I think one of Emmylou’s best. The way she can make a song her own is breathtaking. Her version of Jude Johnstone’s song “Hold On,” is hauntingly delivered in her passionate, beautiful voice. I agree with the reviewer that Jude Johnstone is a special songwriter and wish we could hear more from her.

Well, I bought the album this morning. I agree that it was a worthwhile purchase and definitely don’t regret it! My only complaint, albeit a small one, is that it’s very mellow, no uptempo songs. As Kevin said in his “Favorite Songs” article, she’s not known for her rompers. I like it when she does them though. Like CF, my favorite one as of now is “Gold.”

I really like Emmylou and was excited that she had new music out. The only track that really stood out to me was “Gold” because of how classic it sounded (I can hear Dolly on there with her too).

If you just want to start with a couple of songs, my current two favorites are: “All That You Have Is Your Soul” and “Broken Man’s Lament.”

I think this is her best work in a while, I wasn’t a fan of her last couple of albums so I think this is a return to form for Emmylou.

Well, there are a couple of albums of hers that I don’t really care for…(too much eighties influence or something?). But I have not regretted most of my Emmylou album purchases.

It’s really, really hard to go wrong with Emmylou. She has to have one of the lowest buyer’s remorse rates in music history, at least among people who already own at least one of her albums.

I’m glad you reviewed this. I couldn’t tell, from the amazon clips, if I would like it. I think I should just take a leap of faith and buy it though. I’d hate for my Emmylou collection to be incomplete.
