While I'm not a religious music fan, this song is very powerful, the guitarist, makes this song, first thought it was Stevie Van Zandt, excellent song.
Above and beyond everything about the song--which is of genius and God to be sure--is Willie's attention and dedication to making the song come out as heartfelt and genuine as possible. He and Emmy seem both is awe and transfixed by Mr Lanois and rightfully so...my fav moment is at the very end when Willie looks up and has the "there but for the grace of God go I " look in his eyes--like hes truly thankful to be a part of that song while it was happening.

Love this. I think I read somewhere that Willie's TIMING is special to Willie and I think Emmylou has to keep her eyes on him to be able to keep with him.
Willie Nelson is one of the most talented men in the Business... He never stops amazing us / me with his versatile writings and song. Love You Willie..
I'm a great fan of anything Danny Lanois produces and writes. When his album Acadie got released in the late 80s I loved the song The Maker instantly.
Although I greatly apreciate Nelsons works I don't like the long bendings in his vocal here. Those bendings sound great when he sings his own material, but here they don't.
Theatro is a pretty good album produced by Lanois. Lanois also produced Mrs Harris' album Wrecking Ball.
I would love to hear The Maker sung by Emmylou and Danny alone.
I think the important thing is that Willie is singing about THE Maker - God - of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - The Lord Jesus Christ and not being known by HIM. Wonder how many others won't be known? Best to choose to know the Lord while you have the chance.
That 99% that Willie speaks of in the intro are those of that are not with Emmylou. She would probably be the first choice of millions of men. To wake up looking at her and go to sleep listening to her would be a slice of heaven.
When I saw it was Emmylou and Wilie, I knew it would be good, but adding that guitar sound - Lord have mercy! I'd forgotten what Daniel Lanois looked like and didn't realize it was him 'til the comments. I didn't know he was such a guitar player - I only knew of him as a producer. Fabulous song.
If u catch this on the ethers, we were at your 50th and 70th, you are unique and all ages love you .. love lasts... Spirit in you flows to all of us. once down the road at Red Rocks Evergreen and down to Tasmania.

I have this album by Daniel Lanois, both the cd and tape for the car. Love this album by Daniel Lanois. Jolie Louise, Sillium Hill, Under Stormy Skies, etc are on this tape. Great music, wore first one out, now have cd and tape.
Is there anybody on the planet that this woman can't sing with. I heard a comment once that everything tastes better with peanut butter on it and everything sounds better with Emmylou in it. I bought this cd and have about wore out this track.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
she never had a real comercial hitsong, only one top ten hit. i guess they always chose her as a duetpartner is because she is the best looking woman who can play and sing country - besides D. Pardon.
@coozamel Of course, she's a fairy! Anything her voice touches is blessed! But Lanois is not zero, nor Welson!Love his smile at the very end, expecting satisfaction from that bloody cajun!
@coozamel I actually do believe you're right. She's just so talented and is able to do her own wonderful thing, but knows how to give the artists that she works with enough room to make their own magic as well and that's the mark of a true and confident artist. She another example of a musician's musician. Peace.

