Product 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.
Amazon.com
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

I believe this package represents every type/genre/mood of music that Emmylou has recorded over her long and influential career. Due solely to personal bias, I would like to have seen "Gone Again" included, but given the span of the career and the staggering number of truly memorable recordings, there were bound to be omissions. There are bone-raw folk tunes, a little bit of rockabilly, classic country cuts and the bluegrass selections for which she "risked" her career early on. Then, there are the last three cuts, representing her best "alternative" compositions. Perhaps due to fate and perhaps due to pretty dismal reviews for the album from which it came, "Michelangelo" had escaped me until this CD. It is THE most unique, most haunting song I have ever heard. And, it is simply beautiful. I wore out this track, replaying it a dozen times in a day.
More than one of the tunes carry Emmylou's embracement of spirituality and in ways that bring satisfaction to believers without insulting skeptics. I've got a few CD's in my collection; this is the only one that I literally wore out and had to replace. It is worth ten times its price.
