Album review
For all country enthusiasts, 1973 left a permanent and deep scar, with the death of Gram Parsons. Emmylou Harris lost a friend, a mentor, an inspiration and the person with whom she shared her life. Twelve years later, she released the flagship album of her career, and one of her favourites, The Ballad Of Sally Rose, that is now being reedited in a double-disc special edition, with one of them featuring ten demos. Among these, a legendary version of The Sweetheart Of The Rodeo and White Line. This album is even more surprising as it is one of the rare that was written or co-written in its entirety by Emmylou. Sally Rose, that’s her! Her stage name on tour, to be exact. The main inspiration obviously remains her relationship with Gram Parsons. She strolls between fictitious and genuine memories, her love for the stage and of course her pronounced taste for American music. In Diamond In My Crown, or Heart To Heart, the pinnacle of all ballads, her angelic voice shines through, just like her ability to combine lyricism and acoustic guitar. We’re left wondering if she can in fact communicate with the afterlife. And then the rhythm picks up, unsurprisingly followed by a rocking country. On Rhythm Guitar, she is accompanied on the guitar by Waylon Jennings, and her long-time collaborators Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt on vocals. The atmosphere is all of a sudden much more eighties. And the ease, with which Emmylou Harris is able to dive into her intense and deep singing to emerge with beautiful bass on a fully assumed country music, makes us want to wear boots and go to a Grand Ole Opry concert! © Clara Bismuth/Qobuz
