Emmylou Harris - Snowin' on Raton (2007)

[@munkiman]

I was at this Emmylou Harris performance, which took place on September 9, 2007, at (the now closed) restaurant/venue called The Derby on Hillhurst Ave in Los Feliz, in the L.A. area; this was for a taping of a BBC4 special to-be-called "The Ten Commandments Of Country." Pretty special night to be in that crowd with many friends from work.

What a wonderful version of this beloved song. Her voice is angel-like. ❤

[@occasionsphoto]

an amazing arrangement of a quintessential Townes tune and a heck of an opener

[@cityzen2717]

Emmy was lovely as a young woman; she is lovelier as a mature woman. Bless her.

[@shimmy1952]

Emmylou is the greatest. I hope someday I can see her perform live.

[@RossM3838]

emmy lou harris was born to sing songs by Townes van zandt. She really captures the saddness and longing in them.

[@UncleVRoy]

Townes is the Moses of Country Music!!

[@ronalddunne3413]

Been on Raton in all kinds of weather, day and night! Wind rain snow sunshine and full moon nights... Emmylou- a woman to die for, and thankfully, she's by far not the only one!

[@leehjones]

Just found this, and Lord, so good to see Mike Auldridge and Tom Gray playing with Emmy Lou. I miss Mike's dobro daily.

My hometown, Beautiful Raton NM

[@dsimms561]

I've driven Raton in the snow a lot, coming home from Amarillo to visit mom at Christmas in Pueblo.

[@cityzen2717]

Been through lots of times in all kinds of weather.

[@background4242]

as Mark Knopfler said, "When Emmylou Harris sings a song, it stays sung."

[@johnmilenski2582]

Good not be said better, perfect

[@VideoDreamLightShow]

I see angels every time I hear her voice

[@christopherboydell353]

Thankyou.. beautiful.

[@cheesenoodles8316]

First time I heard this song....she graced my time.

[@deborahkauffman09]

I just can't believe someone doesn't like Emmilou's voice, she is an angel, favorite with Joni Mitchell, girl singers are hard for me to like, but Emmi cuts it.. she's a songbird

[@climbnride58]

She has the sweetest voice in all of music

[@Blacklamass]

God what I would give to be there! thanks.

[@Yesica1993]

So beautiful, thank you! I'd never heard this song until today!

[@Plutootjes]

Beautiful!

[@jacquesmees]

Thanks for sharing

[@Ixteder]

Simply great!

[@SteelguitarLane]

Keith Little was substituting for Jimmy Gaudreau, who couldn't make the trip RIP Mike Auldridge (last December)

[@judyduncan2597]

Yes,for ever.

[@Sparrowhawk155]

When songs are sung better, Emmy Lou will sing them

[@catfish1260]

For all you fans who insist on calling her Emmy and Emmy Lou. Her name is Emmylou. One word. Her middle name isn't Lou. A pet peeve of mine...lol.

[@rrreverb]

Emmy is a nickname

[@mattthompson9826]

Gram put the sadness in her voice so that she could sing the high lonesome like no other.

[@Ziddji21]

Great. Tks for answering. I guess you are right.

[@brhsbass1]

Loving the guy performing in sweatpants and sneakers

[@haskell71]

What parkejo said!!! Solid truth.

[@sszorin]

It is EmmyLou.

[@g.stephens263]

The only thing wrong with this cover is that it ends too soon!

[@paschal421]

her nane,to clear this up,is miss emmylou

[@gwag8410]

Townes could write a song…

[@pktdbgnzwl]

🥺🥰

[@Ziddji21]

I might make a mistake by I think Blaze Foley was the one that wrote this one. Townes is one of my heroes, and he has recorded it, but ...

[@gscottmorgan9291]

Google says TVZ write it

[@gscottmorgan9291]

Wrote

[@pktdbgnzwl]

Love Blaze but TVZ wrote this.

[@MrLuciano54]

Townes wrote it you can find him singing it with Blaze on YT most beautiful version ever to me.

[@KittyCarlile-490]

​@@gscottmorgan9291I think Townes lived in Raton Co for awhile

[@jarheadrn1]

goto Raton take a right going west and you hit Cimmeron up to Eagles Nest take a left and go to Angelfire,NM

[@rlegear19]

Nobody can hear you when you are shouting. Sorry, but using all caps is my pet peeve.

[@Yesica1993]

Such vulgarity and hatred. Do you listen to any actual country music (as opposed to what passes for country music today), where many of the themes are spiritual, specifically Christian? That is its origin - the churches and Christian spiritual tradition of the time. So instead of such vulgarity, why not educate yourself on the history, as well as on how to properly write and punctuate sentences? (But I'm sure all I'll get in return is more filthy talk and hatred.)

[@richmussel3362]

These people are not aware of Raton, lot's of beers following