This is such a annointed , beautiful song I fell the Holy Spirit is here as I hear the words, so true and so forgiving is the Holy Spirit, Im glad that Willie Nelson saw the light!!!!! Sonia from Hollywood, CA 7/23/09
Dave Matthews is a talented musician, but even he would admit that he's not fit to tie the shoes of Daniel Lanois, let alone those of of Willie Nelson or Emmylou Harris.
This is such a great song and superb version by Willie Nelson. But my favorite is the studio version during the credits at the end of Sling Blade by Dan Lanois.
Jerry Band is the way to fly...see the response... actually Jerry's first tyme played, captured on film, sent to D.Lanois by me ten years ago. This JGB dvd is now posted at Lossless Legs...3 in total
This was recorded on the 2nd take in the studio after a dissagreement between Willie's management and the studio over Lanois' playing. Willie sang the 2nd take, Emmylou looked nervous throughout, but all came to pass. it made it, it was real, there was emotion, and real desire in the take as well as fear, and longing. That made the song and Willie knew that, and you can see him smile at the end, knowing they had done a perfect take on the song, by giving Danny his free rein on then guitar.
Great song-I saw a version of Willie Nelson doing this on here and it was from the David Letterman show-Has anyone seen it?? It was really good and I haven't seen it in a while now?
Its amazing how he makes you really feel what hes playing. I got to say that it was like a loud familiar comforting voice that vibrates the soul. I dunno it just feels so good to hear this music. God Bless You All!!!! Long Live Wille Nelson and his band of friends.
Perfect song for Willie. The one who is driving the song is Lanois. It's his the whole way through. The only better version is of Lanois singing it. Good version on Acadie.
isn't it great how willie brings a little bit of chaos to a song that they all know, maybe too well. and the way emmy-lou follow him, every breath... just awesome
Yeah, I thot that originally too. But now, having watched alot of her videos, I think she is actually taking visual cues as regards to when she comes in with her harmonies...watch a few and tell me what you think. I've just booked my tickets for Sept in Glasgow and I am way excited! Awesome woman, awesome voice.
You are right, IMO. I watched an interview with Gram Parson on youtube where he said part of Emmylou's harmony skills was her ability top sing with anybody if she could see their eyes... that this telegraphed the changes and their style or something like that. The video is called something like Gram Parsons talks about Emmylou Harris; it's still photos with him talking about her.
I absolutely love this song. Two of my favourite singers and true legends, absolutely magnificent singer songwriters. Emmylou has the voice of an angel
There is no "greatest musician alive" (sic). However, there are conventions and standards by which we measure artistic accomplishment, and they are somewhat genre-specific. It is also characteristic of generous-spirited artists that they cross boundaries from time-to-time, often with mixed results, but so what-- it's an expression of their taste and admiration, if not always their excellence. Lighten up and love the music-- it's not a competition. BTW, Dave Matthews is great.
..this song has so many elements..some how its deeply spiritual, got such a good groove goin on, i love how it effects willie when he sings it..emmy of course is the icing on the cake with her haunting vocals. Just loving this.
That lanois boy can write good songs and plays good guitar but Willie is the only version i've heard that can make this song palatable. I've heard lanois version all the way thru and was so glad when it was over. Was hoping someone could rock it like willie does. But lanois definitly is a great songwriter. I couldnt have this for a favorite without him.Different tastes in music i guess.
Hi my name is Richie and I wanted to tell you that I worship Dave Matthews' b#$& sweat. What a moron. Notice who is PLAYING on the Wille version.....Daniel Lanois.....the writer of the song.

Its amazing how he makes you really feel what hes playing. I got to say that it was like a loud familiar comforting voice that vibrates the soul. I dunno it just feels so good to hear this music. God Bless You All!!!! Long Live Wille Nelson and his band of friends.

God, every time I see Lanois' convulsive playing it takes me back to the first time I ever saw him.
Anyone remember that PBS series, Sessions at West 54th--or something? That's where I fell in love with his sound.
I've got it on VHS somewhere and it's time for another listen, lol.

Perfect song for Willie. The one who is driving the song is Lanois. It's his the whole way through. The only better version is of Lanois singing it. Good version on Acadie.

I love how Willie is clearly pushing his vocals to the limit, and Lanois' jumpy, impassioned guitar work.

isn't it great how willie brings a little bit of chaos to a song that they all know, maybe too well. and the way emmy-lou follow him, every breath... just awesome

After they filmed, Willie bent her over and put the blocks to her and then autographed her face with man gravy.

Nice real nice. All of them. Liked Daniel Lanois burning them strings at the end. Beautiful song and inspirational words to match.

wow, the your right, the way emmy looks at willie, it's like this longing/true admiration and love in her eye, at least that's what I think I see.
radkid06 3 years ago
Yeah, I thot that originally too. But now, having watched alot of her videos, I think she is actually taking visual cues as regards to when she comes in with her harmonies...watch a few and tell me what you think. I've just booked my tickets for Sept in Glasgow and I am way excited! Awesome woman, awesome voice.

cool..ur rite, she is a living legend. I think she's so beautiful and talented. Hope both nights are great!

You are right, IMO. I watched an interview with Gram Parson on youtube where he said part of Emmylou's harmony skills was her ability top sing with anybody if she could see their eyes... that this telegraphed the changes and their style or something like that. The video is called something like Gram Parsons talks about Emmylou Harris; it's still photos with him talking about her.

I absolutely love this song. Two of my favourite singers and true legends, absolutely magnificent singer songwriters. Emmylou has the voice of an angel

There is no "greatest musician alive" (sic). However, there are conventions and standards by which we measure artistic accomplishment, and they are somewhat genre-specific. It is also characteristic of generous-spirited artists that they cross boundaries from time-to-time, often with mixed results, but so what-- it's an expression of their taste and admiration, if not always their excellence. Lighten up and love the music-- it's not a competition. BTW, Dave Matthews is great.

Well this is a great version though.
I do love the original Lanois version , and of course the Spyboy version , with Darryls "continuum"-intro. Great stuff.
Cant stand that Matthews dude though.

That lanois boy can write good songs and plays good guitar but Willie is the only version i've heard that can make this song palatable. I've heard lanois version all the way thru and was so glad when it was over. Was hoping someone could rock it like willie does. But lanois definitly is a great songwriter. I couldnt have this for a favorite without him.Different tastes in music i guess.
