Emmylou Harris - How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower

[@Ravenscaller]

There are nearly 8 billion people on the planet and one Emmylou Harris. I'd say that's pretty special.

[@Obironnkenobi]

Emmylou is one of those artists that no matter how much credit she gets it will never be enough.

[@MichaelDrake-b7r]

Emmylou your so sweet honey will you Marry me Emmylou I'll take good care of you my darling

[@rodentraiser3995]

I still remember Emmylou at the Santa Clara County fairgrounds in the 70s. There was hardly anyone in the audience who was listening to her but I was mesmerized. I was too young to even drive, so when my friends came by to get me, they practically had to drag me away by the hair. I think it took me ten minutes walking backwards to leave the stadium. Never have I ever wanted to stay so badly to hear someone sing.

[@yzetta]

She has one of the most beautiful voices on this earth.

[@anonymeanonyma3105]

A big thank you from Paris 🌹❤️

[@r.blakehole932]

I have been a fan of Emmy Lou since I first listened to her in the 1970's. A long time ago. She is the ultimate in musical integrity. She was, in the 1970s an astonishingly beautiful lady. And yet, she never tried to use sex appeal to promote her music. Huge credit to her for this. And she still sells records today. This is a lesson to today's twerk artists---if they will listen. s

[@mossmangene]

was? if you ain't blind take another good look.might just be me but that women is STILL FINE!!!!

[@r.blakehole932]

Well, I cannot argue with you on that subject. Would not even try. She has a timeless beauty. And, I would argue, a significant part of that beauty is the fact that she is, and always has remained a lady. ("Lady" used in the old fashioned sense when the word actually meant something.)

[@atlefler1]

Agreed!!! That is one beautiful lady!! In my opinion, still has the same folksy, but elegant voice she had back in the 70's. Which has also graduated to that sweet red wine, aged to perfection...

[@cjcarp9438]

A Class Act in everyway. Not only a tremendously talented Singer/Song Writer but a Great Humanitarian . She even has a " Dog Rescue " in Her Backyard . Probably more Beautiful inside then out or at least = .

[@denisesowin374]

great. music

[@acphillipsmusic]

THIS is what Country music is missing. She's the Queen of Country. Still great. Nobody quite like her.

[@avian8338]

Not even Dolly? I'd say more than queen, Emmylou is the Outlaw of country.

[@patculpepper9662]

Amen

[@johnmcng]

Emmylou Harris has a throat of gold. She had it back in the 1970's and she has it still today. I could sit back and listen to her sing all day and all night. Thanks you so much Emmylou.

Pourquoi ce regard si triste

So BEAUTIFUL Emmy , God Bless this coming winter season , thanksgiving etc.. love from a 72 year old...Diane Littlehampton South East England xx

[@paulboyd4410]

I loved the artist in her before I was born. Oh, her soothing voice always brings me back to my favorite quiet place, my heart! You don't have to move to travel, one only needs to listen to her sing. She will take you places never seen before and bring you back only to leave again with every next song.

[@larrystromberg2840]

I have loved her voice for over forty years....she still has it...

[@pizzaman989a]

One of the finest Ambassadors of country music - or simply music. Ms. Harris sings everything, with everybody, and we are all better for her efforts! A genuine treasure, and she just gets better and better!

[@tangogirl100]

Beautiful song & sung by the most talented woman in the music world. I never miss her concerts when she comes to SLC, Utah - she is one of a kind.

[@dirtracker47]

EmmyLou is a very lovely woman, there has been no corruption by the magazines of this lovely person, I Love Her...

[@TheBdylan23]

Brilliant!! Every time I listen to her I think of Willie Nelson's immortal words " There are two types of men in the world, those that love Emmylou, and those who have never met her"

[@lkw9876]

They do not make them any better than Emmylou Harris. Her songs and voice know how to reach into the deep recesses of our hearts and touch places that no other can touch.

[@shmorpie]

What a graceful, beautiful and wonderful woman!

[@keithborrill7160]

I am addicted to this beautiful lady with this beautiful voice and fantastic song

[@kennydixon1817]

The sweetest female voice in country music

[@CooManTunes]

Quite possibly in music all together.

