she's one of the most transcendent singers I've ever heard--and I don't even like country music. But she made me love it.
A couple videos:
Pancho and Lefty (1977):
The Boxer (1993):
How She Could Sing the Wildwood Flower (2008):

(10,440 posts)She saw it all and was the center of most of it. One amazing woman.
The highlight of my year is the Sound Check at hardly Strictly Bluegrass in SF. I get real close and she is so cool. One year I even flirted with her when she was checking out another band. Didn't know it was her at first but then I was talking to her she turned to me and I was dumbfounded.........so cool.
She was pretty amazing a moth ago for Warren Hellman's memorial in SF with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. Here is that show, skip ahead to the last part and check it out. She is till the most amazing person. http://www.warrenhellman.org/warren/stream.shtml
Big love to EmmyLou.

Gram's wife said "no."
The shot...minus Emmylou...finally got used on "The Gram Parsons Anthology"...
