Un tres bon album avec une belle voix.

Boring....

2 - Leider nix für mich

It's fine. 5/10

i've been waiting for this one to come around...had it on fairly heavy rotation back around '03 or so, then hadn't given it much thought. it's just as good now as it was then - like emmylou herself, this album doesn't seem to age. it's not that it ages well, it's that it just doesn't get any older with time. love it.

Most of this was unobjectionable but not particularly captivating. Really disliked that song with Dave Matthews. Not super familiar with her work but I have to believe that in her vast catalogue there are better albums.

3 Stars isn't a bad thing at all- this is a good album, one I would listen to again sometime, but I don't know if it's her absolute best work. That said though, I love her sound. Her voice is so clear and pretty.

Well not bad for what it is. She sounds quite talented. Definitely not a running album though. Hah.

Not really a fan of the inclusion of these types of later career albums by established artists on this list. Much rather hear any of her first 12 albums than her 21st album. Much rather hear more vital music from artists establishing themselves from this time period than a "return to form" from a well established artist. Do you see any Frank Sinatra or Little Richard albums from the 70s taking up space on here? No. Because if you did it would take the place of much more vital/relevant music from that time period and it wouldn't make any sense. So why do you see so many of these albums that are a good decade or two after these artist's prime on this list as we get towards more recent music? I can only imagine it is a reflection of the average age of the people making the list. Baby boomers doing what they do best and taking up all the space and resources they can for themselves and consequently stifling the opportunities for younger generations to thrive (probably without fully realizing they are doing so). Not a critique of the album but the list itself.

I don't know much Emmylou Harris, I know she is considered iconic in folk circles. I like her voice, definitely heard it on other collaborations. A lot of these tracks are just sort of "there" for me though, nothing that really jumps out to me. Very chill, not bad.

I love Emmylou, but this early noughties "country goes modern" shtick is particularly cloying. The whole thing feels just a bit too floaty and forgettable.

I like the voice of Emmylou harris. I think I like country music as well. Clear and nice vocals makes it easy to listen to this album.

It was nice, I enjoyed it kinda, she has a great voice. But pretty much every track becomes indistinguishable from each other and found myself impatient for it to finish in the end

Sorry but pretty painful

Emmylou Harris brauchte also knapp 53 Jahre, um ein Album fertigzustellen, auf dem hauptsächlich Eigenkompositionen vertreten sind, entnehme ich dem Wikipedia-Artikel zu dieser Platte. Man hätte ihr gewünscht, dass dabei mehr herauskommt als diese Aneinanderreihung von ausgewalzten, klischierten Belanglosigkeiten. Stellenweise einfach unerträglich, gerade so 2 Sterne.

not too bad

Not my favorite at all

Pretty voice
