Pieces Of The Sky

Hate country

Shit

Sorry I can't do this. 1 star.

When I started this project, I eliminated the genre Country. Then had it put back in (thank you generator creator) . This was the first country album to come up. My view of country has nit changed. This was irritating and dull. Bottle Let me Down supports Elvis Costello needing to be on this list as his version shitkicks Emmylou's version.

Not appealing at all, first song was kinda meh but everything else was just sterile

No va

country music, yikes

Boulder to Birmingham

Not for me. 1/5

I had to concentrate really hard with this album, because as soon as it started playing, my brain tried desperately to tune it out for me. It's the sort of music I would expect to hear when walking around a supermarket, innocuous, vacuous, sappy, and bland. I figured there might be something special here, to justify its inclusion on the list, but I was soon proven incorrect. It was so vanilla that I didn't even stop it playing when Spotify gave me two bonus tracks. I kind of noticed it was still going, but at this point I had let my brain filter it out, and had stopped caring. One star for something so dull that it hardly even counts as music.

Country music not for me

Not for me

Nope

Month for me.

This album made me feel sad....lots of sad slow longing melancholy and any other words that come to mind for sweet delicate melodic loving poetry set to whimsical blah blah blah blah....

Country chato e cansativo. Forçado, quase dá dor de barriga. Chega de country porra!

Every cliché is this country album. Heard all the songs in Smokey and the bandit, Smokey and the bandit II, Every which way but loose or Any which way you can. Awful

Dear God, no. This is unlistenable

Country

Be gone

Country shite

No no

I don't like this whining, moaning kind of country music.

Her beautiful voice but with for me terrible country and western music with the 'tear in her voice', not my world this US Country music. Fake nostalghia. Laurie Anderson once sung this about Dolly Parton " Iturned on the radio and I heard a song by Dolly Parton. And she was singing: Oh! I feel so sad! I feel so bad! I left my mom and I left my dad. And I just want to go home now. I just want to go back in my Tennessee mountain home now. Well, you know she's not gonna go back home. And I know she's not gonna go back home. And she knows she's never gonna go back there."

Very talented singer, but country's not really my thing.

Pah

Great voice but not enough for me to enjoy listening to this. Why the over-representation of generic country albums? I just don't get it

Ugh. Country! Whining soppy music.

Cant do country

"What kind of music do you have here?" "Oh, we have BOTH kinds of music. Country AND Western." So do we now. YEEHAW! God, I never realised it could be so depressing! There were some bright spots though. Her voice is really good, and I did recognise some of the songs, but by other people. Coat of many colours I'm more used to hearing John Denver sing, and his version is much more up beat. And this may interest Gandalf's Fist. I was racking my mind to think who I'd heard do The Bottle Let Me Down. Then it came to me, but I had to search through my music on my PC to confirm it. It was covered by a band called Throw Rag. But it is their guest vocalist that is the really interesting bit. It was a certain Mr Lemmy Kilmister. Now this has left me with just one question. What the hell does Elvis have to do with Californian cotton fields? Anyway to business. Sorry Emmylou, you do have a great voice, and there were some bright spots in the songs, but I just can't bring myself to give you more than 1.

After the warm up act of Swift yesterday, we have a real cowgirl! I feel like doing lines in the Grand Ole Opry or whatever they do in there.... She's got a nice enough voice, backed up with clichéd Country slide guitar, totally inoffensive, what's not to like? And that is where the problem is, it's just not totally terrible to describe it as complete horse shit, that's the smell I was looking for! But it is backing up my lifestyle choice to avoid country music as much as possible, as it is the antithesis of that other ghastly US led genre Rap which is just offensive. If these Yankees could find a balance and someone write an offensive Country album, I might be happier. Now cringing in my living room to 'Bottle Let Me Down' - did I mention anything about cliche? I did think 'For No One' was really beautifully put together, so not a complete waste of 40 minutes. Im guessing there is a factory in Nashville which must churn out these artists like plastic X Factor people as they all sound the same. A really really high 1.

Not a country fan at all

Eh..it was not good. I suffered through it.

otroligt tråkigt

Not for me

Emmylou Harris, I loved so much for so long, but this album is way too far gone into country music territory for me to tolerate.

“ChatGPT, create me a country album that will sound like every other country album ever.” If you asked it this, it would produce this album. AI will have a field day creating country music as its by far the least creative / innovative of all the genres. Anazingly 51% of Americans listen to country at least once a month. Thats crazy. I reckon if you like country, you’ll love this. But if you are a fan of music you’ll think this is boring.

Classic example of female country singer, typical songs, typical warbly vocals, typical themes. If you like country you'll probably like this, if you don't this isn't going to change your mind. Hard to believe this is a must hear album given its almost certainly not the first to sound like this and doesn't offer anything new.

How are there this many Country albums on the list! This is about as generic country as you're going to get. Same old shite, same 1 star rating as the others.

More country! We don't really do country here in the UK..... This might've been the best country we've had so far, but not really for me and I got tired of it pretty quickly 1.5

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

I just can't.