[@rabbi120348]

CooManTunes Best Female Vocalist in the Universe as far as I'm concerned. Her voice is as sweet today as it was 40 years ago.

[@okac98]

Bob Rabinoff you are right

[@rivers4100]

This is what perfection sounds like.

[@afonso-vr9gw]

Wonderful music and Emmylou simply fantastic. The only problem I have is when I hear Emmylou my heart almost stops beating.

[@BaronVK1]

There truly is only one Emmylou. I never tire of hearing her voice. Thanks for posting such a beautiful song.

[@Illinois-Wildlife-Encounters]

THE voice.....LOVE Emmylou Harris...

[@ogtbeach]

Happy B-Day, Emmylou! You are simply put...a treasure!

[@HickoryWilson]

+Dan Yes, she is an American treasure, for sure.

[@kevinmorin7965]

Words just can't convey what Emmylou's voice brings to our cultural celebration of joy from the Heavens sent.

[@gregoryford9374]

I cry listening and watching Emmylou she is so special, so touching. I could go on and on

[@edweirdk]

You couldn't ask for a better side musician than Buddy Miller. Emmylou's music is timeless.

[@jackwalker1822]

Such a wonderful performance. Once I learned it was about Sara and A.P. Carter, now it makes me tear up to listen to it. Also it is co-written by Emmylou.

[@TheMilady10]

This song sounds like music from Heaven... Emmylou sings like angels surely do... No matter how grey her hair might turn, her voice gets better and better.

[@Christynmaine]

Never tire of hearing her incredible voice. Beautiful inside and out.

[@philsiziya7411]

do we still have people who can sing like this? this beautiful!

[@raysnmysoul]

Thank you! Beautiful ....

[@kerryg100]

+J. Mark Lane amen

[@classof80extant]

What an incredible performance. The layers crafted into the song; of course, the voice, always the voice, more beautiful still.

[@curbshoppin]

When I think of the entertainers that are keeping real country music alive it is Emmy Lou then Marty stuart and a host of others ........you will not find there music on the radio but you can find it on youtube if you look!! and you can buy there cd's if you look hard enough...... it can not get anybetter than this

[@kenparsons7358]

The first time I heard Emmylou was in 1975 on Bob Dylan’s Desire album. I was a kid, not really into any specific type of music... but one evening my mother had that album on and I heard the song “Oh Sister”... 43 years later and Emmylou embodies all that is beautiful, wonderful, talented and graceful in this world. She just keeps getting better and more soulful. Her work with animal rescue just adds the icing to the cake. Emmylou, may you and your music live forever...

[@gabrielfariasjr6097]

Simply put Emmylou Harris the best.... can make a heart stop beating with that beautiful voice.

[@afonso70110]

Emmylou is really a queen. Always wonderful, conveys an immense peace. And that ability, my God. Dominates the stage and dominates our hearts.

65 users unfortunately do not have a musical ear, to appreciate this wonderful voice. It's a pity to see these days, young people who listen to anything in music, like the Rap for example and who know absolutely nothing in music !!!!

[@t4texastomjohnnycat978]

ALIFIHAFID You are absolutely right. Our beautiful, traditional music is dying a slow death, just like America is.

Two guitars and the golden velvet voice of Emmy produces one the best songs one can hear. This is a stunning showcase of pure musical brilliance. Just sensational.

[@royzee28]

Melts my heart!

[@Cfreddy17]

This is my favourite song. I never get tired of her voice. I listen to her for hours.

[@tunefultony]

The voice of an angel.......absolutely breathtaking.

[@eugenerichard192]

shes an angel

[@dannyneilmadsen]

Emmylou seems to sing better and look more beautiful the older she gets. I have been listening to her most of my adult life. This song is a great tribute to the seminal country singer Sara Carter.

[@cwg47]

She has the voice of a angel.

[@ronkarmelk3645]

Together with Buddy Miller also such a humble but magnificent musician.

[@mattm597]

Just saw Emmylou the other night in Atlanta. Scratch another one off the ol' bucket list.

[@rockhard2654]

this song is about a.p. and sara carter, the love story (the sad one, of course) that resulted in nothing less then the entirety of country music

[@valeriegriner5644]

I was thinking this, but thanks for your comment that confirms it!

