Emmylou Harris - "Blue Ridge Mountain Boy"

Album: " Dolly Parton - My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy"
Utgitt: 1969
Låtskriver: Dolly Parton
Dolly! was an American variety show starring Dolly Parton that aired in first-run syndication during the 1976-77 season.
In the mid-1970s, Parton was approached by Bill Graham, president of Show Biz, Inc., the same company that produced The Porter Wagoner Show (on which Parton had costarred for seven years), and soon afterward the syndicated variety show Dolly was born.
The show boasted a budget of $85,000 per episode, an impressive sum at the time for a syndicated series. (It was, in fact the most expensive show to be produced out of Nashville to that point.) A variety of Nashville and Hollywood stars were scheduled to appear, including Karen Black, Tom T. Hall, Emmylou Harris, The Hues Corporation, Captain Kangaroo, Lynn Anderson, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr., Ronnie Milsap, Anne Murray, Kenny Rogers, Linda Ronstadt, KC & The Sunshine Band, and Anson Williams. According to her 1978 biography, Dolly by Alanna Nash, Parton spoke to Bob Dylan and he initially agreed to do the show, but eventually bowed out due to his discomfort with the television medium at the time.

Lyrics: (Dolly Parton) From a shack by a mountain stream To a room in New Orleans So far from my Blue Ridge Mountain home The men I meet ain't warm and friendly Like the one in old Virginie Oh they ain't real like my Blue Ridge Mountain boy I was just a little past eighteen When I came to New Orleans I'd never been beyond my home state line There was a boy who loved me dearly But I broke his heart severely When I left my Blue Ridge Mountain boy Life was dull in my hometown Lights were out when the sun went down And I thought that city life was more my style But nights get lonely away from home And it's easy to go wrong The men ain't kind like my Blue Ridge Mountain boy New Orleans held things in store Things I'd never bargained for And every night a different man knocks on my door But late at night when all is still I can hear a whippoorwill As I cry for my Blue Ridge Mountain boy Oh but I can never go back home Since the boy I love is gone He grew tired of waiting for me to return They say he married last October But I never will get over Oh the sweet love of my Blue Ridge Mountain boy Blue Ridge Mountain boy

Such a beautiful song. Thanks for the lyrics !

I'm surprised that the government doesn't make her wear a hat that says "Caution, may be habit forming". Nearly 50 years of listening to this golden voice, and I never get tired of hearing her.

[@tomtorrell8019]

I'm glad Emmylou took up music instead of Drama. I'm afraid there will never be another EmmyLou when God some day takes her from this world. But her voice will always be there for world to listen to. I hope she will one day sing for me in heavan. God bless Emmylou.

[@rrreverb]

EMMYLOU is always a revelation

[@FiveContinental]

Not even lipstick ! Beautiful !

[@bendummitt888]

This is what Country Music should be...

[@hartmannmark]

God, the singing. This singing that always make me cry like a baby. And the rhythm changes, Hank's crying pedal steel guitar and how it interacts with the guitar licks. The smooth but driving groove of bass and drums. It simply cannot be any better than that. God bless Dolly for writing and owning this beatiful and sad song. But Emmylou with her effortless grace and with the musical power of the Hot Band elevated it upon higher grounds. One of my favorite 10 country tunes.

[@CharlesB4]

One of the most beautiful people to ever grace this planet with her raw talent a true gift from GOD

[@jazminnelson8507]

Yes and she does a lot of good work for homeless cats and dogs and now through a former priest in the Memphis area helping homeless people .

[@youngc570]

Emmylou is a gandharva, a celestial musical being sent to guide us mere mortals.

[@charliekavanagh1217]

The greatest singer ever to grace a stage

[@sgtpep5]

I saw Emmylou at Wolf Trap in Vienna Virginia right after her album "Blue Kentucky Girl" was released..Leo Kottke opened the show and is an excellent guitar player.... Then Emmylou walked out on stage and you talk about a beautiful woman with the voice of an angel. Good thing I was sitting down when she started singing Beneath Still Waters because my knees would have buckled. Emmylou Harris is still a beautiful lady with the voice of an angel... How can you not love this woman?

[@mbrawthen]

That was just so Angelic! You know what Heaven on Earth is? Listening to Emmylou Harris and the Hot Band! When I make it to the real Heaven, I know they will be performing there.!!! 😘🙏🏽✝️❤️

[@oliverbohlender8746]

Gänsehaut ❤

[@raedwulf61]

No lip syncing, no auto-tune. True talent. True greatness.

[@WildPhotoShooter]

.....all you said and a natural beauty too.

[@jpalberthoward9]

@@WildPhotoShooter Isn't it great that there are still people who can deliver the goods without a lot of gimmicks and have an awesome look without being plastic phonies? Every time I think I'm running out of good things to say about Emmylou, a comment like yours jogs my brain and I think of something else. I almost kinda sorta hope she outlives me.

[@robertfanfalone3099]

I'll. Always Be sweet Emmy YOUR Blue Ridge Mountain Boy you are the alloy that keeps my heart right on track till somehow We could be together again and soon and forever

[@smacdiesel]

This woman is true talent, a very unique and special person.

