19042014 - Emmylou Harris "White Shoes"

Do I really need to write anything about this album? It's Emmylou Harris, so you know it's good. Her voice on this 1984 album is as angelic as ever, and on some of the tunes she's rocking it up as well. This includes a totally rearranged version of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" and a song titled "It's Only Rock And Roll", which is not the Rolling Stones ditty. Her ballads are still where she really shines, and there are some moments here that will even give your goosebumps goosebumps, such as album closer "Like an Old Fashioned Waltz". And if anybody can pull off doing a tender country version of Donna Summer's "On the Radio", it's Emmylou!
