And then there was the time Emmylou Harris did an unlikely collaboration

She's known for her musical collaborations and for her love of all kinds of music, but still this one was a little surprising to me when I found it on YouTube.  I love finding little gems like this from the Goddess of Music!



You might also notice Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins in the band.  I would love to know how this one came about!

And Then There Was the Time That Emmylou Harris Had a Very Unfortunate Hairstyle

Seriously, it looks like a poodle sat on her head!  Thankfully, she was joined by a bunch of other very talented musicians with equally unfortunate 'dos.  Dig Ricky Skaggs' foofy mullet!

What were we thinking in the 80's?

And then there was the time Emmylou Harris sang an Irish folk song with a whole bunch a fabulous people

This really should have been my Saint Patrick's Day post, but I got hung up on the monkeys.  Sorry about that.  Anyway, the combination of Emmylou Harris, Dick Gaughan, The McGarrigle Sisters, and Rufus Wainwright on a classic Irish folk tune like "Wild Mountain Thyme" is pretty potent.  Check it out.



You'll be humming that all day now, I bet.  You can thank me for that later.  There are far, far worse things to have stuck in your head.
