I first saw her in Dublin in the 70’s. A friend gave me his ticket. They had double printed tickets and I wound up sitting next to the guy mixing the sound. We got talking and I found out he came from my hometown. He asked me back to the Shelbourne to the after concert party. I got to meet Emmy Lou.

You're driving along the Interstate, a long way from home. It's a warm night. The windows are down.. The radio is on but the signal is a bit weak. Then Emmylou's voice comes thru the radio and you break into tears. Her voice can do that. Every time.

Emmylou Harris’ voice has a very rare ethereal quality. It almost defies description. This song is perfect,actually perfect in every way..from the arrangement,to the nuances of the Steel Guitar, to the nuances of her voice. I honestly am in awe of this recording. Again,in my opinion, musical perfection.

Wow - Emmylou, Rodney Crowell, Albert Lee, and Hank DeVito. What a treat. :-)
Hank DeVetto, Brit guitarist, Albert Lee, Glen D. Hardin, the Enactron truck, and who's who in country music has played or sung with ELH. Jimmy Works, who died at 94 years young wrote a good one. Emmylou made it a classic.
Love this song and the ever beautiful voice of Emmylou Harris from the Pacific Island Of Papua New Guinea 2024.
The voice of an angel, the soul of a saint. I love your music Emmylou, and you too1

Grow up with daddy listening to Emmy.now he is no more ,its just good memories of the past,but these songs are eternal.
Been enjoying this lady’s singing for forty years, Never stopped loving it.
My husband Don loves her music. Real Country music at it's best.
I can‘t believe how beautiful this is.
The vibrato is magnificent! A part of her soul shows in every song she sings.
The most beautiful country singer plus her voice is amazing
So glad that much of her is caught in video, for the ages
I'm 67 and I've listened to her since I was 20🤩
The best version. Full of emotion plus very sweet voice with soothing music
Of all the artists who performed this wonderful song, Emmy Lou's is the best. Her voice is made for it.

I agree. Her version of "Tougher than the Rest" which in my opinion is preferable to that of the songwriter also has a "wordless coda" which is very effective: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qqOpqdunZbrMnpM.html
I like her version the best. She gets as much feeling expressed as anyone could.
Hank DeVito on pedal steel was the perfect counterpoint to Emmylou's voice
Emmylou Harris has the most beautiful voice. I have just discovered her and will enjoy listening to her amazing voice forever 💝

Have followed her since Early seventies. Best voice ever.
It was just a year or so before this song, "Making Believe," that she's singing now, that I ever heard of Emmy Lou Harris. In 1976 at the Circle Star Theater, I thought I went to see Willie Nelson. I never heard of Emmy Lou. She opened for Willie, I could hear her, before I could see her, as the stage turned slowly around as the performers were singing. The stage rolled slowly around, It seemed the lady who was singing, was made out of Angel Clay. That night, she was the prettiest women on the planet. Now 46 years have gone by, she's old and gray-haired, but amazingly, she's still made of angel clay. Still gorgeous beyond belief. That's young Rodney Crowell singing with her. Albert lee playing lead guitar. Their music will famous 1000 years from now.
