Emmylou Harris - How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower

[deboz65]

This Lady has the most beautiful voice. 

[jigln]

simply Wonderfull

[wsidechris]

Emmylou and the McGarrigle sisters wrote this gorgeous tribute to Sara & AP Carter. It sounds like it's been around for 100 years. Hard to believe it's a new song. Perfection.

[bibs5]

Emmy, if you're listening. quit ruining all your songs with your whispering notes. You didn't use to do it so much. You can't get thru one line without giving a whispering note. I hate it.

[maxonrecords]

Went to see emmylou live recently in Manchester, she is amazing, best female singer for many years, hope to see her again.

[leofarnley]

Took you up on Sissel totally effortless what a voice !

[jubjub2112]

Can someone please upload the song "She" . . . I think it was on Roses in the Snow . . . or on Luxury Liner . . . it is a perfect song . . . really want to hear it again . . . but I can't find it anywhere!

[kiwialan41]

The song is about Sara Carter (June's aunt) and Sara's husband AP Carter.

Emmy's trribute to June was on a previous album.

[MisterFu22]

@kiwialan41 Just been listening to some cash and randomly heard 'Pick the Wildwood Flower ft. Mother Maybelle Carter' so I looked for Sara Carter on wikiP and found a refferance to this song and how beautiful this song is. It make me wonder why we get so much garbage these days.

[50choices]

Ill tell ya, Junes' mother could sing the song wonderfully too.

[hareball]

The voice of an angel.

[cwg47]

She has the voice of a angel.

[beannaichte123]

-Emmylou Harris-One of the most unique voices, in the business...

[1757jojo]

magnifique artiste que je voudrais revoir en FRANCE

[gltmeredith]

Emmy always lovely to have you here.

[LRooster4Prez]

she gets better with age

[heinzi321]

she the best

[yzetta]

She has one of the most beautiful voices on this earth.

[Lorengau]

"There are many singers. But, just a few are chosen, to tear your heart out when they sing." Gibson guitar, long hair, skirt, and boots with unforgetable uniqueness in performance. Pretty good lookin' too.

[curbshoppin]

When I think of the entertainers that are keeping real country music alive it is Emmy Lou then Marty stuart and a host of others ........you will not find there music on the radio but you can find it on youtube if you look!! and you can buy there cd's if you look hard enough...... it can not get anybetter than this

[MonsterDeux]

this is a tribute to Sara Carter/AP Carter - not June Carter Cash or Mother Maybelle.

[GLG47]

I hope the day never comes when I listen to this without getting goose bumps and an exquisite chill down my spine.

[patman4980]

I would walk through hell in a gasoline suit to hear this lady play. God had a real good day when he decided that we needed to hear this voice!

[tangogirl100]

Beautiful song & sung by the most talented woman in the music world. I never miss her concerts when she comes to SLC, Utah - she is one of a kind.

[Bassist10288]

Still just as beautiful sounding and looking as ever.

[myrjer]

She and her singing makes my heart ache. I'll always be in love with her.

[campbellhen]

Co-written with Kate & Anna McGarrigle

[hardereen]

She is even better now

[coolsweetgroovy]

how gorgeous is she?

[crosseydlobster]

this old broad is plastified

[hwoods01]

Sucks.

[54SV]

@hwoods01 when did you break out of the asylum? - this is the best live performance ever - by one of the best singers ever

[NZCountryMusic]

A lovely song, and sung so well by a the truest of stars. Thank you Emmylou - from NZ CountryMusic

[garyguitar01]

Emmy Lou.........One of the sexiest women alive. she gets better looking as she gets older. Amazing.

[Rikki0]

You know, I never really thought Emmylou was very pretty. But there was always something that was so attractive about her that I would have married her in a heartbeat given the chance.

[littlejackbubba]

@Rikki0

Buddy Miller deserves a lot of credit for the guitar backup to this. It frames the voice and melody perfectly.

[jaqmart]

@littlejackbubba

Definitely - beautiful backing by Buddy Miller - good harmonies too.

[BaronVK1]

There truly is only one Emmylou. I never tire of hearing her voice. Thanks for posting such a beautiful song.

[SlideHound]

this old broad is still foxy

[USASalim]

She can sing the fucking phone book, she would make it melodious. Damn what a voice

[headedhome]

I love every thing about Emmylou Harris,In my opinion the best,voice beauty.She has it all

[ncbloom]

damn country music fans dont know shit about their history. All i had to do was see the title of this song to know it was about maybelle carter. And I'm a dancehall dj. ha ha ha. ya'll need to go to the library instead of watching " behind the music". find out about the carters. ( and i aint talking bout june )

[WOODYSKYM]

Emmylou Is Beautiful. I Love Her Voice.

[silentpimpsmak]

R.I.P mother maybelle we all love you. Beautiful song Emmylou

[tunefultony]

The voice of an angel.......absolutely breathtaking.

[zellerauer1]

great, great, great!!!

