Last night I think I overheard Emmylou Harris talking about a guitar pull in New York that she sat in on with Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt, and Guy Clark. There’s always such good country lovin’ on the East, but alas, for us West Coasters we don’t get quite as many sessions like the one [...]
My uncle died. Cancer. I was a pallbearer at his funeral last Friday. It didn't help that my grandfather had a stroke right before the service started. Needless to say, it was a LONG weekend. Now I've never been much of a crier, but at the funeral I was blubbering like a baby. I can't remember the last time I cried like that. My suit now has snot dried to the sleeves and pant legs. Later I was ...

Imagine a lake, calm and flat, shimmering through the changing light of day. There's nothing going on, not much happening. Now, add a few guitars, a mandolin and country legends like Dolly Parton, Vince Gill and the McGarrigle sisters. Surprise, surprise… there's still not much happening, but it's such a nice place to be.If that sounds inviting, you're going to want Emmylou Harris's latest CD.
Since road trips seem to be on my mind today, I'll start with a little US-memoir. A couple of years back I had occasion to go on a grand tour of the southern 'Villes, to wit: start in Gainesville, Florida, drive up to Louisville, Kentucky and finally, crossing the Smokies, end up in another Gainesville - this one in Georgia. This peculiar itinerary was occasioned by a couple of invites (the two...
Recently turned 60, though looking 20 years younger, Emmylou Harris has been in the public eye since her ground-breaking singing on both of Gram Parsons “solo” albums from 1973/74, “GP” and “Grievous Angel”, wherein for many her harmonising was one of the highlight of the already-impressive recordings.Performing in the recently-restored Genesee Theatre in Waukegan, Illinois, she had an
Everybody brings in the New Year in different ways. While I like to stick at home - mostly because of "others" - it always nice to listen to good music. Granted "good" is subjective - as evidence see MOG-o-Sphere - but "Great Performances":http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/shows/phceve/index.html on PBS looks like one to watch - or tape or TiVo...or view with whatever emerging technology that's lik...
