Editorial Review: Album Description: Masterful at rock, country, folk, bluegrass, and more, Emmylou Harris is one of the most distinctive and visionary voices in contemporary music. The artist's lucid, achingly gorgeous vocals and a string of celebrated albums-many featuring her acclaimed "Hot Band"-have earned Harris eleven Grammys and made this alt-country/roots-rock innovator a legend in her own time. From Amazon.co.uk: Less than two years after the death of her mentor, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris recorded her first album for Reprise. Pieces of the Sky inaugurated a suite of four mid-'70s albums and a surprising number of hits: her sound was clearly traditional, but also tastefully up-to-date with folk-rock and singer/songwriter styles, and her crystalline, febrile vocals took standards such as "Love Hurts" and "If I Could Only Win Your Love" back up the charts. This compilation brings together her biggest hits, and shows why Harris is important and why she continues to make adventurous country music. Through unfailingly tasteful song selection, brilliant occasional songwriting, and her cool, velvety soprano, Harris extended Gram Parsons's vision of "cosmic American music" and made it her own. --Roy Kasten Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ipod MusicI you have an ipod or any MP3 player, you should have The Very Best of Emmylou Harris! If you haven't heard Emmylou's music, this is a great introduction!

It has many favorite songs that I remember from previous CDs and also some tracks I hadn't heard before. As always, her voice delivers a true clear quality and her cover of "Love Hurts" was a genuine (and great) surprise! I would highly recommend this CD for fans of bluegrass and country rock as there are tracks that will please both audiences. Rating: - country musicOne of my all time favorites. Many great songs - and what a voice ! Not twangy at all. Everyone who hears it loves it. Some great duets, too. Calling My Children Home is a favorite. Rating: - I love Emmylou!I love this CD, too! The variety is great, and the songs are all wonderful! Rating: - Emmylou reunited with producer Brian Ahern on new cutI am a ravenous music collector and I try to keep complete the discographies of the all the artists I love. Retreading Emmylou's history here would be superflous. We all know how golden her entire discography is. We could all argue which songs should be here and which shouldn't (although personally I'm suprised nothing from the sterling BLUEBIRD made the cut...) What i noticed missing from all the prior reviews was a little more detail about the real reason all us Emmylou collectors ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
