Emmylou Harris and the Hot Band perform a live version of the Dolly Parton song "Coat of Many Colors" from a show in 1988. I have restored the audio from the original take. Please click like and comment in the respond box, thanks Ally.
It is not a hymn of freedom.It is a song about just what it says,poor people who make do with what they have,make what they need without spending money that they do not have,and being proud to have what they do have,no shame put on them by others.This is what more people everywhere need to be.We have all lost our way in life.Are we really better of today than many years ago?I miss the life I had growing up.I was much happier then than I am today.
Another amazing female voice produced by the USA, wonderful !!! Eddie UK

@kalbarianek That statement shows you have no idea what the song is about. it has not a single thing to do with politics.
