Free Music Notes for Trio II (Two)
Free Music Review: Just like original Trio album
Hit: 5 Stars
The original Trio album was a traditional folk-country album and this is similar in style - even the same producer (George Massenburg) is at the helm. It did not have the impact of the original album, nor did it match that album for sales, yet the quality is still there.This set opens with Lovers return, a Carter family song, which sets a brilliant standard for what follows. Among the songs here are covers of Dolly's Do I ever cross your mind, Neil Young's After the gold rush, Del McCoury's I feel the blues movin' in and John Starling's He rode all the way to Texas.
This is a well-balanced collection of songs in which each of the ladies get their turn as lead singer, with the others providing great harmony vocals.
I regard the original Trio album as being one of the finest albums ever, by anybody, in any genre of music. This does not quite match it, but it comes very close.

Don't buy this album if you already have Linda Ronstadt's Feels Like Home CD because 5 of the same songs appear on both records. That's half of the record! I felt gypped when I discovered that after I got it home and listened to it.Free Music Review: Three Veterans Giving it to us
Hit: 4 Stars
As a young listener at the time this CD was released, I liked the CD alot as I came to know every song by heart. This is a pleasing effort from the trio with each lending their own unique qualities and abilities to the group. Linda is the loud belter; Dolly handles the bird-like, songbird songs and Emmylou takes the traditional country songs that require an authentic country voice. The material here is varied ranging from pure country to Adult contemporary, more in Linda's league. HIGH SIERRA shows the AC as Celine could get away with singing this song. There are some very touching songs that mean alot to me and they are toward the end. It is great to see these veteran performers come out and perform great material as such.Free Music Review: A long-awaited sequel doesn't disappoint
Hit: 5 Stars
The follow-up to their 1987 "Trio" album, 1999's "Trio II" by Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt doesn't disappoint. In fact, it builds on the earlier work and expands outwards to music beyond country. Beginning with the Carter family's "Lover's Return," these ladies set the tone with a beautiful rendition of a classic. Sounding as though they're hanging out on the porch on rocking chairs, Harris, Parton and Ronstadt make their extraordinary collaboration sound easy. The harmonies are flawless. There's no grandstanding here--the point is not for any single voice to stand out, but for all three to melt together in an emulsion of vocal purity. They take on Neil Young's grand "After the Gold Rush" and transform it an eerily beautiful anthem of hope and fear. And Ronstadt on the quiet but propulsive "Blue Train" uses the long, lean line of her voice to vocally paint the picture of a train going, going, going. Gorgeous stuff.Free Music Review: Really Beautiful, But Not So Impressive As The First
Hit: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed the 1987 album, Trio. So when I heard of TrioII,I was over the moon. I went and bought the album, and I thought it was really lovely. I can't help preferring the original though.
Emmylou Harris does a brilliant cover of Dolly Parton's "DO I EVER CROSS YOUR MIND". All the tracks are very memorable, and these three artists make the right combination of voices. A joy to listen to. And if you don't already own it, go and buy the first Trio. Both albums are timeless.
