I can't explain it any better than that. I am a hard rock and prog lead guitar player, but she blows me away. And how about Albert Lee on guitar, and DeVito on the steel.

Alot of people just don't like country for some kind of "stigma" reasons.

And when certain music goes "out of style" they no longer listen, as if age and vogue have something to do with the enjoyment of music. They have to move with the times, rather than their own sense of what is good. When I hear comments like "oh that sounds so 'dated' " I know they have no tastes of their own.

william chandler so true she has the voice of an angel maybe she is and lost her wings

[@relars52]

I saw her in a nightclub in California in 1975. Unassigned Seating, I got a table Front Row Center and she sang this song, as well as others. I felt I was in the presence of a Goddess lol. Her voice cracked in all the right places, conveying sweet/sad vulnerability. What an excellent artist. I'll never forget that night.

@@relars52 You're a very fortunate man Richard, they weren't able to perform together very long...a tragic story Gram Parsons... haunted ELH to this day. Certainly far longer than his wife at the time. Thanks for sharing your experience. Thanks to every one! We're joined together in a unique and rather beautiful way, all of us who have been graced by this exceptionally beautiful angel of a woman.

I had the privilege of knowing Emmy Lou in the 70's when she would play regularly in a coffee house in Arlington Virginia. Tremendous talent. Saw her every night for weeks. She greeted me by name. Wonderful person.

[@paulharm3943]

Such a beautiful, haunting, wonderfull voice singing a great song. How can anyone not love her singing?

[@kasseyr1]

Love her with a passion…

[@nualacarey5810]

I love her confidence. She sings to herself

[@jamesrhoades7488]

I believe Willie Nelson once said: “ There are two kinds of people in this world, those who love Emmylou Harris, and those who have not met her yet.”

Hey how are you doing?

[@yoramalon5273]

The best way, the most respectful way, the american way. She introduces each and every one on stage. I am grateful for the english language, respect is an integral part of it.

@EmmylouLouHarris How could I ever stop? I have been listening to you and moved by you since I was a very young man. When you came to Rotterdam with the Hot Band, I saved up for tickets to the best seats. You have been with me throughout my life. So there. Love, lots of it, Jos

I came across het music in 1978, in another part of my life, she wad great then ,well, she still is so great, best wishes to her.

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

thank GOD i was born in 1955 and saw heard and loved all this music and the progression from am to fm music such a great sound - mono to stereo - then i became a roadie and a singer also ! thank you all the players who have moved on blessings to you all !

[@r.blakehole932]

One of the few Country artists I still listen to in old age. Her, and Dolly Parton, and a few others. I largely left Country Music when it got so heavily sexualized in the 70's and 80's.

[@georgmeyer7221]

Oh man, THAT is music. When I hear so called music of today, I can't seriously consider it as music

[@raouldiblasi5970]

This is why I've loved Emmy Lou for half a century.

[@SuperGoodstuff1]

She's so beautiful it's almost hard to look. Like staring into the sun.

[@Doucette767]

Yeah. I was trying to figure out why. What is it? I guess men are not supposed to know. Also, that harmony. What is it? MAGIC! "Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart , How the music can free her, whenever it starts"

[@thomasthelich9953]

it's the "TRUTH" of her person !

[@Legnerps]

More like staring under a clear night sky....but I get your analogy too.

[@birgitalbrecht8228]

Maybe you could also say something about her musical skills.

[@SuperGoodstuff1]

@@birgitalbrecht8228 They aren't mutually exclusive. I've been a fan of hers since I first saw her in the 1970s with Bill Monroe and Willie Nelson. Met her once and she was even more beautiful in person.

Emmy lou, Tammy Wynett and Allison Kraus...the 3 that make singing any note effortless

Such a beautiful voice with seemingly little effort. She always impresses me.

[@mattjames9331]

I just discovered this yesterday. I am not sure how I missed it back in the 70's. I never realized just how beautiful she was back then. I have played this A LOT. Total infatuation right now.

[@mablesyrup1571]

Matt James I know!!! I think that I thought that Loretta Lynn's sister, Crystal Gayle, was more beautiful than Loretta and Emmy Lou were. I was seriously deluded and have learned the error of my ways! Emmy is, and was, an exquisite​ natural beauty, who woke up looking beautiful. Crystal was beautiful, also, but in a more glamorous, made up way.

How true ! God created women for man to enjoy his perfection. Thank you God!.
