  • I have just found this dvd for sale in the U.K. in an internet shop but cannot find the track listing.Could you please tell me what tracks Emmylou performs on.

    Thank you

  • Google WHIRLIEDVD2 and click one of the musicinscotland links - there's full track/performer listings.

    HTH.

  • Not that it matters, but Russ Barenberg is actually playing the mandolin

  • Oops. Thanks for pointing out my slip.

  • Did Gaughan write this song?

  • dick  gaughan forever!!!!

  • She's not taking possession of the song because she's there to sing harmony and she knows how to do it...better than anybody. She has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard, an angel in heaven.

  • Emmylou, I love you !

  • Fan-fecking-tastic!!!!

  • @psalmer54 It's from the Transatlantic Session series and basically the musicians turn up and just go over song two or three times before making the recordings. There's no real proper rehearsal. So yes I supect you are right in that she probably just doesn't know it that well.

  • Emmylou isn't struggling with the song because it doesn't suit her, she just doesn't know it well enough, or at least this version. Her rhythm is a little off and that's all it takes to distract.

  • @gaspode18 I think people have suggested Hogg may have written it but there is no evidence that he actually did. As far as I know the words are by that prolific Mr Anon :-)

  • @gaspode18 I heartily agree!

  • @Cruitheach The Ettrick Shepherd? I'm not surprised. It had to be either him or Burns - nobody else could write it, really. It's a lovely verse.

  • It's believed to have been written by James Hogg

  • @xanthine123 Oh, lighten up. Dick's only human. I'm sure the thought crossed his mind. Chasing the world's most beautiful woman around the studio while Jerry Douglas plays the Benny Hill theme on the dobro is hardly jobby talk. It's a perfectly normal thing to think about.

  • @ianthecook jobby talk
