I think Paul McCartney could write superb ballards at the drop of a hat. Like Elton John or David Gates could in their hayday. The thing is, here is the definitive performance of a perfectly crafted ballard - that haunting harmonica is perfect! She loved the Beatles and here that love comes to the fore - sublime.
@SPINGOREB In McCartney's hands, it's just a silly little love song. Typical Macca fluff. Give it to Emmylou, and it grows a soul. Exquisite is too mild a word. There aren't enough superlatives.
Sorry for being sexist but what a beautiful woman singing a beautiful song. Our wedding song. Even though McCartney wrote and sang it Emmy Lou Harris owns this song hands down.
Rare to like a cover better than the original, but in this case, I certainly do. Simply beautiful.

I love the Beatles ..no doubt. But, this version is fantastic....Also Judy Collins "In My Life" is
a classic Beatles cover.

@Redrowan2000 You're not being sexist. You're being factual. This is an exquisite version. I also think this is her best song.

There is nothing sexist about acknowledging a beautiful woman.
