My guess is that she's released at least 30 LP's over the last ~30 years. I hope that you have the best of the best, maybe I'll spring for the compilation too. She did one or maybe two records(that dates me) with Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton. The first one, "Trio" is a disappointment, avoid it. The ultra fence kicker, or crying in your beer LP is The Ballad of Sally Rose. Waterworks assured. That's selling the LP short, it's better than just that. I had the casette, but it evaporated over time.
I saw her in San Francisco with The Hot Band. My date's shoulder was touching the center of the stage, I'll never be that close again. She's amazing. Also saw her at the St Michelle winery again with The Hot Band, from a hundred yards. And at Bumbershoot about a dozen years ago. She's one of those performers who's above and beyond human, you pretty much sit there, mouth agape in wonder. Rhino(who'd a thunk that they'd have anything to do with Emmylou) is selling "Songbird" for $59. There are many tracks on it that I've never heard, maybe I'll spring for it after the holiday. Merry Christmas to you and P ~!!
