Country, Indie Music, and Rock album by Emmylou Harris

I love the voice of Emmy Lou Harris

This is an excellent new album by EmmyLou Harris. My favorite track is "Kern River". This is a beautiful but sad song about the loss of a close friend in Kern River which is located in Bakersfield California. I also like the duet "Gold" with Dolly Parton. Those two voices sound so good together. "Old Five and Dimers Like Me" is another good duet. It features veteran country singer John Starling. This song is about standing by a loved one. The banjo playing by Kate McGarrigle is lovely here. "Hold On" is about the ups and downs in the course of a person's life. Vince Gill lends his talents singing back up vocals on this track. Emmylou's voice sounds so serene on the "Shores of White Sand". This is another one of my favorite tracks on this disc. "Sailing Around The Room" is a pretty song about the cycle of life and death. The acoustic guitar playing sounds so good on this track.
