Just what I was looking for!

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: This CD set is not available in stores anymore and is no longer available to order NEW. It also contains many rare recordings that I've never heard before and some that are old favorites. I love this set and, although, I must admit, I ordered it for one song . . . I have no regrets that I splurged for the collection. It's music!

a selection that spans deep emotions

Review Comments: I finally found a few words that make sense in a song that is called "Falling in a Deep Hole" at the beginning of Disc 3 on the Emmylou Harris box set "Songbird":

Mixed up like a puzzle, you put me together.
Paranoia nightmare, raging in my sleep,
you kiss me on the cheek and wake me.
Want to go to paradise, Baby, you can take me.

Paranoia nightmare is not a phrase that comes to mind when I am listening to great praise, and I never heard it that way. I was not able to find the lyrics in the typical Emmylou Harris webpages, but the song is posted as "Falling Deeper" by Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert. The musical interlude just before the mixed up like a puzzle verse is now some of my favorite combinations of notes, and this version (never before released) is beautifully done.

J'adore Emmy Lou Harris and Bonaparte's Retreat

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: 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"!!!

Classic EmmyLou

Review Comments: Even though many of the songs were on earlier albums it is a wonderful collection. Of course, I am such a fan I would buy a CD of her tap dancing.
