For years, she was just a name.
Then, within the last few years, I discovered just how important she is. And hot! I first started to seriously consider her songs when I was in a The Band kick. Evangeline.
YouTube link
In this song, she is "just another" act in The Last Waltz. In the Hot Band. Tulsa Queen.
YouTube link She did many versions of Hello Stranger, the A P Carter song. This is my favorite.
YouTube link
This her next band. The Nash Ramblers. She always attracted the best musicians in her band. Sam Bush. John Randall. Jerry Douglas. Mark O'Connor. Etc. Not the Bruce Springsteen song, but a different one. Born to Run.
YouTube link She wrote Red Dirt Girl. I tear up whenever I hear it. Mark Knopfler?
YouTube link And of course Pancho and Lefty. Willie famously said that there were two kinds of men. Those in love with Emmylou and those who haven't met her yet. Willie and Merle recorded it when Willie's daughter let him hear Emmylou's version with the Hit Band. Townes van Zandt.
YouTube link PLEASE. Suggest more! I want to hear more. Tulsa Queen! Jambalaya!
As Marty Stuart said, "Sparks flew off her!" A twofer. Cash on the Barrelhead, and I'll be Your San Antone Rose.

This is The Miniatures Page. What scale is this person? What wargames did she inspire? |

Wayfaring Stranger
YouTube link Historical reference for the song from wikipedia During and for several years after the American Civil War, the lyrics were known as the Libby Prison Hymn.[4] This was because the words had been inscribed by a dying Union soldier incarcerated in Libby Prison, a notorious Confederate prison in Richmond, Virginia. It had been believed that the dying soldier had authored the song to comfort a disabled soldier, but since it had been published several years before the Civil War had started (and before Libby Prison existed), this was not the case. |

This is The Miniatures Page. What scale is this person? What wargames did she inspire? Now that that's out of the way  , there's Boulder to Birmingham, written after Gram Parsons, her mentor, died. YouTube linkAnd in response, I'll just say that I once played in a game VERY loosely based on Pancho and Lefty. I think I was Merle, but I'm not sure. Maybe I was Waylon.
In my opinion, there is no question that Lefty betrayed Pancho, and was condemned to live a long life pondering that betrayal. |

Her collaborations with Mark Knopfler are superb! This is one of my favs: YouTube link |

Yes. Emmylou did play well with others. |
