It says it all that Mark is sitting in the background without any of the lights on him. Such a brilliant and humble musician. Superstar? Yes. But Not really. Master craftsman. Master of the craft of music. Thats him.

My mother was a red dirt girl, from the back o Bourke. Married a railway man from Albury or some such. The railways have figured large in my life, even when asleep.. a magic that underlines all our realities ‐ 24/7, night and day

The secret is to get out of those red dirt states. Go the pill and you don't always need a man. You can do a Euro tour like Jane Austen suggested . If you don't know what it means look it up.

Daniel Lanois produced the album where she sang "Here I Am". Feels like he pushed her to sing a little out of character, and they hit a home run.
She's always had a beautiful voice but somehow over time it seems that it has matured into something beyond perfection. Bowls me over every time. Soul, spirit, love and a lifetime of living spills out.

“Could have been the whiskey Could have been the pills.” Truer words have never been sung.
Just her voice and guitar picking sounuds like angel singing. But Mark and guys with their numerous instruments gave additional magic to this stunning tune. That I love so much. The whole Knopfler & Harris project is such a God given thing. I've heard the album, saw two of them performing together on YT what can be seen. My only regret is that was not able to see them live. THAT would be ultimate magic. Cause it can be felt here...on this video. And on Shangri La...and others. The reaction of the audience....All of it. So, so beautiul. Dear Mrs Harris and dear Mr Knopfler...thank you so much for the beuty you've created. You've heared it surely million times...but here's a million and one - thank you for the joy you give to my life.
I'm 51 years old and this is my first time listening to Emmylou Harris....Talk about regret... All those wasted years. She is mesmerizing. Thank god I'm a huge fan of Mark Knopfler, I may have never listened to her.

I am from that part of the world, and I have seen the world, and that damn Red Dirt (clay) is as much a part of me as anything else. When I get to missing my people back in Alabama, I can count on this song to take me back there to walking barefoot down an old red dirt road with my brothers and friends. This song really gets the desperation, the fear of being left in a small backward world, but a kind of lingering appreciation for from where one comes . Much love to all!

Emmylou Harris is a national treasure.
Wow! Emmylou Harris is a national treasure. This song is perfection.
I once heard Emmylou talk about this song as it relates to her. She explains...I was not a red dirt girl myself. This song brought up memories of the south ( Alabama), where she was born. But she came from a military family, her father was a Major in the Marine Corps., and her parents moved a lot. She was a small child when they moved and lived in NC, VA and Md. As she states, she got the words in her mind while driving by Meridian on her way to New Orleans. She proved yo be a great song writer.
A heartache, captured by Emmylou and the musicians. A heartache.
Emmy Lou‘s voice gives me chills all over🎶🎶👍😘
Emmylou We loved you in the 70s and still do, our youngest daughter is named after you xxxx
Emmy is so accomplished in this song that she can carry this song as a solo effort. She needs no one to accompany her to tell her story. This version is outstanding.
Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris cosa puoi sentire di meglio, dopo averli ascoltati puoi anche morire
I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this music. It's purely beautiful.
God I love this song. Invokes a cascade of emotions, memories, and lives lost that somehow are still with us. Thank you Emmylou for a lifetime of joy and tears and thankfulness.

I've loved both of these artists all of my life. It is wonderful to hear them TOGETHER! 😊
A very beautiful sound that is pleasent to listen to suitable to listen to when relaxing on the beach or with friends before going to sleep
Emmy Lou wrote a true modern day classic country masterpiece with this one. One of the finest songs I’ve heard
The haunting, heartbreaking beauty of this song. It is America.
This song stops time …. Stunning words … tears of joy
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
Thank you Mark Knopler and Emmylou Harris. Beautiful 🎶
I had never heard this until I got into ‘First Aid Kit’ and You tube put the song up, their cover is amazing! Beautiful song.

Emmy is the most accomplished singer. She is singer songwriter extraordinaire. She is the quintessential queen of music.
"Never got farther than Viet Nam" How many families must have had that experience. Heartbreaking.
Brings tears of Joy each and every time I hear her. So utterly beautiful words just don't do her justice. Long may you live Emmylou...
Saw EmmyLou this past week here...she still has it! Red Dirt Girl fifth in playlist...memories from my trucking days. Beautiful! Thank you EmmyLou.
I saw their concert in Barcelona. I went because I love Mark Knopfler's music. But when Emmylou started singing I realized who the legend is. In live she is different, you feel different and you stay hooked on the song until she finishes. Does anyone else agree with me?

Emmylou's voice is absolutely timeless, but she is one hell of a songwriter too. She has these little lines that are just absolute punches to the gut. One of my favorite lines is from Boulder to Birmingham (a song about Gram Parsons death) "Well you really got me this time. And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive." Such an amazingly haunting line about grief and mourning.

Just beautiful to keep it simple. Made me cry.
The song, like this is like story of once life, the more You want to run away the more You dig a hole to make Your self stay......You want to go far places and end up not going anywhere......dream big, but never end up to put that hammer down with the nice sound.They dont make songs like that anymore, song with a soul, so nice. BRAVO. TH
We are in the presence of beautiful music and deep truth here. Thank you Emmylou for who you are, and what you have sung.
From Emmylou Harris herself - the background to this song on her website: "I am very, very inspired by the sound of words, and the names of places are so melodic and beautiful," she said. "I was passing through Meridian on my way down to record in New Orleans and that's what started it." "But what really took it over the edge for me was on a night off in New Orleans we went to see Boys Don't Cry," Emmylou continued. "It unnerved me, not only because of the violence and homophobia, but also because of the underlying theme of how trapped those young people were. We all come into this world with so much potential and so many dreams. Who knows why some people escape and other people don't? The key idea is in the lyric, 'There won't be any mentions on The News of the World.'" Emmylou told the story of the song to American Songwriter magazine: "I had driven to New Orleans with my dog Bonaparte and I passed the sign for Meridian, and I started making rhymes in my head. So I had this rhyme scheme but I didn't know what it was about. You get crushes on words and then the rhymes come. Anyways, right after I got there, I went to see the movie Boys Don't Cry. This story about the lost lives of these young people with nowhere to go and it turns into such negative things …" "I've had this incredibly blessed life, but I created this character who'd had all of these hopes … and I just made this story up inspired by my remembrances of the south. I also imposed the lives of these kids from Boys Don't Cry. Who knows where these songs come from? It's such a mystery to me. Sometimes, I think, 'God, I really wrote that?'" A stunning, sad song, about everyday life in America.

Such a beautiful sad song wonderfully sung by Emmylou. Always moves me to tears. Beautiful accompaniment too from Mark's band.
As a 19 year old, I got to see her several times before she was "discovered", playing at the Childe Harold in D.C., near Dupont Circle, in the very early '70s. There were about 30 people in that little club, and, of course, all of us guys had a crush on her. My buddy lived near her parents out in Howard County. Still go see her when she is on tour. She's gone a long ways from that little club, as have all of us.

I saw her at the Child Herald in 1971...when she was unknown. Sitting at a table with a friend, I heard her singing folk music..it was a Buffy Saint Marie song. She sounded like Joan Baez and with her long black hair..so beautiful. I asked someone what's her name and found out and remembered. A few years later I heard her sing on an album with Gram Parsons and I said...dammit...its her. I went out and bought the album "Grevious Angel". Now I have most of her albums and have been in love with her since 1971. I saw her once more after that and hope to see her again so I can tell her my story. She is awsome.
