On her third Nonesuch record, Emmylou Harris assembles an extraordinary cast of veteran musicians and fellow singers, all of them longtime friends, for a set that indeed showcases this Nashville icon and 2008 CMA Hall of Fame inductee as all she has intended to be, a singularly expressive vocalist, a brilliant interpreter of other people's songs and a graceful and confident songwriter. In particular, the album displays Harris' ability to bring new life to songs that may have been overlooked, forgotten or lost along the way.
