Notes on Notes
The best radio station in the Philadelphia area, 88.5 WXPN, has been transmitting a delightful amount of Emmylou Harris tunes to our car stereo the last couple of days. First, yesterday the wiffle and I caught a chunk of a live Emmylou performance (with [I think] Buddy Miller accompanying her) on the 'Mountain Stage' program, and then today on the 'World Cafe Live' program they had Emmylou and Mark Knopfler in studio to interview and play some songs from their lately-released album of duets. They sounded really good. It's especially nice to hear those two play together because it is my opinion that Knopfler has one of the best guitar sounds and styles around and Emmylou has one of the best voices around. Of the songs I've heard from their new album All the Roadrunning, 'This Is Us', 'Beachcombing', and the title track stand out in my mind.
Also, tomorrow...new Dylan album! Nice.
