TRIO AFTER THE GOLD RUSH -DOLLY PARTON,EMMYLOU HARRIS,LINDA RONSTADT REACTION - First time hearing

[@GaryTaylor-vy1lh]

These three ladies should be the poster child for harmoy.

[@justabaker5609]

You want diamonds in your ears.... Emmylou singing "To Daddy "

[@jessicajackson8064]

Dolly said they had to convince Linda Ronstadt to do a lead because she loves to do harmonies so much. She sings lead in "Hobo's Meditation" on the album.

[@mikebarnett9012]

Definitely 3 tremendous singers, Emmylou is the greatest harmony singer ever in my opinion. She was discovered by Gram Parsons and I recommend you react to Grams' ---- Return of the Grievous Angel.

[@anthonybalistreri5226]

Emmylou and Gram were so awesome together

[@waltw4537]

Well, at least SOMEONE is reacting to Trio! Thanks!

[@sopsych18]

Great singers and a great song by Neil Young!

[@danwebb1756]

The whole album they made together in ‘87 is legendary stuff

[@pockynon]

Emily Lou Harris is highly respected in the music world.

[@michaelnelson1128]

GRAMMY WINNING PERFORMANCE

[@texasron9131]

I adored those Trio harmonies! Bought the albums!

[@63rambler66]

Linda did background vocals on Neil Young’s Heart of Gold 50 years ago :-)

[@johnj2763]

Great ladies. Beautiful song.

[@sonjajelinski921]

3 vocal lengends

[@dagmar.6954]

The first Trio album from 1987 is also great & showcases the lovely voices of these talented ladies. Lots of great songs such as "To Know Him Is To Love Him", "Telling Me Lies", "Those Memories Of You", "Wildflowers" etc. This song "After The Goldrush" is on the 1999 album Trio II. It also has other hit songs such as "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind", "Feels Like Home" etc.

[@bethcrumpton476]

"Telling Me Lies" is particularly beautiful, Linda sings lead.

[@shirleycarr5387]

Beautiful.

[@craigmccausland1183]

Great group of singers! You should also listen to more Emmylou, the voice of an angel! You might like her earliest work with Gram Parsons.

[@susanalexander6721]

We miss you Linda. Hope all is well.

[@lordfancourt2879]

"Diamonds in my ears." Perfect.

[@ChuckHackney]

Just beyond magical. Three of the greatest female singers of all time together singing one of Neil Young's greatest songs and it is pure fire!

[@damonhines8187]

Gorgeous!! D

[@danmurray8820]

If Johnny Case is the voice of God, and he is to me, then Emmy Lou, Dolly , and Linda are the Angel Choir.

[@ChuckHackney]

American heroes, American icons all three. A treasure from the music gods to us, may their music remain prescient and eternal!

[@jtcolo43]

Oh Boy! Emmylou Harris is legend as well. Try “Boulder to Birmingham” . She wrote that after her partner Graham Parsons ( legend as well). passed away. Her Break out album kicks ass with Graham Parson’s songs. After his passing, her and Linda became close friends. Thanks 🙏

[@sweetwilly]

Three legends. Check out Emmylou singing Boulder to Birmingham.

[@jgog59]

First I’m so happy you did the live version from the David Letterman show it’s brilliant it’s better than the recording. When Linda met EmmyLou for the first time In the early 70s. Linda was the opening act for Neil Young she was just about to hit it big and Emmy Lou was working with Graham Parsons amazing mazing man who died too young. Linda went to see Gram Parsons after her show at a honky Tonk . Being the only two girl singers in a very male space They got to talking about who they are famous girl saying it was and they both said Dolly Parton. I believe they would need in the next year and the three of them realize that they were musical sisters because their voices blended so well. If it was up to EmmyLou and Linda they would allow Dolly to sing all the leads. All of them take turns on the lead on both albums and the unreleased material they came out later on.

[@eileendobbs8009]

Their harmonies give me goosebumps. My favorite from this album is High Sierras. It's so beautiful I want to cry.

[@robertsterner2145]

Emmylou is amazing--you should listen to some of her stuff because she's a legend for a reason. Her earliest records do an interesting fusion of country and soft rock but then on her Roses in the Snow album, she turns to real Appalachian traditional music and really ushered in the neotraditional movement in country. I don't necessarily love country music, but I adore Emmylou.

