I was at this Emmylou Harris performance, which took place on September 9, 2007, at (the now closed) restaurant/venue called The Derby on Hillhurst Ave in Los Feliz, in the L.A. area; this was for a taping of a BBC4 special to-be-called "The Ten Commandments Of Country." Pretty special night to be in that crowd with many friends from work.
Been on Raton in all kinds of weather, day and night! Wind rain snow sunshine and full moon nights... Emmylou- a woman to die for, and thankfully, she's by far not the only one!
I just can't believe someone doesn't like Emmilou's voice, she is an angel, favorite with Joni Mitchell, girl singers are hard for me to like, but Emmi cuts it.. she's a songbird
Such vulgarity and hatred. Do you listen to any actual country music (as opposed to what passes for country music today), where many of the themes are spiritual, specifically Christian? That is its origin - the churches and Christian spiritual tradition of the time. So instead of such vulgarity, why not educate yourself on the history, as well as on how to properly write and punctuate sentences? (But I'm sure all I'll get in return is more filthy talk and hatred.)
What a wonderful version of this beloved song. Her voice is angel-like. ❤
an amazing arrangement of a quintessential Townes tune and a heck of an opener

Emmy was lovely as a young woman; she is lovelier as a mature woman. Bless her.
Townes is the Moses of Country Music!!
emmy lou harris was born to sing songs by Townes van zandt. She really captures the saddness and longing in them.
Emmylou is the greatest. I hope someday I can see her perform live.
I see angels every time I hear her voice
My hometown, Beautiful Raton NM
I've driven Raton in the snow a lot, coming home from Amarillo to visit mom at Christmas in Pueblo.
Been through lots of times in all kinds of weather.
as Mark Knopfler said, "When Emmylou Harris sings a song, it stays sung."
Good not be said better, perfect

this is wonderful ...
greetings from IRELAND 😉
Kerry Evans check out the original from the legendary Townes Van Zandt...unbelievalble...
Just found this, and Lord, so good to see Mike Auldridge and Tom Gray playing with Emmy Lou. I miss Mike's dobro daily.
I just can't believe someone doesn't like Emmilou's voice, she is an angel, favorite with Joni Mitchell, girl singers are hard for me to like, but Emmi cuts it.. she's a songbird
She has the sweetest voice in all of music
Thankyou.. beautiful.
First time I heard this song....she graced my time.
God what I would give to be there! thanks.
Beautiful!
Simply great!
Gram put the sadness in her voice so that she could sing the high lonesome like no other.
Keith Little was substituting for Jimmy Gaudreau, who couldn't make the trip
RIP Mike Auldridge (last December)
Yes,for ever.
Thanks for sharing
When songs are sung better, Emmy Lou will sing them
So beautiful, thank you! I'd never heard this song until today!
Great. Tks for answering. I guess you are right.
For all you fans who insist on calling her Emmy and Emmy Lou. Her name is Emmylou. One word. Her middle name isn't Lou. A pet peeve of mine...lol.
Emmy is a nickname
What parkejo said!!! Solid truth.
Loving the guy performing in sweatpants and sneakers
Townes could write a song…
It is EmmyLou.
her nane,to clear this up,is miss emmylou
🥺🥰
The only thing wrong with this cover is that it ends too soon!
I might make a mistake by I think Blaze Foley was the one that wrote this one. Townes is one of my heroes, and he has recorded it, but ...
Google says TVZ write it
Wrote
Love Blaze but TVZ wrote this.
Townes wrote it you can find him singing it with Blaze on YT most beautiful version ever to me.
@@gscottmorgan9291I think Townes lived in Raton Co for awhile
goto Raton take a right going west and you hit Cimmeron up to Eagles Nest take a left and go to Angelfire,NM
Nobody can hear you when you are shouting. Sorry, but using all caps is my pet peeve.