[@MrJuan541]

This might possibly be my favorite Dolly Parton song. Dolly Parton didn’t just write music and songs she wrote philosophy. This song is truly incredible. The more you listen to it the more you will appreciate it. The lyrics, the chord and key changes in the music, and the voice of this young Emmylou. Dolly knew how to write them! The Dolly Parton version is excellent of course, also. I love the 1970 version with Dolly Parton on Hee Haw! Of course their voices are a little different and the interpretation differ slightly, but it is such a work of art when either of them sing it.

[@stancarpenter7358]

Emmylou Harris is one of a kind and she can make anybody's song golden with that nightengale voice of hers, plus she is a very accomplished acoustic guitarist, with heart. 7/7/2020 SRC

[@tomtorrell8019]

I cant get over the vibrato in her voice. How the heck does she do it. Just wow. God threw away the mould of her voice box. Fantastic.

[@tomtorrell8019]

I didn't anyone could could outsing Dolly Parton on on this song. Now Emmylou goes and makes me eat my words. Damn if this isn't just as good.

[@RolandReichmann]

Now are 50 years gone and the song and Emilou are still one of the very best

[@rexfrommn3316]

Emmy Lou Harris has been a favorite of mine since I was in seventh grade in 1975. I have listened to her for my whole adult life. I have never waivered in my apprecation of this woman's talented voice and musicianship. When it comes time for her to leave the stage as she ages, I am afraid she will be a hard act to replace.

[@davelamb2094]

where have i been i stumbled across emmylou whilst searching mark knopfler and listened and listened some more an now i am hooked on her voice as linda ronstadt said she sings like she is facing the guillotine if she gets it wrong amazing voice an looks of an angel

[@ashleyjarrell48]

Good God. This is the voice of an angel!

[@jpalberthoward9]

The new age folks often speak of ascended masters, and beings from other dimensions who drop in once in awhile to help us out, and sometimes give us a kick in the seat of the pants. At times I have entertained the idea that perhaps Emmylou is a visitor from Alpha Centauri, or perhaps somewhere in the Andromeda galaxy, sent here to give the music a little nudge in the right direction and show everyone how it's done. Then the mushrooms wear off and I realize that Emmylou Harris is just an exceptionally talented and hard working lady with lots of class who cares deeply about the music and loves to perform and record. We are all extremely fortunate to have her on the earth.

[@gerardsauvage7557]

This is just overwhelmingly beautiful. First saw EH in 1981. Never could forget her.

[@olethienhaus3890]

What could be better? This is truly as good as it gets.

[@i-35vagabond56]

That video looks like it's from Dolly's old television program in the mid 1970's. It looks like the same show where Dolly, Emmylou, and Linda Ronstadt sang "Applejack" and "The Sweetest Gift", which was on Linda's "Prisoner in Disguise" album and that's when I first got turned on to Emmylou Harris. That same album had Linda's version of Dolly's "I Will Always Love You", which is my favorite version of that song. It's a good album. One of Linda Ronstadt's best albums.

[@halbie71]

GREAT song!!! I wish she would have recorded it on an album.

EXCELLENT!!!

Wellsir.............all I can say is: I've suspected for some time that Time doesn't exist. I know that Einstein disagrees, but I bet he can't name 3 songs half as good as this one. Emmylous is Emmylou no matter what color her hair is now. In the Great Eternal, this is how she'll look and sound.

[@jamesdinkins9391]

Dayum, sing it Emmylou!

[@peterwilliamson8721]

Sans makeup no fancy clothes, just pure raw beauty and talent.

[@hartmannmark]

Also, I was was wondering why there is this bump in the time line at 54 seconds. And unrelated to that while repeatedly listening to the song, I found myself waiting for this steel guitar transition that covers the end of one line to the beginning of the next line. Just to find, that there is other people out here who appreciate and heavily repeat a 3 second short part of the song. I also love how the quiter parts of the song only have the steel guitar as a lead instrument, while the more upbeat ones only have the guitar with shot licks or subtle riffs. And then some part have both of them and they beatifully intertwine when the camera briefly shows the two musicians.

[@andyhayes5226]

Emmylou is always so great:) Thank's for sharing this one! Takker for denne:) Stephan

[@tmac8892]

If u look close, in the lights, u can see the slow changing color of her hair. Three or four strands, showing thru. And what's that u say Emmy Lou? It's all an illusion. A confounding fusion. And even at the apogee of real sweet youth. There stands the Emmy Lou of now, and her mountains of white hair.

[@dhhifl]

Went prematurely gray, same as her mother. Didn't Let it bother her and became a gray haired goddess !!! With a voice of an angel!!!

[@zoeferreiramaciel2714]

[@rabbi120348]

Dolly's album may have been released in 1969, but this video is mid-70's for sure, certainly after Gram Parsons' death.

The correct title is "Blue Ridge Mountain Boy", written by Dolly Parton. In fact, it looks like this Emmy appearance is from Dolly's mid-70's variety show.

[@GuriMalla2010]

Thank you for correcting. I'm going to fix the right title :)

[@hotajax]

Who cares? It's Emmylou and it's great. That's all you need to know

That was a well-loved Dolly show. Dolly, Emmylou and Linda Ronstadt sang duets and trios. Emmylou played guitar and Dolly played banjo. Linda forgot her bra :-) Memorable.
