Emmylou Harris focuses more intently on her country ancestry with this 1979 record, tackling songs made famous by Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, and the Louvin Brothers. However, the most rewarding cuts are the lesser-known gems: Willie Nelson's rollicking "Sister's Coming Home" (with Tanya Tucker), Dallas Frazier's aching ballad "Beneath Still Waters" (which hit No. 1 in the US for Harris), and Jean Ritchie's moving folk song "Sorrow in the Wind". Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt help out on "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues", while Lincoln Davis's accordion beefs up the Flatt & Scruggs classic "Rough and Rocky". This record signals the end of her classic country-rock period. She would unplug completely for 1980's superb Roses in the Snow before breaking up with producer-husband Brian Ahern and pointing herself in new directions. --Marc Greilsamer