[@vikking9154]

A.P. who was that?

[@Ravenscaller]

@@vikking9154 He was AP Carter of the Carter Family. AP was obsessed with collecting songs from the hills and hollers and you could say he didn't take care of homework. Sara Carter was his wife. The song says the rest. The Wildwood Flower was the first song my Mother taught me to play on the guitar. She was from town and also ended up in one of those long lonely hollars and hated every minute of it. However she never left my father and she didn't found a significant branch of country music but she did meet the Carters once. Unfortunately I never met Emmylou Harris not even once.

[@vikking9154]

@@Ravenscaller thank you

[@colinhaines6652]

Ray Holden you say your mother met the Carters, May I ask which ones she met?

[@susanwatts3015]

Beautiful voice and lovely song! So special Emmylou!

Well, there is Joan Baez, and there is Emmylou... Yes, different, I agree, but they both have that special in their voices. Love'em both! Thanks for sharing, mate!

I've been to heaven and I've heard the angels sing: Emmylou Harris and the harmony of Vince Gill and Patty Loveless; there are no sweeter sounds on earth or in heaven, there just isn't.

[@olddognewtricksmorrisinmin9100]

The voice of a angel she has so much feeling and passion in her singing

[@Ken-mu3dc]

She has a purity in her voice that I don't think any other singer has.

[@rabbi120348]

I saw her a few weeks ago (8/2021) and she's still magnificent!

Couldnt agree more . Loved Emmylou's voice for the last 35 yrs . From Ireland

A lovely song, and sung so well by a the truest of stars. Thank you Emmylou - from NZ CountryMusic

[@jaqmart]

Emmylou Harris was sent on earth to sing the saddest songs - 2.19 to 2.30 is pure anguish.

[@srhcb1]

The older Emmylou gets, the better she does this song.

Saw her live around 1990. Absolutely mesmerizing, wonderful, angelic voice. I will never forget it.

[@EricLaughingWillow]

Emmylou is better than ever. Like a delicious aged wine. Can't wait for that special moment when I see (and hear) her again in October TWICE!

[@davidparnell1893]

"From the tall pines of Carolina"...Emmylou never abandons Gram Parsons while the Country Music Association does. This line is a memory fragment of Gram's "Hickory Wind" and Emmylou's career was founded on the rich memories of her association with Gram Parsons. Here in this song Emmylou is praising the spirit and style of Mother Maybelle Carter and the country roots song, "How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower." Some of us might never have made it if not for the enchanting voice and songs of Emmylou and her loyalty to Country Music...and the path created by her lost friend, Gram Parsons. I love the album, "All I Intended to Be" as its songs remind us of the spanse of time we all call "life." Ironically, Mother Maybell's loyalty to Chet Atkins saved his career in county music...yet, Chet later was in opposition to the career and music of Gram Parsons. Sad but true!!

সে ছিল তার চাঁদ এবং সকালের তারা....⭐⭐⭐🌙🌙🌙 Lyrics: How she could sing the Wildwood Flower The orphan girl he would love so long In the end, he knew she'd been his finest hour And all he has left of her is a song He first saw her Standing by a cabin door Her song was ringing Out in a voice so strong and sure To the lonesome valley He brings her there to be his bride Where they would live and work together Side by side She was his sunshine (তিনি তার সূর্যালোক ছিল) She was his moon and morning star(👉⭐⭐⭐🌙🌙🌙) His words would ring to The chords of her guitar He was driven And lost to her for days and days 'Til the lonesome valley Finally drove her far away We all cling to As the years keep rolling on One single promise Of a love that's past and gone And that lonesome valley We all walk it by ourselves With the wildwood flower Is a story we will tell How she could sing the Wildwood Flower And all we have left of her is a song

[@carolatlga1407]

Emmylou also wrote this tribute to AP and Sara. Wildwood Flower with Emmylou and Iris Dement is divine.

[@t4texastomjohnnycat978]

8remy5 I agreed. I think after Sara left A.P., he lived the rest of his days with a broken heart. Sara was very pretty when she was young, & A.P. was a fairly handsome man. But it seems like she was never happy in their marriage.
