The more I know about her , the more I truly believe that she’s as great an artist as anyone we have produced. Brilliant, unspoiled, always touched by inevitable sadness. A great interpreter of music, a great songwriter, a great lady!

Emmylou is a national treasure. And has SOOOOOO much musical integrity.

Emmylou is the 'audient' that reminds us authentic voices on social media are NOT a means to an end. Emmylou remained true to the Feminine Genius and she always remembered something beautiful keeps us united. I would love her so much since she lives in the zone of “What unites us is much greater than what divides us.” “If I Could Only Win Your Love” is my favorite song by Emmylou. I was down in Stoughton, Massachusetts down on 642 Pleasant Street, maybe 1977. Mom and dad had just installed the in-ground pool. And they had the country music station playing. This song was the first song I heard walking into the kitchen and the melody was so good I paused and listened to it. It was such a perfect pitch that remains with me to this day. Tesla once said, "If your hate could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world." Replace hatred with chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility and light up the world for our Lord. This is what authentic free energy is all about. "If your chastity could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world." "If your temperance could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world." "If your charity could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world." "If your diligence could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world." "If your patience could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world." "If your kindness could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world." "If your humility could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world." I do not think the world understands just how much the Sacred Virgin is ready to fight for us. Once Emmy starts singing in the memory of Gram Parsons from back in September 19, 1973, the Great Awakening will begin. Most people know Gram Parsons died on September 19, 1973, in room eight of the Joshua Tree Inn, near Joshua Tree National Park. But no one today even seems to be aware that Gram Parsons was briefly a theology student at Harvard. I suspect if Gram was alive today his song might have been sung something like this. To the Africans, the Virgin Mary appears African. To the American Indians, the Virgin Mary appears American Indian. To the Asians, the Virgin Mary appears Asian. To the Australians, the Virgin Mary Appears Australian. To the Europeans, the Virgin Mary Appears European. To the Indians, the Virgin Mary appears Indian. To the Melanesians, the Virgin Mary appears Melanesian. To the Micronesians, the Virgin Mary appears Micronesian. To the Polynesians, the Virgin Mary appears Polynesian. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me- holy is His name. His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation. - Luke 1:48-50 ❤

This just made me realize how much i love Emmylou, what an amazing woman. !!

Dear Emmylou, I have always loved your musicianship and gifted voice. As an old folkey myself, your honesty comes through, thank you

A beautiful voice and soul. Have always loved her, always will. God bless her and keep her; thank you for the incredible music & stories. ❤☝️🙏🙌

what an amazing artist.she goes througth time.she made a legendary duo with Mark knopfler

Fell hard for her music way back & what a ride Gillian Welch & Cowboy Junkies love them & then there’s Emmy Lou ❤from an Australian she can break my heart ( in the nicest way)❤I mentioned the junkies etc because they also have a purity & directness that just is so beautiful! Buddy & Julie Millers written in chalk I adore !!

First heard this by first Aide kit. What a great song. Moved from nyc to South Carolina. Didn't know crepe myrtle or blue tick hounddog

I WISH HER MANY YEARS OF GOOD HEALTH , A GIFTED LADY

Red Dirt Girl is an amazing song.

She’s magnificent ❤

As the facts and figures continue to be compiled on the life of EMMYLOU HARRIS it quite obvious at this point and place in time that we have witnessed one of greatest stories in music history , her life’s work is beyond stellar like the silver trail of a passing comet, here for us to see and enjoy. Gram parsons believed in what he called cosmic music by his own definition , and EMMYLOU has certainly surpassed that vision and idea that gram had. She has done it with all the passion and witt that only few dreamed of and been able to accomplish ,You have done one STELLAR job with it all, here’s to you in your 75th year, STEPHEN L, GARDNER

Have loved her since the 60's,still do!! Songbird/Beauty

Songbird by the wonderful late Jess Winchester. Beautiful voice and great songwriter. Much like John Prine. Often simple songs, simple words that could make you cry and in Jessie’s case, for me, a beautiful emotional voice.

Simply The Best... Thanks for putting this out.

Seeing her watching First Aid Kit sing an otherworldly red dirt girl, i hope she realized in that moment that she is and will always be immortal...

That video made tears well in my eyes! Such love, such sincerety between the girls and EmmyLou! FAK are very good themselves, too, btw.

Precious!!!

The freedom to truly express oneself is critical. Bravo, dear lady.

The sense of depression in the song...like a huge boulder pressing you down into the ground (the red dirt?)

Emmylou Harris, j'adore

She's an all-time best.

What numbskull gave this a thumbs down? We are talking about a legend here. If you don't like what this lady has accomplished with her God given voice and talent, you don't understand anything about real music and songwriting.

@EmmylouLouHarris first thank you so much for your answer!! Charlie 47 from France.

I love you Emmylou Harris…….

Wrecking Ball raised the stakes. Yes, yes it did.. great production with Daniel Lanois

This is both one of the most beautiful and yet the most depressing song ever written. And if you've never seen the video of FIRST AID KIT singing it on youtube, you need to, they sing it just as great as Emmy Lou does. I saw Emmy Lou sing this live and it will give you the chills, it's so beautiful, but will also drain your heart with pain. Everything a good song should.

Beautiful and poignant, not depressing. One of her best.

Let her read the yellow pages out loud. Another great record!

She has a beautiful voice although she has lost some of it with age. She always loved Gram but rarely admits it and most of her music, even her covers, are really about him.

I think she wants everyone to love and appreciate him as much as she does.

Me and my best friend Lillian And her blue tick hound dog Gideon Sittin' on the front porch coolin' in the shade Singin' every song the radio played Waitin' for the Alabama sun to go down Two red dirt girls in a red dirt town Me and Lillian Just across the line And a little southeast of Meridian She loved her brother I remember back when He was fixin' up a '49 Indian He told her, ? Little sister, gonna ride the wind Up around the moon and back again" He never got farther than Vietnam I was standin' there with her When the telegram come for Lillian Now he's lyin' somewhere About a million miles from Meridian She said, ? There's not much hope for a red dirt girl Somewhere out there is a great big world That's where I'm bound" "And the stars might fall on Alabama But one of these days I'm gonna swing My hammer down" Away from this red dirt town I'm gonna make a joyful sound She grew up tall and she grew up thin Buried that old dog Gideon By a crepe myrtle bush in the back of the yard Her daddy turned mean and her mama leaned hard Got in trouble with a boy from town Figured that she might as well settle down So she dug right in Across a red dirt line Just a little south east of Meridian Yes, she tried hard to love him But it never did take Just another way for the heart to break So she learned to bend One thing they don't tell you about the blues When you got 'em You keep on fallin' 'cause there ain't no bottom There ain't no end at least not for Lillian Nobody knows when she started her skid She was only 27 and she had five kids Could-a been the whiskey, could-a been the pills Could-a been the dream she was tryin' to kill But there won't be a mention in the News of the World About the life and the death of a red dirt girl Named Lillian Who never got any farther Across the line than Meridian Now the stars still fall on Alabama Tonight she finally laid That hammer down without a sound In the red dirt ground

In the seventies Emmy performed with Bob Dillon, Arlo Guthrie and several other greats On the Rolling Thunder Revue at the Springfield Civic Center in Springfield MA. Does any one remember which song she sang?

Love Emmy. Didn’t know she smoked. Yuk

@EmmylouLouHarris I played you singing "Bang the drum" at my Dad's funeral. I still cry every time I hear it. I've met you a couple times and you have been a huge influence in my life and as song writer. God bless you thank you for always sharing your heart with all of us. And helping us find ours 💞
