Free Music Review: The Best Duet Singer In The History Of Music
Hit: 5 Stars
Few singers, if any, have recorded as many duets as Emmylou Harris. With the most gorgeous voice in Country music, Emmylou Harris is possibly the BEST duet singer in the history of music. Warner Bros. pushed for the release of this album, primarily to capitalize on the success of TRIO (the masterpiece she recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton). Issued in 1990 by Reprise, DUETS is an remarkable collection of extraordinary music. These twelve duets are mainly her classics, recorded with an immpressive array of performers. Harris sounds great with Chris Hillman on the Desert Rose Band's "The Price I Pay". A marvelous uptempo opening track, with some terrific guitar playing. There has yet to be a more perfect sound than the blend on Emmylou Harris & Gram Parsons, especially on the definative version of "Love Hurts". This classic duet was first issued on Parsons' exceptional GRIEVOUS ANGEL album (GP/GRIEVOUS ANGEL is an essential CD). The third song on this collection is recorded by two of the greatest singers of all time, Roy Orbison and Emmylou Harris. "That Lovin' You Feelin' Again" from ROADIE, was a Grammy-winning classic. "We Believe In Happy Endings" is a gorgeous song, and a #1 hit, by Harris & Earl Thomas Conley. "Thing About You" with Southern Pacific, is excellent. Neil Young and Emmylou Harris have collaborated several times, but "Star Of Bethlehem" was one of the first, (so was Harris' Christmas single "Light Of The Stable"). "All Fall Down" is an exquisite duet with George Jones. "Wild Montana Skies" is a stunning song; written, produced, and performed by and with John Denver. "Green Pastures" has been recorded twice by Harris. Eight years later it would appear on her incredible SPYBOY album, I prefer that version. This recording is the classic, from her 1980 masterwork ROSES IN THE SNOW, with Ricky Skaggs. Skaggs was a member of the Hot Band, and he was an important talent in the recording of that album. The emotional centerpiece is the inspirational "Gulf Coast Highway". Willie Nelson is another top duet singer, and this song is one of their best together. Two of their many duets would later appear on Harris compilations: "One Paper Kid" on 1994's SONGS OF THE WEST, and "Angel Eyes" on 2000's SINGIN' WITH EMMYLOU VOL. 1. "If I Needed You" with Don Williams was a highlight on 1981's CIMARRON album. The collection closes with "Evangeline", a stunning song from The Band's THE LAST WALTZ. This version is different from the title track to her eight album of new material. Unfortunately, that marvelous album has never been issued on CD. This collection is superior to SINGIN' WITH EMMYLOU, because this album is made up entirely of duets (meaning I can hear more of Emmylou Harris on this album). I'm hoping Reprise will issue a DUETS II. There's certainly enough material to support a third volume; especially her duet(s) with Linda Ronstadt, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and many more. If you've never heard an Emmylou Harris album this is a great place to start. For long-time fans, this is an incredible listening experience. DUETS is even more proof that Emmylou Harris is one of the most creative and important talents in American music.
