The lovely Emmylou Harris tells about her first tour band and plays a Rodney Crowell tune 'Til I Can Gain Control Again' with my friend, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitar player James Burton.
Well Emmylou said pretty much, because sh had her first band named " The Angel Band" she used that one for about a year, and made a album called " Pieces of the Sky" wic included JAmes Burton........ She added some new musicans as well as James and they where now " THe Hot Band" she used them form 1975-1989..... James Burton was orginally from Elvis`s band, but Elvis was having a break in touring. So Emmylou got him..... JAmes also played on Gram Parsons recordings.
my parents went to see this chick in concert not too long ago. i had no idea she ever played with james burton! that's so cool. i would give anything to go back in time and see ricky nelson in concert. you'd have to call security to keep me off the stage! lol ♥
WoW! What a special treat! To see James and Emmy play together again after all these years! And 30+ years later the song is still in my top 5 all-time favorite Emmylou songs. Thanks.
Thanks so much for posting. Emmylou's recording of this on her Elite Hotel album is my all time favourite track by anyone, bar none. She vary rarely features it in live performances these days which makes this special.

The ability to put so much emotion into so few notes shows why James Burton is the greatest lead guitarist of all time.
