Product Information
Includes interviews with Emmylou Harris and The Nash Ramblers.Among Emmylou Harris' many, many extraordinary gifts has always been her genuine enthusiasm for promoting the talents of others. Whether in her selection of material to sing or musicians to perform alongside her, Harris is unfailingly generous in spotlighting those who create the music she loves. This quality is abundantly evident on AT THE RYMAN, the 1992 live album Harris recorded at country's legendary landmark, the onetime home of the Grand Old Opry. Harris used the concert to pay tribute to country music history's many strands and also to showcase the extraordinary musicianship of her backing band, the Nash Ramblers.The generous set reaches back to the 19th Century for Stephen Foster's "Hard Times," and also touches on cowboy songs ("Cattle Call," "Montana Cowgirl"), honky tonk ("Half As Much"), gospel ("Get Up, John"), bluegrass ("Walls of Time"), and modern traditionalism ("Guitar Town"). Harris also manages to nod toward rock (Bruce Springsteen's "Mansion on the Hill," John Fogerty's "Lodi") without breaking stride. Throughout, band members Sam Bush, Jon Randall Stewart, Al Perkins, Larry Atamanuik, and Roy Huskey Jr. provide seamless, effortlessly virtuosic support. A great album from modern country's greatest artist.Product Identifiers
