Emmylou has the voice of an angel - I have always loved her singing.I saw her in concert once back in the late 70's with Willie and Jerry Jeff at a very small venue. She was fantastic and was sooo pissed that Jerry Jeff was drunk and Willie was stoned... she could have done that concert herself she was so incredible!

There was no pure Country female singer who could hold a candle to Emmylou Harris during her heyday (1970s), but she was very often overlooked at award time.
I had only one chance to see her and that was about ten years ago. By that time she had turned into an animal rights/anti-hunting spokesperson. I saved my money and imagined her as she was when I was young and she was not so off her rocker.