When she started singing, I thought it was Dolly Parton. That's the best thing you'll hear me ay about this album. I checked out Wikipedia stuff and saw song #10 was written by Shel Silverstein. The kids book author? So bored with this album I didn't even bother to check. Linda Ronstadt as a back up singer was pretty cool, too. Yea, this did nothing for me. Won't re-listen or revisit artist. Now on to the good stuff. Tomorrow is the birthdate of Prince. Wear something purple. Listen to some of his music. A couple of my favorite lyrics from 2 different songs: Because of their half-baked mistakes We get ice cream, no cake, all lies, no truth Is it fair to kill the youth? Party Up Got to Party Up, yeah! As soon as we got there, good times were rolling White, Black, Puerto Rican Everybody just a freakin Good times were rolling

nyt tuli pahaan kohtaan tämmöstä 25 album striiikki on semmosta että 3.36 unprecedented unreal kuukausi takana. järisyttävä joukkio albumejan ei vaan vedä vertoja nyt tämä voi.. järisyttävä joukkio albumejan..emmylou rest in peace ( ei vielä kuollut mutta ei hyvältä näytä...) yritit varmasti parhaasi hyvä että yritit parhaasti peukkua siitä ja tsempit! jumala lyriics ''saving grace'' pisaran silmään sait for no one

The first song made me hopeful that I was finally going to like one of the country albums on here, but it fell off immediately after.

It might be great country music, but I can't listen to it

I really don’t know why these sort of country albums keep appearing on the list, I think there’s a big gap between singer-songwriter and country/singer-songwriter albums and I really did not want to finish this album. This country sound just really isn’t for me and I don’t find this sort of music to be something that’s essential especially for albums that I need to hear.

Way too country for me and I really hate how a lot of these older country albums are just credited to the performer but most of the songs were written by other people. That should auto-disqualify an album from here in my opinion.

This is fairly typical sound of the 70s. She's got a good voice, but it's not for me.

Name one good country album and I'll give you 23 that sound exactly the same. This is one of the 23. Songs about Rodeo and pick-up trucks don't resonate with me; coming from the UK.

Boo country

Sure, I'll admit she has a lovely voice and sure, I'm sure that lots of people love this. But I just can't get away with the overwhelmingly vast majority of country.

howdy, i'm gon mosey on dooown to the ole railroad bridge and throw myself off to save my ears from this darn misery. y'all be good now.

Like eating an ice cream cone full of dog shit. My God, my ears will never recover from this. Suck my hairy cock.

oh god this is torture

Absolutamente cheesy. No lo escucharía nunca por mi propia voluntad.

There's nothing here that I needed to listen to before I died. Some songs veer into gospel. The only redeeming feature is that she sometimes sounds like Queen Dolly.

Oof, awful genre

Deprimente

This is some old school country. It's literally 'hokey'. Old school country has a touch of polka in it.

My streak of not enjoying country continues...

Meh. Country.

Country ist ein überflüssiges, weichgespültes und substanzloses Genre, das auf ausgetretenen Pfaden die immer gleichen, langweiligen Geschichten erzählt. Und dieses Album ist dafür ein kaum erträgliches Musterbeispiel.

She has a beautiful voice but her songs were so sad. I can turn on the news if I want to be 😞.

1.5

Zzzzzzz. 1.

Le monde de la ballade country traditionnelle en est un où la mélodie et l’harmonie sont toujours les mêmes. Ça me rapelle des gigs où le setlist me plaisait à moitié. Ça, ça me fait penser à la moitiée que j’aimais moins. Aussi, ce style musical a évolué depuis et des gars comme Chris Staplelton font des choses qui vont ailleurs et c’est bien. Le violon est insuportable, mais elle chante bien et dans l’ensemble, c’est doux et harmonieux. J’entends qu’elle a influencé d’autre artiste comme Olivia Newton-John, elle chante pareil et je dirais même que « Hopelessly devoted » sonne comme un plagiat. Bref, je n’aime pas ça, mais je peux voir que ça a eu son utilité. Le cover de McCartney fait du bien pour briser la monotonie.

J'ai souvent vu et entendu le nom d'Emmylou Harris, mais je n'avais encore jamais rien entendu de son travail. J'ai vraiment de la difficulté avec le country. Ses pièces plus folks passent mieux. Sa version de For No One est intéressante. Pièces préférées: Before Believing, For No One

Musically upbeat country music, I can only imagine the bar atmosphere, I can’t relate to this to be honest. Mostly cover versions, it’s a nice warm homely atmosphere but her voice grates at times - those louder higher pitch moments. Marked down from a 2 to a 1 as mostly cover versions - controversial I know.

Не мое

Country, eh? Nah, no feelings here.

Nice voice, boring karaoke album. I am getting a wider education of country in this process, and I still think it is rubbish, no matter how hard I try to enjoy it.

More of an album for Ross than Don

Nope

A little to country not enough rock and roll

Couldn't sit through

No thanks.

Nope.

Barf

I'm afraid this is going to be one of my less helpful reviews. To my ears, Pieces of the Sky is homogenized country music. Unlike the Grateful Dead, Commander Cody, or even the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Emmylou Harris has nothing to add to Country music, such as rock or blues--she can only weaken it and dumb it down. If I wanted to listen to pure 70s country, I'd go with someone like Charlie Rich. That said, I have to grudgingly admit that the album is technically well performed from top to bottom. It's just flat and flavorless.

Nee, dat was 't niet echt voor mij.

Bluebird Wine reminds me too much of 5-Piece Chicken Dinner. 2/10, definitely not for me

Not great