[@bobdelp2023]

THIS IS A NEIL YOUNG SONG HARRI :) A GREAT CLASSIC FROM NEIL'S 70 ALBUM ( AFTER THE GOLD RUSH ) :) THE ALBUM RIGHT BEFORE HIS MASTERPIECE ( HARVEST

[@kathrynchestnut6637]

Listening to these ladies made my heart feel good. I wish we could hear them more. Thank you for playing this.

[@bennydawes3847]

Can’t find three voices that sounds like this today.

[@1177kc]

Emmylou and Don Williams singing If I Needed You is also breathtaking.

[@mikecaetano]

Nice! You've hit the trifecta with this jewel. This performance was from Late Night with David Letterman, March 24, 1999. The instrument that sounds like angels, church organ, and calliope smashed together -- you can see it in the shot when Dolly sings the line about the silver spaceships -- is called a glass harmonium. Benjamin Franklin invented the mechanical version in 1761. Emmylou Harris is a country-folk singer who debuted in the 70's. She worked with Gram Parsons among others. The version of "Love Hurts" the two of them released in in 1973 -- four months after Parsons passed away -- is really really good. A few other songs from her to check out are "Sweet Old World", "Boulder To Birmingham", and "If I Could Only Win Your Love".

[@debbiechang5781]

Hey Mike. Thank you for your informative comment. Do you happen to know who was playing the piano in this appearance? It looks like Marvin Hamlisch. 🌺✌️

[@andyfletcher3561]

@@debbiechang5781 It certainly does. The way he's seemingly bent over *below* the shoulders in that tell tale "slump" sure looks like him.

[@lynncallfas2457]

Red Dirt Girl is a great Emmylou song.

[@JackStraw1961]

Three angels on one stage.

[@joesiano21]

Dolly has the voice of an angel. She sings with no effort.

[@User_gin_927untileternity]

Absolutely love this cover of Neil Young's song! I've always been a big fan of Linda Ronstadt ~ Thanks to Harri and Debbie

[@SueProst]

I strongly suggest by Trio. The Greatest Gift. Emmi Lou Harris has 12 Grammys

[@darlaflorence7428]

Love Emmylou Harris is awesome. You should react to a few songs she does by herself.

[@lorijones9579]

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a glass armonica as part of a stage performance like this before. Their song "Farther Along" gives each of the three lead on a verse. It's very beautiful. Have you reacted to the Dixie Chicks? Their cover of "Landslide" is superb.

[@goyhoipolloi]

The Trio really shown bright on this Neil Young classic. They put their own brand on it and turn it from a medium up tempo song into a gorgeous and atmospheric track that really haunts the heart. They used an instrument that really contributed to the atmosphere of the song that was invented by Benjamin Franklin ( An American Founding Father, Ambassador to France, and notable inventor and good amateur scientist. The instrument is called a glass harmonica. Stunning sound. This song is from their 2nd Trio album. The first was released around 1986 and it has some excellent stuff on it. Both albums are a must own and will provide many hours of "diamonds in your ears." You said you love gospel music, like The Statler Brothers ( those are my guys! LoveD them for 52 years! ). There is country, folk, gospel, bluegrass, and some popular tracks on these albums. They show their versatility all while singing like angels. I am so glad we have two albums of their collaborations, but wouldn't have minded a few more albums ( even a Christmas album). Oh well, the two albums they offered us are treasures.

[@marciv2964]

Excellent choice. No one like these three

[@andyfletcher3561]

One of my favorite Neil Young songs, but this is the first time hearing it that it brought the tears. The good tears, not bad tears. Thank you Harri, Thank you...

[@josephmullinax6118]

I've been living your reactions. The song the sweetest gift. It's also a song done by the trio. But Linda ronstadt takes the lead in it. It's the perfect song to hear all 3 women individually

[@michelleortega1514]

This is a Neil Young song.Both versions equally as good.

[@asquare9316]

Awesome stuff!! The armonica was a perfect accompaniment to these three angels.

