After only a few days in Colorado I've come to realise one thing - this is one diverse country. Even within this state the terrain changes dramatically; mountains, cities, lakes, dessert and endless plains. And as the scenery changes so does the music. Blues and rock in its cities to bluegrass and country in the south and everything in between.
But one constant in this musical kaleidoscope has been Emmylou Harris. After nearly thirty years in the music business this album marked a huge departure for Emmylou Harris; after years of recording other people's songs she decided to write an album of her own compositions.
And given the quality of the laid back country-pop songs on 'Red Dirt Girl' one does wonder why she waited so long.
