Emmylou Harris: Boulder to Birmingham

[ivordreem]

Emmylou grows more beautiful with every year that passes.

I have always loved her, and her voice, and the wonderful songs written by her.

[LongLiveOx]

She must have thought her career was over when Gram died, but she's gone on to become a country music legend. I'm sure Gram would be very proud of her.

[rebahaygood]

What a beautiful tribute to Gram!!!

I bet Gram is listening to this in Heaven - this woman just moves my soul...such heartbreak - some loves never die...

[xoxb2]

Even for a song as beautiful as this is anyway, it's a wonderful version; very moving

[Freiheitsliebender64]

She is the Queen of Country, her voice touch my soul..........thanks Emmy!

[XOkie]

Her tribute to Gram.  It always makes me get a little misty eyed. You can hear how much she misses him.

[us19]

...and I think she shares writing credit with Bill Danoff.

[us19]

Pam Rose and Kennedy! This is better harmony than the album.

[mdryden02]

When I have bought a new stereo, since 1977, I have taken this song to the store to be sure the system has enough power, so that I can enjoy this song to the fullest.

[Poopaloo55]

A unique and compelling comment. Thanks for sharing this anecdote!!

[nmsan2008]

Linda E. Cambre--"Have you ever loved a woman so much it hurts? And the answer better be, 'Yes.'" It is and you are the object of affection. :-D

[bastiaansan]

love it ... toooooo much

[redcherrytomato]

this song gives me goosebumps

[roofpirates]

thats pain... so much pain...

Stacey, I miss you

I miss you

[1904wjs]

What a lovely version of this absolutely beautiful song, listened to it a few times and gets better every time. Emmylou must have loved the great Gram Parsons so much to write such a moving song as a tribute to him. She was devastated after he died but she's never forgotten him or what he did for her.  Take my hat off to this wonderful lady!!

[giannireb68]

Oh God. : ... ((

[RtImhere]

Emmylou, dear, I can tell this song has exhausted you and depleted your soul. I hear and watch you can barely form the words. Take some rest time and laugh. You keep us going with your soulful voice, but this particular time, It is evident you need a rest. Love and blessings to you. Please read my comment at the Hollies.

[JannoKlufs]

This is one of Emmy's best live performances of this song

[newrycelt52]

I love Emmy, but she only co-wrote this song with a guy called Bill Danoff, who helped write take me home country roads with john denver and is a fine songwriter in his own right.He too is excellent at Boulder To Birmingham Thanks for the video

[drummeroy]

Just listen to the heartache in this song a real heartachin',heartbreakin'song. Long live the memory of Gram Parsons

[fleekitch1]

Is a beautiful song,but let's remember gram too!

[Temperalles]

A fine song, made better with age.

[SHOSALOSA]

Sensational.

[mrr419]

I think the she does the song better with time. It's even more heartbreaking to me now than the original version.

[bpc1960]

i saw her in chicago a few days ago......she play this and it was wonderful

[Notelova]

Can't listen to this without a tear in my eye. Such a soulful voice, and such a performance. . . . but it is Emmylou. . . the best

[cstrother]

some of the best lyrics ever; tear your heart out; Gram was such a talent and such a waste

[FloatingGrin]

I've never listened to this without crying...the emotion and the beautiful voice, well it gets me every time

[lawhore55]

took my mum to this. she was 81. she died last week. want to play this at her funeral. is there a DVD or any ideas anyone how i can do it?

[gerardifoley]

Larest version: DVD + CD by Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris.

"REAL LIVE ROADRUNNING"

Song on both DVD & CD.

[curbshoppin]

loved her then love her now

[playallnite]

Emmylou you have a tear in your voice, but that what makes you the best

[Sammy2784]

I heard Emmylou sing this at the Exit-In in 1976 (Nashville). She's as beautiful a voice now as then. Truly a gift from God.

[om92555]

Wow!! 32 years after recording it she sings it with more pathos. She does get better with age. Thanks.

[welshrabbit5]

[whanusa]

I didn't realise that The Hollies did this song. I'd really like to hear that.

[14ghl]