[@dsusan17]

You are so right Harri. Three of the most beautiful voices to ever grace God's Earth. Emmy Lou did a great duo with Don Williams - If I Needed You. She has several wonderful singles. I suggest the song To Daddy. Great reaction Harri!

[@1177kc]

Her cover of Elvis Costello’s Allison is gorgeous. Her recording of Wayfaring Stranger is my favorite though.

[@ThePittsburghToddy]

So pretty that I could cry. Oh, yeah, I am…🥲✌🏻✨

[@johnandrews3151]

A group named Prelude had the hit first with After The Gold Rush in 1974. it was sang acapella.

[@sallysharp3845]

Absolutely beautiful. This is a Neil Young song. You should check out his version too.

[@michaelnelson1128]

Yes it is ,but he didn't win a Grammy award for his version, but these three ladies did!

[@ChuckHackney]

Absolutely. Also, I forget the group, but someone did a capella version of this song that was a huge hit in the mid-70s.

[@WendyJoJohnston]

Diamonds in my ears, indeed! Thank you for playing this memory, I needed it today.

[@sealdrup]

Linda did say that she preferred to sing backup or harmonize as opposed to sing lead. Fell in love with Linda back in her 'You're No Good' days, but mostly introduced to Dolly (with the exception of 9 to 5) thru this union. Emmylou I had discovered along the way. I am not really a country (or folk) fan but the lady can definitely sing. The blending of their voices with Trio was heavenly.

[@karenj3611]

A Vocal Trifecta!! Perfection

[@eclecticwitch6669]

Thanks!

[@susangalloway3055]

The whole album is great!

[@DSanto-bk6oq]

Emmylou Harris's harmonies with John Denver on "Wild Montana Skies" is a must-hear.

[@twanadenson1293]

Great cover of the CSN & Y song.

[@scapito]

Excited to see someone reacting to Trio!!! Their albums are amazing. Emmylou Harris is such a gem and often overlooked by reactors. 💜 My favorite by her is Red Dirt Girl. She also has a collaborative album with Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits that knocked my socks off.

[@efbaggins1]

They all took the lead on vocals equally on both the Trio and Trio II albums. Because of each of their schedules they were never able to put together a concert tour. Just occasional TV appearances and the two albums. This video you reacted to was from The Late Show with David Letterman. I real gem.

[@JeannieBeanie]

So glad you did this one. Perfect blend of voices. No tricks all talent.

[@TallBlondeSassy]

Something tonight reminded me of this one. I looked to see if you did this one because, of all the reviewers I watchhh, I knew you were the one to give the ultimate RESPECT and pay homage to one of the most beautiful songs ever sang. You made this 61 yar old lady so happy kiddo. Thank you.❤❤❤

[@pamelabest970]

Please look into EmmyLou Harris . She has the voice of an angel.

[@deansmith6967]

You must explore the work of Emmylou Harris. There is a reason she is part of this amazing Trio.

[@deadandburied7626]

Look up "Are You Tired" with Linda in lead.

[@ednafenton7558]

We grew up listening to these 3 ladies with their solo careers. But then we got a beautiful 🎁 when they sang together. Emmylou did a cover of "Mr. Sandman" in the 70's. Dolly & Linda are singing backup. The l think the 1st hit song off of the Trio album was "To know him is to love him". The other 2 are "Telling me lies" & "Those memories of you". Doesn't matter which song you pick from Trio1 or 2. They are all great! Emmylou has had duet hits with Vern Goslin, Buck Owens, Don Williams, John Denver, Roy Orbison & Earl Thomas Conley. Those are the ones l know that were played on Country radio. As mentioned below other great harmony albums are, Honky Tonk Angels with Dolly, Loretta Lynn & Tammy Wynette. K.D. Langs Shadowland singing with Brenda Lee, Kitty Wells & Loretta Lynn. Also for great harmonies The Gatlin Brothers, The Forester Sisters, The kindalls, The Statler Brothers, The Girls Next Door, The Oak Ridge Boys, The Carter Family, The McCarter Sisters to name just a few in Country Music.

[@keymack2477]

Harri, this was absolutely beautiful and a gorgeous cover of this great Neil Young song, but now you have done it! You need to react to Neil's version as well as that by an a capella group called Prelude, which was a huge hit in the 70's!