[stratking69er]

Yeah, but can George Clooney sing? He was miming in "Oh Brother". I suppose I should say that I was only joking about the wife. I like to imagine though !!

[McTomaso]

Emmy's been my superstar since 1976....

[stratking69er]

so beautiful. I've loved Emmylou since the very earliest records and she still sure has got it. I wish I could swap her for my wife !!

[beingshar]

@stratking69er ,,,and I too wish I could swap my guy for the soul and heart of Willie Nelson and the grin of George Clooney

[HenryChinaski405]

But what about the grin of GEORGE JONES? ahahahahah

[aussivern]

A very sad but true song about two of the very greats and sung by an angel- absolutely brilliant!

[redfacedpresident2]

Is this about Johnny Cash and June Carter? Just Thinking. Wildwood Flower. Carter Family. She can't have been an orphan though...

[Jestak]

@redfacedpresident2 It is about Sara and A. P. Carter

[mrcjk123]

Immense.

[HenryChinaski405]

These little girls that are in music today, the Brit Spears and the like...they could learn alot about CLASS, GRACE, BEAUTY, STYLE and TALENT from a lady like Emmy Lou. Of course, when Emmy was "coming up", she had so much incredible talent around her. These little girls today have ZERO talent around them. Nobody to mentor them, 20 years from now we'll have forgotten them, but Emmy Lou is timeless.

[beingshar]

@HenryChinaski405 I concur!

[snid48]

BEAUTIFULL

[UNDIALAVEZ1]

viva country music , the best for a dream in the night without the moon !!!!!!!!!!

[XOkie]

The voice of an angel. I love Emmylou.

[beingshar]

Does anyone know of the song 'She' - it's off Emmylou's LUXURY LINER album ( and it was an 'album' when I used to listen to it :-) ... I can't seem to find it on UTUBE. - Sharlyn M.

[ItsudemoAibon]

That's actually a Gram Parsons song. I bought that Luxury Liner album back in the late seventies right after it came out. Great album!

BTW, is that Buddy Miller playing with her in this?

[beingshar]

@ItsudemoAibon dude ! It's not the song you're thinking of...but thank you!  - Shar

[beingshar]

@ItsudemoAibon It;s more slow and sweet like "Sheeeeeeeeeeee never knew what her life was to give her...but she sure could sing..." Maybe it just sounds different on Luxury Liner...which I too had at one time..and will again - thanks! Shar

[mrnutural]

For all you folks who "don't know her" , - listen to Neil ( Young ) & Emmylou. Just search for "Long May You Run" and go from there...

[russ12345678]

omg is it jiss me or is her face not even movine lmao!! botox?

[cjwright79]

Silly, Emmylou is far too authentic to ever get botox. She's an older lady, give her a break!

[halbie71]

Emmylou=The real thing!!!

[headedhome]

What a tribute,Thank You

[moosekiller2004]

Timeless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[cndilkr]

great singer and a beautiful woman also

[ttr2896]

you will notice many singers have to strain to sound good-- harris is effortless-- this is called natural talent

[swiftinlove22]

like taylor swift

[klingchad]

Emmylou could shit and the sound that it made when it hit the toilet would be better than Taylor Swift. Believe me, in 5 years, miss swift will be an actress, a stripper, or forgotten. Hopefully all three; as it would be great for country music to not have her in it.

[fifthworld]

Don't even know her.

[WillInNewHaven]

TS is a kid who writes and sings songs for other kids. She isn't doing any harm and grownups don't have to listen to her.

[islandguy911]

@ttr2896 as Gram Parson said after finding her in a interview. she's beautiful and oh how right he was!! emmylou loved him so and I believe he loved her just as much.

[mariesadler]

@ttr2896 That is so true! Her effortless perfect pitch, strong and clear. Very few have this, but a woman who comes to mind who also has this singing gift (but sings classical music) is named Sissel. look her up on youtube singing "Shenendoah"

She also sang the begining tune to the movie Titanic.

[gervaise53]

@ttr2896

Bonjour Emmylou a tout pour elle le talent la voix sublime et c'est une très jolie femme avec beaucoup de charme et de classe...

Son talent est mérité sa voix est magnifique THE VOICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[madeofsteel3]

maybe cause she likes the 6/4 streetcar.

[dasgellendehorn]

loved her when i was young

love her now i'm old.

when will i ever stop loving her?

[Danisholic]

The real problem my dear is that those who love Emmylou Harris not only love her but ARE IN LOVE WITH HER and this kind of love neve ends

[swiftinlove22]

its impossible

[homemqueviveu2x]

Couldn't be a lovelier tribute to June Carter and Johnny Cash... Emmylou Harris is out of this world.

[fishheadsaid]

@homemqueviveu2x It's a tribute to Sara Carter wife of AP Carter, June Carter's uncle.

[ncbloom]

@homemqueviveu2x I seriously hope you are joking ??? this song is not about june carter.

[GLG47]

@homemqueviveu2x Couldn't be a lovelier tribute to June Carter's mother. The song is about Mother Maybelle Carter. And, yes, Emmylou has no equal.

