Emmylou Harris & Dwight Yoakam - GoldenRing

[DolphinKarlheinz]

Romance and rockin' Country make an outstanding combination

[carnut476]

SHE SUCKS

[granny8897]

@carnut476 you should be punished for saying such a thing. You can no longer listen to anyone who has, or wishes they had sung with emmylou. Your world would have no music!!!!!

[TheLovelyladylover]

This IS Music!!!!!



[otherworldtrader1]

be glad when dwight make senough money to buy some pants without termites in them

[greygland]

Pete kicks ass....

[nesteggrealty]

love emmy lou and dwight....period miss all the singing on the radio

[Diarmid63]

I love Emmy Lou, I like Dwight, but only George and Tammy can do this song right. This version simply isn't very good. There is no passion, no feeling, and this song needs both.

[bass0111]

@Diarmid63: Exactly! This version doesn't suit the lyrics at all, whereas the George/Tammy version is perfection.

[mariesadler]

There is a reason country music stars have the longest singing careers.

[cashcountry1]

Johnny Cash would be in heaven to hear his two favorite performers together. What am I saying, he's in heaven anyway:-)

[mikepedlar]

Emmylou is exquisite, voice and beauty. Dwight, the ultimate in cool. They combine so well.

[DJMarl]

The studio version rocks! Perfect sync and harmonies

[HawaiianMachinist]

Love this rendition of this old George Jones hit...

[tsyetsq]

I like Dwights spin on it.

[john9944]

I have been listening to Emmy for many years. She is not well in this performance. Even straining and hoarse she is still the very best. The show must go on.

[terrryc]

Great, real, fu@k you Country. Not the watered down corporate crap that Nashville needs to flush if they expect to survive five years from now......

[jamesrfraser1]

If I remember correctly, it's about a wedding ring. They're fantastic!

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

how has she stayed so beautiful no matter how old she gets? good bone structure I guess.

[FireYourJOB]

@TheBabyboomkidof53

Being well to do helps........Eating write is also a key to staying young.........

[fredcdobbs1947]

dwight was playing himself in 'slingblade'

[V10muscle]

Well she didnt have a clue he made her look stupid and carried the whole performance

[loadi2]

you took a classic and fu-ked it up?

[sarabarden]

two of my favorites together

[kmill61]

damn, she still goodlooking!!!

[cyasares]

Great and i'm the fool but do I hear, "LONG BLACK VEIL (TRADITIONAL) G TEN YEARS AGO ON A COLD DARK NIGHT D D7 C G THERE WAS SOMEONE SHOT 'NEATH THE TOWN HALL LIGHT G FEW WERE AT THE SCENE BUT THEY ALL AGREE D D7 C G THAT THE MAN DID THE SHOOTING LOOKED A LOT LIKE ME"

[Free1108]

@cyasares No...Good ear! I hear it too. I knew I was hearing something that sounded familiar and not familiar like Golden Ring...and you got it. Thanks!

[sandwindy]

to jamesojld, well you obviously don't know dwight, and that my friend, means you know JACK ****! ;)

[jamesojld]

Dwight you ain't George Jones and Emmylou aint no Tammy Wynette.

Stick to Fast as you and Streets of Bakersfield Dwight..

[sandwindy]

@jamesojld  well you obviously don't know dwight, and that my friend, means you know JACK ****! ;) (with all due respect ;) )

[JasonKT]

@jamesojld what a stupid comment. Emmylou is in my opinion the greatest female country singer ever and only Johnny Cash is ahead of her for me in all areas male and female. She is amazing and to dis her like that is very ignorant and disrespectful. I love tammy too so incase you were going to throw that back in my face. There is a reason Emmylou is so succesful. Ever think why?

[lilnoongiboi]

i think this version is good but can't top Tammy, Emmylou!

[zaaritha]

Very good!

[MrTotning]

NICE:)Dwight is wery goood:)

[zaaritha]

Dwight Yoakam is SO good--and so is Emmylou!

[miladymell]

I love this version. They harmonized beautifully.