[@CactusTree73]

Another song from Trio with Linda singing lead is “Telling Me Lies”. My favorite song from their first Trio album.

[@envirogeekyyc]

Love these ladies, sill have my Trio album on the shelf. Other good versions - kd Lang, and I love the version by Prelude.

[@StevenHughes-hr5hp]

You should check out another trio. A young Dolly singing with Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette.

[@Gledge9]

Love these gals. I get a tingling up my spine and tears in my eyes everytime I listen to them. Music like this is the true magic of the world ✌️

[@JerisEve]

Yes, yes, yes! Finally, the Trio. It doesn't get any better than this. (OK, Maybe the Beatles, but I'm only conceding based on songwriting.) These three are magic. Please, now do one with Linda singing lead: Telling Me Lies, which won Song of the Year at the CMA's and was nominated in the same category at the Grammy's. Then please do one with Emmylou in front. I'll let someone else pick since Emmylou tends to step back and let others take the lead. She has sung backup and/or harmony for Linda and Dolly and nearly anybody else you can name (Bob Dylan, Neil Young, etc.). She has countless albums of her own, and I own nearly all of them. There isn't a clunker in the bunch. Consider her "duet" with Linda on Linda's cover of the Hank Williams classic I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You). Man, they sound good together. Harri, you'll melt.

[@melodymcdonald2140]

Emmylou also does a great duet wth Dan Fogelberg called Only The Heart May Know....beautiful harmonies...

[@itzel1735]

I had this album. 🙂 A similar collaboration was 1993’s “Honkey Tonk Angels” album with Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette. I recommend 1988’s “Honkey Tonk Angles Medley”. The song had Loretta Lynn, Kitty Wells, Brenda Lee and kd lang. The music video is fun BTS film with 3 legendary ladies of country music and kd standing in for Patsy Kline.

[@eclconsulting]

So glad you got to Trio. 2 fabulous albums.

[@sharonpate5481]

Please check out “High Sierra” ☮️❤️🌻👵🏼. Linda does the lead on it 🌻

[@jolenewitzel7919]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@maryannanderson2213]

4:46 What is that instrument that guy is playing? I have never seen it before. Emmylou, Dolly and Linda I think have the best harmony of any artists who have a collab record. When you do not record together all the time but come together for one project and yet you come up with a sound like this...wow what great talent. I think my favorite song by Trio is Those Memories. Another beautiful song.

[@neildonley9626]

A glass harmonica. Invented by Ben Franklin.

[@The5thGen]

There is a French Horn solo on Neil's original version.

[@mirojugum1339]

It was actually a flugelhorn.

[@delorespetree3243]

Great voices together

[@johncampbell756]

I believe there is a version of this song they sang on Dolly Parton's 1970s TV show. Then they kept all of Neil's lyrics. Originally the title track to 1970s After the Gold Rush, the original line was the prescient "Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 1970s." Check the song Evangeline by The Band featuring Emmylou Harris. Essentially a music video created by Martin Scorsese fir the concert documentary The Last Waltz as the concert didn't really touch on The Band's country side.

[@tomlorenzen4062]

Emmylou is just phenomenal, no better woman singer

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

This was a song originally down by Neil Young from the album After The Goldrush

[@pageribe2399]

Check put Emmy Lou's version of "Coat of Many Colors." (written by Dolly Parton)

[@kickycan]

Nice. As a big Neil Young fan, I can only hope you will react to his original version at some point as well.

[@JerisEve]

PS Neil Young wrote this song, and Emmylou has worked with Neil a lot. He sings for her; she sings for him. All of those years ago, Neil was writing about a dream in which children were being flown to a new planet to begin human life there. There can be no good reason. This song invariably makes me cry as scientist are now searching for a planet to save some remnants of the human race. None has been found. We either save this planet, or we disappear.

[@arrow5599]

NEIL YOUNG WROTE IT AND SANG IT

[@debbiechang5781]

This song was written by Neil Young and that looks like Marvin Hamlisch on piano ( not sure). That strange looking instrument is called a glass armonica. Actually, Linda took the lead in many of their songs as “Trio”. Thanks Harri 🌺✌️

[@maryannanderson2213]

Thanks for identifying that instrument. I just left a message asking what it was.

