Emmylou Harris
|
Emmylou Harris’ CD, All I Intended to Be, her first new CD in 5 years, reunites her with her former producer (and husband) Brian Ahern for a languorous, melancholy set of country-ish songs of which Emmylou’s 5 originals excel.
She’s backed by a great set of musicians and, on some tracks, with her bluegrass buddies from her Washington D.C. early music days.