[beatlenut53]

she acted like she didn't like him!!

[heydia]

AWSOME.:D

[DYDreamin1]

I think Dwight's version is the right version!:)

[karana808]

i love when dwight does his leg thing at 2:22 it looks like he is trying to drive emmy lou of the stage lol

[xxbartowxx]

Two Number 1 artists. You gotta love em

[victomOFtheLIGHT]

Dwight kicks ass

[6stringdaveyM]

For those you who think your in the know. Go back and listen to Emmylou with Gram Parson. Then tell me about "tempo" Jeepers what the hell are you people talking about.

[FireYourJOB]

I wonder how it'd sound if Emmylou AnD George sang it??

[alan4sure]

And Dwight looking oh so trendy with his carefully formulated hole in one knee, just the way GWG thought would look best...

[fatcat1949]

I like Emmy Lou but this version of a fine song cannot be compared with Tammy and Georges version

[mrbobevans]

Love Emmylou and Dwight, but George and Tammy have the untouchable standard.

[Grifiki]

I loved her in 1974. So why all this hype? What is now, also came before!

[pearloftn]

Would've been better w/o Emmylou.

[lindirig]

I don't believe it, Emmy's moving around. I always thought her shoes were nailed to the floor.

Lindy

[bicycleray]

The original is best, Tammy Wynette made it great; this version.....has no soul, sad

[cowboy6591]

OK account number 2,

3 posts is NOT exeededing youtube cops.

Just want to say I hate rockafied country tunes, the original is sooooo much tastier and sweeter.

OK this beat works for Guitars and Caddilacs but it royaly sucks for "Golden Ring"

2 steppers get over yourselves please.

This song was never meant to be a dance tune. Great artists here but their out of place with this one.

[spadinajack]

I totally agree with you. No one does this song like the original artists, George Jones and Tammy Wynette. I do like both Dwight or Emmylou doing other stuff...

[joebubaus]

Disappointed.....

[telemansparta]

bunch of fools it was great you go and to sing it

[pwizard665]

you compare emmylou to this hick are you nuts.

[FireYourJOB]

They just Don't go together.......

[georgeisupset]

They say rehearsed today, sort of. She isn't used to Dwights style, correct.

How 'bout Pete Anderson! Too bad him & Dwight split up, oh well Dwight can go it alone just fine

[jzamora50]

She's just not used to the tempo Dwight plays is in. She's trying to pretty it up while he's trying to keep in in the lines of outlaw-ish country. If you notice she does not come in and out on time. Next time they'll get it right though.

[DMCoasters]

Emmylou Harris sucks at singing this song.

[mcfleckno]

not sure with what language you responded. ...but i know that i don't understand it!

when this happens, i usually, safely, respond by saying, "you do, & you'll clean it up!!"

[FireYourJOB]

Tammy and George did it best......

[phillmein55]

love both of them

[mcfleckno]

this only shows, as we've all known, dwight is one of the absolute greatest, by having an unbelievable voice, & choosing to form unbelievable creative skills to songs!!!

he is the total package!

it's great to see that he's always followed his own path, which is totally artistically enriching!!!

[MrEddwins]

även om man är måttligt intreserad av denna musik så är det toppen.En fröjd för örat

[brick1e]

emmylou is so established and dwight is so new.....then... but watch her watching the man for direction. Dwight is fantastic and still is.......

[woodscritter]

Maybe she's not "watching the man for direction".

Emmylou is arguably the consummate duet partner, and normally maintains eye contact with her partner(s). Still seems to work for her.

[irelephant]

I absolutely love Emmylou, but over the years I fear her vocal chords have been injured, maybe due to nonstop touring. Her voice was much stronger on songs like "Two More Bottles of Wine" and "Making Believe" from the seventies, and "Duets" and "Trio" albums from the eighties. Her impeccable taste, choices of sidemen, creativity, ability to get to the heart of country music, and then to push its limits have earned her legendary status, but I still prefer her voice on the earlier recordings.

