OVERALL ALBUM RATING: 10

COMMENT: I hadn't heard this one in awhile and was blown away by its beauty. Emmylou's voice has always been a wonder to me but as time has gone on, I've come to a conclusion that her aging voice has got even better with the slight imperfections.....believing that, if anything, her voice was TOO pure sometimes to convey angst. I was wrong. I guess I've always struggled trying to figure out why I almost always enjoyed Emmylou's voice but often had problems with Joan Baez. While there is a LOT of differences between their voices, stylistically, they both have a "purity" to them. I think a lot of it might be intonation. Whatever it is, this album was a beauty and still is.
