Emmylou Harris / Alison Krauss / Gillian Welch : Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby

[wildkingdom2012]

this was when people used to know how to sing. no vocoders or multi-tracks....just one mic and you listen and sing your part and blend ... what has the music industry become these days? the true talent is few and far between.

[brownbear7574]

watch emmylou's lips it was def her

[cizzam21]

@freakynika1 the one in the middle is Gillian lol. Left to right it's Alison, Gillian, and Emmylou.

[DGK2213]

Thumbs Up if Swamp People brought you here!

[FreakyNika1]

1:11 one of em said dress rather then shoes O_o lol still a classic though ^_^

[KatyCruel1]

@FreakyNika1 It was Gillian - Did you see that little "whoops" smile she had? =p

[FreakyNika1]

@KatyCruel1 Hahaha ya i did but she kinda hid it well and the one in the middle smiled she looked like she wanted to laugh ^_^

[curbshoppin]

three of the best right there.......and Emmy Lou still melts my heart today

[AlphonseElric122]

anyone else notice one of them said red dress instead of red shoes?

[LadybirdGryphon]

Wow, what a trio!!!

[cadbury1986]

@1:11 she messes up and says red dress instead of red shoes...lol

[11Confused112]

Honestly...<3



[samslayerr]

their voices are so enchanting

[BeanyboBean]

EmmyLou just gets more beautiful with age.

[wiscgaloot]

Gillian is singing the melody, right? I think Emmylou is singing a 3rd above and Alison a 5th above, but I can't really tell. Emmylou might be singing a lower harmony. It shows how good the harmony is when you can't pick out exactly who is doing what.

[Baritone45]

@wiscgaloot Somebody is definitely singing a fairly low alto harmony. In fact I think the other harmony is below the melody about half the time. It's impossible to tell who's doing what since the video is 5-10 seconds behind the audio.

[MrsDogLover]

.....zzzZZZZ

[marylhere]

chills

[anyamarie9]

It's amazing how much AK "zones" when she sings. I've been noticing that with her performances lately...GW reacts to EmmyLou's mix up but AK doesnt even twitch. It's funny how she can be so focused when people mix up or are screaming her name during performances. Plus fun fact...AK is where braces, you can see them during the one moment she smiles 0:45

Great post...3 very underated singers and harmonizers

[jesusjamey]

not much here, pretty boring;

[ranunley]

three talented ladies.great harmony.

[eatmytool1]

haunting...beautiful...love it!

[arnoldlayne1991]

oop. emmylou sings 'dress' instead of 'shoes' at 1:10 . welch loves it!

[christina1276]

LOVE THE SONG,Thanks for sharing!!!

[swpier29]

WOW. More of this and less of Gaga/Beiber/image-based pop, please. This left goosebumps on my skin for so long...

[Billbobaker]

Which one sings tenor?

[Fentanyl3]

Anyone notice that at about the 1:10 mark one of them says dress instead of shoes? Is it just my ears?

[gmj2012]

They aren't doing the clap that the original had, but what a harmony! LIVE video.

[RisquinRusselcoff]

with her red dress.. shoes! on...

[skinsonbbc]

I love their cover of this song. If you love this, check Emmylou Harris when she teamed with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt in Trio and Trio 2. I like the first better but that's just me.

[rebelghostrider]

totally awesome harmony

[mccurryburg]

actually makes me believe in the Trinity. Three Goddess' in perfect harmony

[BerkLeeDrm]

EmmyLou fell victim to the plastic surgeon obviously............

[kerrgal]

@BerkLeeDrm Absolutely not, some people age well.

[BerkLeeDrm]

@kerrgal well go look at some pics from 36 years ago

[BerkLeeDrm]

@BerkLeeDrm look at page 14 from current issue of The Word. Hey I hope she didnt..Im just saying she did.

[kerrgal]

@BerkLeeDrm I met her and she didn't look like she had plastic surgery. Either way, her talent is what matters, not her looks.

[ahnbra]

WOW!! What a sound. I love great harmony done acappella. This is great A+. Thank you for posting this.

[brelfan]

I wonder if Emmylou Harris, Julie Chritie and Michelle Pfiefer are on similar diets.

[jacabo1966]

I always thought of this performance as Emmylou passing the baton to the younger gals.

[honestbutugly]

Who noticed ?Emmy , and Alison had seen the big stage before, but Gillian looked so overwhelmed. It was cute and real.

[bc78260]

@honestbutugly Actually if you will notice at 1:10 she laughs at the mistake in lyrics. Red shoes/dress.....

[Hawker920]

No one can match the beautiful final note like these ladies can. It sends a shiver down my spine.

[ian3754]

Emmylou = Silver Fox

[MrDan1987dan]

divinas las vetes¡

[shadowpt]

from what album is this?

[Ebeneezerable]

@shadowpt Oh, Brother Where for art Thou.

[pureEVA]

I'll say it again, but these three ladies are soooo amazing together

[0ldb1ll]

Epic

[Sienanatural]

Love this song, this is one of my " best song ever" 

[culturevulture123]

ohhhhhhhh lord

[2boddah]

what a lineup right? :)

[broadwaymelody33]

Whoops, Emmylou accidentally said red dress!

But then again, who cares? This is gorgeous!

[CattLuver1]

I love this song, they have amazing voices

[myrapidheartbeat]

marvelous! i so wish this song did not cause such negative discretion among watchers/listeners. 

[chico11593]

This song is hauntingly beautiful. Depending on how it's sung it can either be a perfect lullaby or extremely seductive as shown in 'O, Brother Where Art Thou.'

[brookieviv]

@chico11593 nearly puts me to sleep every time i hear it!

[vada2000]

lord was emmylou ever not hot?



[FLSHBK1]

@vada2000 Yeah, when she was about four.......

[vada2000]

@FLSHBK1 lol ok ill agree with that

[martha1spur]

Saw them perform this song onstage with Patty Loveless on the Down from the Mountain tour in 2000 - soundtrack from O, Brother Where Art Thou film.

[DollyLoverForever]

Thank you so much for putting this up 1000Magicians! If I could give it 1 million stars I would! I'm a HUGE fan of Alison Krauss and Emmylou Harris, so this is a wonderful gem of a video for someone like me :)

[russtacean]

beautiful.

thanks Laurie.

[luckybuddyguy]

Angels

[reddragonready]

Awesome!!!Thanks so much for sharing! Any chance you can post more of this show?

[1000Magicians]

This performance was followed by Dan Tyminski and The Foggy Mountain Boys (inc Alison on fiddle and Jerry Douglas on steel) doing Man Of Constant Sorrow - but no more of Emmylou / Gillian.........

[reddragonready]

@1000Magicians Yes I figured from the first strains I heard there but the thing is I am an Alison fan and not living in the states so never saw this performance. :)

If you could upload that part too that would be very very much appreciated! If it helps any..I am sure I am not the only Alison fan being grateful if you did.;)

[1000Magicians]

No problem - will do

[reddragonready]

@1000Magicians

Thanks in advance. Thought I'd return the favor and upload some Emmylou you might not have seen yet? I don't know the correct song titles but I am sure you do and maybe you can let me know so I can properly name the vids?

Laurie . . .5 stars. . . .Ally