[bluegrassrootstv]

You must not have seen or heard her with Spyboy. Their show on the AVO Sessions in Basel Switzerland is a tour-de-force. That was in 2000. I too felt the way you do for many years, but now that I've seen and heard her more recent work I admire her talent even more. True, she's not like she was in 1977, but then, neither am I...Jack

[irelephant]

Saw her live three times - in 2000 with Buddy Miller, sat in 5th row; in 2001 at Golden Gate Park and in Berkeley with the "Down from the Mountain, Oh Brother" entourage. Her talent and taste are not what I'm questioning. It's the condition of her pipes. She can no longer hit the notes on songs like "Love Hurts" without going lemon-sucking sour. I'm a big fan of Emmylou, in fact I love her, but even Pavarotti knew there is a time limit on being a world-class vocalist.

[bluegrassrootstv]

Whatever. I just prefer to leave positive comments or none at all...

[FireYourJOB]

You write that u prefer her voice on the earlier recordings. Just like Tammy.....her voice seemed to change when she was older......

[loutcb]

pete rules !!!!!!

[HopNPlop]

About 20 years ago (post Hot Band as I recall) EH & DY toured together & it was great. It was my first date with my now wife (who never heard country music before) and after the show it was raining a bit and Emmylou asked us on her bus to sign our program and chatted with us for a few minutes. She ask about our lives, and what we thought of the show and liked that it was our first date. What a nice lady. My now wife never did take to the music, too much but she was impressed I guess.

[jarson69]

Emmylou and Dwight are great, but what do you all think of Pete Anderson on guitar????

[mrbobevans]

Huge fan of Dwight and Emmylou, but the George and Tammy is the Mt. Everest version - can't be topped.

[gramhound86]

nothing tops old george, vocally:)

[landrykkb]

Of course George & Tammy's original is untouchable,but Dwight & Emmylou put their own spin on it as they have many other well-known songs.

[papahet1889]

totally agree if only country music of today is so sad its not country altho there are a few exceptions

[smhknight77]

Love them both,but Emmylou's timing on the song is a little off,just a bit slower than when both her and Dwight sings

[bucktoff2]

This woman does absolutely no wrong...

[walliegirl2]

I am huge fans of Dwight and Emmylou. But nothing can compare to the George and Tammy duet - the Mt. Everest of duets.

[alcina5]

i once literally walked into her,just a few moments before she was due going onstage at a venue in my home town. I was speechless,but managed to ask for her autograph on a CD cover ..lol she was totally nice.

[GuitarGooch]

Love it!

[brianchhangte]

Love country music !!! The world would be so boring( at least for me) without country music and singers like these two !!! For me country songs and a serene country side itself is a medicine !!!

[robinhood48]

So true.

[manelk8]

Emmy = ageless !

[ThorogoodFan1]

I LOVE Dwight, Emmylou is HOT and has amazing talent.

This is amazing!

[aeroshine]

Who doesn't love White Trash Dwight?, Besides, you're sharing the stage with one of the finest ladies that ever graced any entertainment stage, sing along, and Buck the rest!!

[AngeloFumarola]

YEahhhhhhh! I love Emmylou & Dwight together!! And the amazing Pete Anderson has my favourite Telecaster twangy sound! SUPER!!! 5 stars!

[zaaritha]

Very good version!

[tedrmoore3]

it's got a bit of a la but does no tarnish the video or the golden wedding ring cheers from Austin, TX

[superfluppy]

[sjkalsc]

Thanks for sharing. Any song that he sings is great. What a voice!

[franielee38]

Have you ever heard better Bluegrass!!! great!!!

[heydudemancrushpa38]

I love this song but i wouldn't call it bluegrass, it's honky tonk. Believe me i know, my mum is ALWAYS playing bluegrass - bluegraas has banjo and fiddle type stuff in it, there is acoustic bluegrass but this is definately honky tonk. Great song tho!

[Wiggie52]

It does'nt really matter what Dwight sings...itg's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just love the man & his voice!!

[AngeloFumarola]
