Are you people serious? The song was clearly performed at a coporate gathering, thus the lack of audience (& possibly the the bands) appreciation (enthusiasm). But hey, Emmylou and Buddy still make an awsome team!
She's a great sort especially after all the years, great support including Buddy, great song, but she just doesn't deliver it with any conviction. Red Dit Girl was superb but this was obviously some kind of corporate gig!
I love Emmylou Harris. She's one of the few artists whose cover version I think really add something to the songs. But this just isn't very good, even when you don't compare it to the original.
This song, along with Peter Himmelman's "245 Days," and The Connels "74 75" are the top 3 underrated Songs of all-time....So sad that they don't get their proper credit...
Patty G. wrote it and it might be a tad better.. but I love both versions.. great tune I think Daniel Lanois helped Emiy Lou out on her version.. thanks for this great live video.. everybodys gone to the movies....
I can't find it online anywhere! Fortunately I have an acoustical version of this song from a radio station here in Minneapolis/St Paul which annually has a CD entitled CITIES SAMPLER and the 1998/1999 version has Patty Griffin's ONE BIG LOVE: It is quite beautiful and one of my most treasured posessions.
This has got to be one of the sexiest songs that was ever written (along with Jefferson Starship's "Miracles" and Chris Isasak's "Wicket Game"). And lyrics that conjur some of the most striking imagery ("just wear your shorts and your long hair, don't forget your lawn chair")...I almost feel sand between my toes every time I hear that.
" One Big Love " from " RED DIRT GIRL " That i love ! : ) ... a Patty Griffin one ! A exeption , because almost allthe album was written by EMMYLOU , first time since
" SALLY ROSE " ( but not the last : ) SPYBOYS are HERE
Go , Buddy , Go !!! Thanks a lot for that post ...
another great cover of this really cool Patty Griffin tune:
