Free Music Review: J'adore Emmy Lou Harris and Bonaparte's Retreat
Hit: 5 Stars

I have been listening to ELH since I was quite young. Her sharp, shrill voice and the beautiful songs that she writes and records make me cringe and cry and smile all at the same time.

"Tulsa Queen" and "Evangeline" are my all time favourites. "Spanish Johnny" which is a duet with Waylon Jennings is wrechingly, heart achingly beautiful. "Lillian" is a soul searching, wonderful ballad that pours out sadness for everyone who has ever lost a loved one in war.

"Jerusalem, Tomorrow" a combination of song and reading is haunting, frightening and mournful. I can only liken it to Matraca Berg's music and style.

Emmy's version of "Icy Blue Heart" tears me up, everytime. But, "Sweet Dreams of You"..is my all time, overall love of my life song that I played over and over after my cat Hobbes died of Leukemia. I still cannot listen to it, without tears coming to my eyes and that awful ache in my chest...... coming......alive.... again.

Ms. Harris, has been making me smile and cry since Gram Parsons and "Jaunita". I sincerely hope that she continues for a long, long time more and best wishes to her and her animal rescue organization "Bonaparte's Retreat"!!!

Songbird: Rare Tracks and Forgotten Gems Poster

Includes Four CD and One Dvd (Pal Format)
Emmylou Harris, godmother of the Americana movement, is a phenomenon for any number of reasons, one of which is that she has has managed to conduct more than four decades of her remarkable career without a single misstep. While Harris has always been committed to honoring the roots of old-school, traditional country, she also expanded the music beyond its conservative lyrics and narrow melodic structures without abandoning its core themes of enduring love, family, and prideful sense of place. Throughout, she interpreted and wrote songs of integrity and emotional depth and resonance, surrounding her keening soprano with a Who's Who of players and collaborators, including Rodney Crowell, the McGarrigle Sisters, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Daniel Lanois, and Mark Knopfler. This unusual 4-CD compilation isn't a greatest-hits package, but rather a gathering of Harris's personal favorites, most of which have never appeared on other collections. Some of the most compelling tracks are special collaborations ("Jordan," with Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash), previously unreleased live, studio, and demo tracks (the folky "Falling in a Deep Hole," circa 1970), and contributions to tribute projects (Townes Van Zandt's chilling "Snake Song"). Harris's reedy voice is one of the most empathetic instruments in all of popular music, and perhaps no other female performer of the genre has been able to capture the desperate, paralyzing sense of longing and loneliness as well as this greatly revered singer. That may be a red flag of warning for the Prozac generation, but this deeply satisfying set stands as a benchmark of 40 years of artistry, as well as an uncommonly soulful illumination of the human condition. --Alanna Nash
