Free Music Review: "...another long night to be alone.."
Hit: 5 Stars
The longer Emmylou continues,the better she gets.This,in my opinion, is the best album that she has made and the main reason for that is ,since she wrote most of the songs,we hear her talking right from her soul. It takes a couple of listens before the full impact of these songs really hits you.
While I've often said that Emmylou can take any song and make it her own;
it is a sign of a great artist to do this as we have seen with Cash,Ray Charles,Nana Moscouri,Sinatra,just to name a few.
When a great artist is finally able to take off on their own,with their own music and ideas ;then we see the real greatness emerge. The latest work by Johnny Cash hit us like a bolt of thunder and here we see the same with Emmylou.
Someone once asked Picasso how long it took him to do one of his paintings.His answer was "about fourty years." I think the same could be said about the songs on this album. It takes a whole lot of living to reach into one's soul and bring this sort of thing out for all of us to see and feel.
There are all kinds of studio and industry songwriters who can crank out an endless stream of songs for about any topic and for any singer;but they can't do the kind of thing that we see Emmylou doing here. It has to come from the soul and that can't be done by someone else for her.
When we listen to Hank Williams sing "Your Cheating Heart" ,Dolly Parton sing "Coat of Many Colors", Loretta Lynn sing "Coal Miner's Daughter",and Kris Kristofferson sing "Sunday Morning Coming Down";we are hearing songs they wrote themselves and from their heart and soul and above all,personal experience.
Line after line as Emmylou sings these songs, she reaches out and is able to captivate us and get right to our emotions.
When she sings;
"We make our own Heaven,our own Hell,
Trying to get across to theother side"
We are seeing the work of real greatness.
It is hard to single out one song over another;but when she sings "Strong Hand" I can visualize Johnny and June listening to Emmylou and enjoying it to no end.
Yes,Emmylou,we can hear you now. Our only hope is that we will continue to hear you for years to come. Thanks.
Stumble into Grace Poster
Twenty-eight years after her major label debut, Emmylou Harris remains as vital, electric, and bold an artist as the young woman who moved to Nashville in the early `70s. But where she once carried on Gram Parsons' vision of wedding hardcore country to contemporary rhythms, for the past decade Harris has explored an acoustic sonic landscape rooted in folk, yet set apart by driving percussion, world-music elements, and gauzy and ethereal vocals. Stumble Into Grace follows the Grammy-winning Red Dirt Girl with an even bleaker and beautiful collection of songs, almost all of which she wrote or co-wrote. Two songs concern themselves with social commentary, the slant-eyed "Time In Babylon" (co-written with Jill Cuniff of Luscious Jackson), poking a stick in the eye of designer fashions and TV culture, and the affecting "Lost Unto This World" framing scenes of female genocide throughout the ages. Yet much of the program has an Emily Dickinson quality about it, as if told from the point of view of a woman looking back on her past life, realizing it is almost over, and finding herself nearly crazed from lost opportunity, lost loves, and loneliness. Even her elegy to June Carter Cash, "Strong Hand," where Linda Ronstadt guests, centers on the "miracle of how one soul finds another." A poetic spirituality lifts up even the most hopeless lyric, as do the otherworldly background vocals (Julie Miller, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, and Jane Siberry) and producer Malcolm Burn's haunting instrumental touches (a Cuban churanga and a deftly-placed accordion, which offers a sympathetic wheeze). At 57, Harris may be square in the middle stages of chronological life, but as a performer, she is still in the forefront of genre-transcending artistry. --Alanna NashStumble Into Grace, like its predecessor, is a self-composed opus - only the third of her career. It is also produced by Malcolm Burn, and features guitarist Buddy Miller and drummer Brady Blade, core members of her band Spyboy, featured on Red Dirt Girl. Slipcase. Nonesuch. 2003.
