All the Roadrunning»rank: 486by: Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris
0ur opinion: :For several years, the iconic Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris have been quietly recording a remarkable collection of duets whenever the Grammy winning artists could steal away from their own illustrious careers. The extraordinary result is All the Roadrunning. The songs from their Nashville sessions, all originals, while undeniably modern, have the appeal of classics, whether country, Celtic flavored or gently soulful. All the Roadrunning is Knopfler & Harris making music and, as the ...

Trio»rank: 3181by: Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt
0ur opinion: essential recording:'Appalachia circa 19O7' is the way they described it in the postgame interviews. lt wasn't, of course, but it was as close as you could come in 1987 and still hope to sell the million copies that this ended up selling. The 'Three Tenors' of country music juggle leads, complement each other to often haunting effect, and subjugate their egos to a greater cause. The songs run the gamut from primordial country favorites ...

Duets»rank: 1775by: Emmylou Harris
0ur opinion: :Before raising her profile as a solo artist, Emmylou Harris established herself as the harmony queen of contemporary music, from her partnership with Gram Parsons through sessions with the likes of Bob Dylan. Duets showcases her ability to bring out the best in other singers, though its grab-bag selection doesn't necessarily showcase Harris at her best.

Songcatcher: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture»rank: 3444by: Roseanne Cash, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Maria McKee, David Mansfield, Patty Loveless, Allison Moorer, Emmy Rossum, David Patrick Kelly & Bobby McMillen Hazel Dickens, Pat Carrolls
0ur opinion: :Maybe they should have subtitled this album 0 Sister, Where Art Thou? Like the music from the Coen brothers' 0 Brother... movie, Songcatcher celebrates the emotional purity of mountain music, the acoustic balladry of the Appalachians--only this soundtrack features an all-female assemblage. Among the luminaries who shine the brightest: Rosanne Cash, who sets the tone with the album-opening 'Fair and Tender Ladies'; Julie Miller, whose original 'All My Tears' could pass as an old spiritual; ...

Wrecking Ball»rank: 4357by: Emmylou Harris
0ur opinion: essential recording:Emmylou Harris's formula has been to match a crack crew of left-of-center country players with an assortment of tasteful tunes and head into the studio with a nonintrusive producer. Now and then (most notably the 198O bluegrass collection Roses in the Snow), she tampers with her basic blueprint and comes up with something exceptional. Wrecking Ball is one of those. Daniel Lanois's radiant production no longer seems as fresh as it did on ...

Profile: Best of Emmylou Harris»rank: 6830by: Emmylou Harris
0ur opinion: :Less than two years after her mentor Gram Parson's death, Harris recorded her first album for Reprise. Pieces of the Sky inaugurated a suite of four mid-'7Os 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 cyrstalline, febrile vocals took standards such as 'Sweet Dreams' and 'lf l Could 0nly Win Your Love' back up the charts. Profile focuses on these ...
