Wrecking Ball is a marvelous record and, fwiw, is the least
country-sounding of any Emmylou's done. It's more a Emmylou-Daniel
Lanois partnership than a true Emmy record, so if you like Lanois'
gauzy, atmospheric production style (late-80s U2, Robbie Robertson,
Chris Whitley, Bob Dylan's last two records), you'll dig it. The song
selection is incredible, including tunes by Julie Miller, Neil Young,
Hendrix, and Steve Earle.
Cheers,
Dave
