Album: Emmylou Harris, All I Intended to Be (Nonesuch)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Emmylou's Daniel Lanois period is over. She's back in Nashville with Brian Ahern on the other side of the thickened glass, which means that an elegantly chiming country-rock sound replaces the arty false perspectives and cultivated grit of the Lanois vibe.

It's rather lovely, in that mournful, somehow ecstatic mode patented by Harris as long ago as her friendship with Gram Parsons. And if the solemnity is a little insistent, then it is only doing its job, which is to radiate like sepulchral light from a woman who has become a national treasure. Dolly Parton, Vince Gill and the similarly sainted McGarrigle sisters are in the room too.