[@User_gin_927untileternity]

So sad that she has that disease that's similar to Parkinson's, my bro died from it last year. I love Linda's duet w/James Ingram, "Somewhere Out There!" Thanks

[@neildonley9626]

I recommend Emmylou's Pancho and Lefty. A cover of a Townes VanZandt song.

[@tonypotts1644]

Not sure why they felt it necessary to change the lyrics. Perhaps 'felt like getting high', which was changed to 'like I would cry', is not acceptable on mainstream US TV. Also, 'in the twentieth century' did not scan as well as the original, 'nineteen seventies'. Oh well, what do I know? Give me the original any day.

[@indiecarmayne]

Trio is actually a German NDW (Neue Deutsche Welle i.e. New German Wave) Band; one of their most famous hits is "Da-DaDa". They give a totally different vibe than those ladies above. As always most NDW tracks are quite funny and that one is no exception. I'm not sure if there's an English version or at least one with subtitles or lyrics but it may very well be worth to check that out... Regarding to the league of ladies above - may I suggest some more which to me represent the same level of creativity: 01. Joan Baez: Donna Donna; Where Have All The Flowers Gone; Joe Hill 02. Melanie (aka Melanie Safka): Nickel Song 03. Janis Joplin: Me and Bobby McGee 04. Marianne Faithfull: A Working Class Hero (Is Something To Be) 05. Emmylou Harris: The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down; Eleanor Rigby; Boulder To Birmingham 06. Anne Clark: Hope Road; Sleeper In Metropolis 07. Cher: Half-Breed ("How I Love To Hate The Word") 08. Dolly Parton: Coat of Many Colours; Jolene; Nine To Five; Total Eclipse Of The Heart 09. Buffy Sainte-Marie: Coincidence And Likely Stories 10. Alanis Morisette: You Oughta Know 11. Tina Turner: Nutbush City Limits 12. Nina Hagen: In My World

[@mikeschoell1170]

Neil young wrote this and sings and plays it amazingly.these talented woman do this song vey nice the woman changed few original words When they sing I felt like I could fly.the way neill wrote it was I felt like getting high. But an amazing song done well.

[@curtismarsh4528]

Another great song written by Neil Young. Check out Youngs Love is a rose, covered by Linda Ronstadt.

[@mlockette7210]

Linda made a Cajun album with Ann Savoy, a South Louisiana musician, that is hauntingly beautiful. One of their songs is "Adieu False Heart": kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqDQiWdmeqipias. Amazing duet.

[@carmensandiego7749]

If you listen to other songs by the Trio, they were very democratic, there are songs Dolly has lead on like this and some that Linda takes lead and some that Emmylou takes lead, definitely.

[@mikemurphy1700]

I hope they asked Neil if they could change his lyrics.

[@josephmullinax6118]

Emmylou Harris last album was the wrecking ball. Please react to any song there.. Her style of music is very similar to this.

[@jchampboston]

I think you’re forgetting you reacted to the three of them doing a High Sierra and when you were reacting you said you would hope to hear the other people thing but all you could hear was Linda

[@anthonybalistreri5226]

You must explore more of Emmylou. also, check out the original from Neil Young

[@laminator72]

Listen to Emmylou singing 'Pancho and Lefty'.

[@jamesharper3933]

Beautiful rendition of Neil Young's song.

[@custardflan]

More Emmylou Harris. BOULDER TO BIRMINGHAM.

[@karolyn8644]

Thank you for reacting to Trio. One could put the two Trio albums on an endless loop and listen to them all day, they're that good. I hope you will dive deeper into the Emmylou Harris catalog. Willie Nelson famously said, "There are two kinds of men in this world, those who are in love with Emmylou Harris and those who have never met Emmylou Harris." Everybody wants to sing with her, and many of the best have. She even did a world tour & an album with Mark Knopfler. Here's the title song, should you choose to react to it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqjMio2Ki8l1nKc&start_radio=1 I would also suggest a number or two from her Old Grey Whistle Test concert in London, the Chuck Berry Cajun classic, C'est la Vie, You Never Can Tell, and Luxury Liner. You can't go wrong with Emmylou. You might even fall in love. More Linda might also be a good idea.
