Emmylou Harris

Wrecking Ball

The amazing versatility of Emmy Lou

Review Score: StarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStar (8/10)
From the first notes of "Where Will I Be," you realize this is not the Emmy Lou you might be used to. She's breaking down the boundaries here with such songs as Steve Earl's "Goodbye", Neil Young's "Wrecking Ball", Bob Dylan's "Every Grain of Sand, Lucinda Williams' "Sweet Old World", and Jimi Hendrix' "May This Be Love". The material is certainly different, but it is still our Emmy Lou. The difference between her ad many contemporary "divas" is that Emmy Lou sings the songs. She doesn't yell them. She let's us hear the melody without assaulting our eardrums. And so indeed there remains that beauty and integrity she is known for still shining through.

Many of you won't like the modern sound here, but others will be amazed at her handling of this material. This CD and Red Dirt Girl both are new territory for her, but Wrecking Ball is a much brighter and happier record.
