SE 1, EP 36: Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball

Send us Fan MailEmmylou Harris' unmistakable voice has graced many artists' albums, both rock and country albums, usually as a backup singer or harmonizer. But on this, her 18th studio album, she takes a turn few would have imagined. Largely a collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Lanois (U2, Peter Gabriel, Neil Young, Bob Dylan), Wrecking Ball is an album full of electronics and textures that provide Harris with a backdrop where she can really showcase her vocals. And her song choice by both established songwriters (Lucinda Williams, Bob Dylan, Neil Young) and relative new comers (at the time) (Gillian Welch) also show she knows a good song when she hears one.Visit us at www.tappingvinyl.com.
