Emmy
Lou Harris Anthology
by Gypsy Bruce-Griffin
A trip down memory lane it’s an old saying but the songs and
the voice of
Emmy Lou Harris are as fresh as the day we first heard them.
Sweet songs and sad, rocky numbers; some are live and you can
hear the
appreciation of those lucky enough to be there.There’s a freshness
and
vivacity to Emmy Lou’s voice that transforms earlier recordings,
some of
which I had only heard on vinyl, to an up to the minute version.
Such a
variety on this double CD, 44 tracks in all, pictures on the
cover of the
girl we remember, now a seasoned performer.
Her concert in NZ two years ago proved she could still rock
it with the
best.Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt feature with her on To
Know Him Is To
Love Him and Roy Orbison on That Loving You Feelin’ Again.This
music takes
you back to a time when love and hope filled our lives, when
the world
wasn’t in the control of madness life, filled with stories
and melody
