Young, foxy Emmylou Harris, 64 today…

Emmylou is my favorite ‘country’ vocalist, and I look forward to her new album and the tour she’ll be doing immediately after its release. Last I saw her live was 15 years ago when I was living in Vancouver - next will be in Oslo four weeks from now.

We’ll do a bit of a retrospective for the next hour or so, starting w. some early collaborations that Emmylou did in ’70s - moving on to her golden age ‘mainstream’ country LPs, mid-’70s/early ’80s - then to the more radical ’90s and ’00s stuff she started doing w. Daniel Lanois and Malcolm Burn - closing w. a recent collaborative effort w. Conor Oberst…

Seeing her on occasion around town reminds me that she still is foxy at 64.