[rainbowcloud100]

@homemqueviveu2x She has a good voice but compedetiv to the song from the Carters is here voice thin.

[HashMaroon]

@homemqueviveu2x like someone else said, this isn't actually a tribute to June and Johnny. June wasn't an "orphan girl", for one thing!

[edweirdk]

You couldn't ask for a better side musician than Buddy Miller. Emmylou's music is timeless.

[ncbloom]

do ya'll " fans " even know what this song is about? i'm not an emmy lou fan , never heard this song before , never will listen to it again. It's awesome. sarah , AP and maybelle are the major foundation of all southern white music. country music fans, i know your history better than you do. well i guess hank snow and kitty well are aaiight

[fuzzynormal]

Yeah, but you can't expect casual country music fans to know much about anything. That might be harsh, but it's pretty darn accurate.

And yes, Emmy Lou is hot.

[EricLaughingWillow]

Emmylou is better than ever. Like a delicious aged wine. Can't wait for that special moment when I see (and hear) her again in October TWICE!

[om92555]

I just got goose bumps listening to this. I love Emmylou Harris.

[FAUSTORICCARDO]

Thanks "keaton".

She is my Muse from some years. Sings like Goddess. This I feel.

[RMvidal1]

SUPER Emmylou!!!

[NokomisWaymore]

I've always loved Emmylou. She's got such a pure voice and damn, she's beautiful. Great writer, too.

[tinylittlewings]

this reminds me of

Dolly Parton - Wildflowers

[14071902]

Very natural,pure country,beautiful

simple,voice and playing,just the best.

[hunterv41]

Emmylou ages beautifully. Better-looking now than she ever was.

[nomadak47]

My Lord!!

[coolanddark]

Beautiful song!! Thanks Nancy for sending!!

[reliablebow]

Yes, a Great song...all he had left of her...

[reliablebow]

Classy...timeless...beauty...t­he consumate pro...

[nllleonard]

But what a song....

[robinhood48]

What a wonderful woman.

[tontokurt]

Touching,

[SCRWOOD]

SHE IS JUST FANTASTIC

[apostleds]

Well done.

Brother Don

[drgemini24]

Ah, such a sad song. I remember reading about how she'd written this after her and a friend had watched a docu about the Carter Family. Generally, Sara gets played the villain in the piece, but this also, while questioning how she could sing songs like Wildwood Flower with honesty, plays her side too... A.P. was gone for days and days, hunting down old songs, and she had to turn to the guy who was there more... his cousin.

This is a very well written song and reaches deep down. Kudos to Emmylou

[thecarters28]

maybelle and sara would be proud :)

[jpbrussels]

Good fame of Carters family

[jpools12]

I shed a tear hearing this song...she is beautiful...

[ojacktar]

How would she know we all cling to one love that past/gone; it's like her heart sees inside my heart and knows. Uffff!

I would love to hear the stories; I know there are many. What a gift she has; at the same time, I think she carries many sorrows; I'm glad she has many friends; wish I was one.

thank you for the song.

bobh

[naturalizedtexan]

Gram Parsons was the most blessed man on the earth to have the love of Emmylou. He was also the greatest dunbass in history to have wasted it. Ah, the stupitidy of youth. I just wish God had been good enough to meto have let me know her.

[BigRiverOne]

Emmylou's crystal clear voice and interpretation of any song is tremendous - she also has something guys would understand better than gals . . .

[SirLeeOldgit]

Emmylou Harris brings tears to my eyes - so glad she didn't go with Gram when he went, though surely she would have thought about it. She has brought so much pleasure to blokes like me.

[jaqmart]

it's true - guys seem to get the pathos more than women - gut wrenching.

[KAISERKRAUT]

Thats good shit,Thats good shit, Man.

I love you Emmylou!

[COWELLGIRL]

Awesome!!!!

[Shells969]

Thank goodness for youtube...until now it hasn't been easy to get hold of some songs and some artists her to listen too here in Oz.

[hotdamnbatman]

emmylou is my hero. i saw her at the opry last night singing this song...amazing.

[donpedrossy]

Great posting,tnx from the netherlands.

[savasjazz]

The real beauty of song...

[Gplusrdsquared]

She doesn't get any worse. Very nice.

[Yesica1993]

And oh, yay! Buddy Miller!

[Yesica1993]

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! I just bought the new album and am in love with it, and this song especially!

[alderbaran1]

Oh my.

[jaqmart]

Emmylou Harris was sent on earth to sing the saddest songs - 2.19 to 2.30 is pure anguish.

[NijenK99]

this is my favorite Emmylou Harris song.

[kiwialan41]

The song is about Sara Carter and her husband AP Carter (June's aunt and uncle).

[carzig]

that´s my music

[Derek1154]

Lovely song co written with Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle about the love between Johnny Cash and his wife June Carter

[dtakes]

Another great performance

[classof80extant]

What an incredible performance. The layers crafted into the song; of course, the voice, always the voice, more beautiful still.
