Emmylou Harris - Blue Kentucky Girl


I always admired Emmylou Harris for doing her own thing, country based, but far more creative than that and with a big influence on contemporary American music for over four decades. 

You might say for me she is the real American girl (as an European would look at it).

Blue Kentucky Girl however is the one album that is the most country orientated, made in reaction to the criticism that her albums were not 'country' enough.

Country or not: I Like Emmylou Harris! My choice is 'Hickory Winds' because it a Gram Parsons song to which she owes a lot and worked with for a long time. Version is with the Hot Band (not this album version).
