Emmylou Harris, "Red Dirt Girl"


Category: Music

When I first heard this CD,(released in 2000), on my "big rig" it sounded very good but I liked rather than loved it. Recently, I was restricted to headphones (Sennheiser 600s into SF Line 2 preamp), and when I listened to this CD it suddenly seemed much more dynamic and detailed. IMO this is a great CD, and after picking up the detail from the headphones, it now sounds much better in with my Vand. 3As, but still somewhat more congested compared to the Senn. 600s-- I think it's a room/acoustics thing along with the distinctly "processed" sound of this CD. Any comments on this one? Cheers. Craig.

I agree. Listened to it once and wanted to love it but didn't. Now I'll have to retry with phones (have to see if I can figure an easy way to hook my Stax box and Lamda pro jrs. to my big rig.
I like Red Dirt Girl, but reach for wrecking ball when I need an Emmylou fix.
Anybody else have "Spyboy"? I like this even better than Wrecking Ball. Buddy Miller is fantastic, and the rhythm section is outstanding. I saw this lineup live and it was an excellent show.
