Pieces Of The Sky

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
