Quote from Willie Nelson. There are two sorts of men in this world. Those who are in love with Emmylou Harris .And those who haven't met her yet . Amen

Is it just me or is EmmyLou the most beautiful woman ever?

🌸💃💜 We are in 2021 and it is always a pleasure to listen to Queen Emmylou Harris 💟. I love.👍

When Emmylou covers a song, she makes it her own. "Pancho and Lefty", "Till I Gain Control Again", "Leaving Louisiana In the Broad Daylight", "2 More Bottles of Wine", "Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down", "The Queen Of the Silver Dollar", "Sweet Dreams", "Together Again", "Mama's Hungry Eyes", "Today I Started Loving You Again", "Every Grain of Sand", I could go on and on. Nobody does any of those songs any better than Emmylou. She didn't write them but she made them her own. Bob Dylan said he thought her version of "Every Grain of Sand" is among the best of any of his songs that somebody else has recorded. When you think almost every country, rock, folk and blues singer and band has recorded at least 1 Bob Dylan song, so, to be considered one of the best versions of one of his songs is quite an honor. Emmylou knows how to get to the heart of a song and make the listener feel what she's singing, that's for sure. She's a real soul singer. I am grateful that I was alive a young adult the same time as Emmylou Harris when she was turning a generation of rock fans on to country music, like nobody else.

The contributions that Emmylou has brought to the wide stage of musical talent l don’t think can be measured she’s beyond all the great compliments we can think of at this point. She’s one genuine soul for sure!!!
