linda ronstadt & dolly parton & emmylou harris after the goldrush

[coachpill]

Linda & Neil first worked together in the early 70's. Neil & Linda met Emmylou the same night. They were in Houston and went to hear Emmylou play. Emmylou had Linda, Dolly and Neil sing harmony on Light of the Stable. Neil sang and played harmonica on Linda & Emmylou's '99 Western Wall. Dolly personally called him to ask him about the meaning of the lyrics, and could she alter a line. If you have personally known Neil since the 70's, have his phone # and his blessing,I don't see the problem.

[JeddorianJalapeno]

And how would this suck the life out of the original meaning ? Emmy Lou has sung enough backup for Neil to be sure to be a close and understanding friend of his and he should be so lucky as to have this song sung by them .Did Linda suck the life out of Love Is A Rose ? Without her that song would never have been heard and hearing Neil sing it is just painful. I love After the Goldrush..It is Neil's finest album and I love it .

[GrantPaice]

Sucks the soul out of the song and it's original meaning...

[ibeliveification]

I love the glass hermonica, it sounds like a Chorus of voices.

[neonlight2000]

Why change the original lyrics? Sing a different song if you are forced to change someone else's art.

[TheTreesand]

@neonlight2000. I agree. This is an ethereal experience - in the scope of the lyric and the angelic sound - "getting high" would be the perfect lyric. To change it is to suck a little soul from the song.

[oldman68able]

absolutly beautiful

[25Crunch]

'I felt like I could cry!' emm... I think you'll find it's ' I felt like getting high' :D

[fworkman1]

Angels ----all three

[DsveysNavy]

...and I felt like I could cry....when I heard them self censor themselves changing the original "and I felt like getting high"...that aside...a lovely version, indeed!

[manyworldfutures]

[Fuschia23]

Not my favorite song, but I love these ladies. Please collaborate on something more awesome!!!!!!

@Fuschia23 They did two full albums of songs -- Trio and Trio II. I'm sure there is a lot you would like there.

[tonymice]

Ronstadt sure did get fat.

[bobwhite51]

There was a band playing in my head

and I felt like getting 'HIGH'"--

If you are going to do a cover of a song, at least have the class, respect, and guts to use the original lyrics.

[glipsnort]

@bobwhite51 Or ask the original artist for permission to change the lyrics, which Parton did.

[profhum]

This was a terrifying song when it came out in 1970, as the Vietnam War went on endless, unstoppable, and Nixon was president, and the country was splitting apart far more than now, even. It became even more popular during Watergate. Lying in a burnt out basement, starting to dream that kindly aliens would come and get us to start over someplace else. It matched an end of the world screenplay that inspired it. Video doesn't bring any of that out.

[LadyCometSoftball]

Dolly has the voice of an angel! <3

[larrygentry]

i remember the neil young version. great song.
