’ songs, Emmylou Harris has, in the last decade, gained admiration as much for her eloquently straightforward songwriting as for her incomparably expressive singing. But from 1977 until Blue Kentucky Girl in 1979, Harris was playing more “traditional” country - “classic-styled country material in the vein of Loretta Lynn and Kitty Wells”.
Thanks to the person who shared this on the net in 2006.
Uploader’s notes:
This is a soundboard recording from Emmylou’s 1979 tour following her Blue Kentucky Girl album… It features guest appearances by Sharon and Cheryl White. The source (which I received in a trade, therefore I don’t have any lineage info) had a short silence in “Sorrow in the wind”, which meant about two seconds were missing. To make it more listenable I’ve edited out one of the repeated “Sweet sorrow in the wind” lines at the end, the one that was incomplete because of the silence. Apart from that everything is there. I’ve also done some EQing and slight noise reduction to make the recording less dull. The results are pretty good.
