Lanois & Harris - Shenandoah

http://www.squidoo.com/daniel-lanois-songwriter
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Oh, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, we bound away, cross the wide Missouri

Oh, Shenandoah, I am your daughter,
Oh, you rolling river
Forever more, you faithful daughter
Away, my heart's away, cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Oh, you're all in rhythm
Oh, Shenandoah, my love waits for me
Away, he's bound away, cross the wide Missouri.

This is such a stunning cover of the great song Shenandoah sung by Emmylou and Daniel - The Wrecking Ball is one of my favorite albums of all time and the two of these great artists left a great gift to us.

Gorgeous.

Agreed, Emmylou Harris is a treasure. A "national" treasure, I would amend, on the grounds that the art she's created transcends political boundaries and touches the feelings of listeners the world over. Rather, I say that she is a Human Treasure, an unfading source of light in an increasingly dark world.

Her voice melts my heart, often reducing me to tears - and I'm a hardcore headbanger. (Zeppelin, Zeke, Iron Maiden, Ozzy.. These are a few of my staples.)

Huge respect to Daniel Lanois also.

Emmylou is a national treasure. Lanois as always is great.

Beautiful emotion in her voice. My favorite version of this song.

[peppeantonelli]

un ottimoesempio di come Daniel e Emmylou insieme riescono ad esprimerre il meglio di loro regalandoci bellissime emozioni.

[SOUTHERNMAN45]

just not the level i would expect from either of them. her voice needs rest and he does not add anything that contributes to make the song better.

I agree. It just falls flat. Voice sound tortured rather than lovely.

Bad mix with the lead guitar. Sounds like Lanois barely knows the piece.

His playing adds nothing.

[astrelita]

So, this song isn't on a CD of his or hers? Just that little snippet on Slingblade?  Anybody know?

[garbeaj]

Did Emmylou ever release this version with lyrics? The only one I have found is the brief and haunting clip from the Slingblade soundtrack...

[Chastalard]

Hello, just played this again...and chills...so beautiful...Emmy is a goddess.

[curiousgeorge555]

Such a pure voice.
