"Earth Mother Harris mixes old and new"
Miriam Longino - Staff
Wednesday, October 25, 2000:


"...
While her beginnings were as a protege of the late
Gram Parsons, she has dabbled in nearly every
incarnation of roots music, from barnyard bluegrass
to rock-influenced country to haunting folk tunes
invoking the ghost of Woody Guthrie and Bruce
Springsteen's Tom Joad.
...
Harris hasn't completely abandoned her past. Perhaps the most poignant
moment of the evening was when she brushed off her famous duet with
Parsons, Boudleaux Bryant's "Love Hurts."
..."

http://www.rockabillyhall.com/EBBryant.html
"...
An Everly Brothers/Bryant revival, "Bye Bye Love - The Everly Brothers Musical," debuts this week at the
Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, home of the original Grand Ole Opry. The song "Bye Bye Love" was written by
the Bryants. So were such Everly hits as "All I Have To Do Is Dream," "Problems," "Bird Dog," "Poor Jenny,"
"Like Strangers" and "Wake Up Little Susie."

Other Bryant compositions include "Love Hurts"

My daughter is part of the crowd watching the video being filmed and enjoying the music. She had an excellent viewing spot on an upper level hotel balcony just across the river.

* * Folksinger spotted on TV * *
Did anyone besides me happen to see Emmylou Harris on NBC News Today this morning ? I was awakened by her beautiful angelic voice
accompanied with soothing acoustics as she
was singing a song off her new released CD
(now don't quote me cuz I had just barely
woken up) but I believe she said,
"Render the Pearl" ?

"Dolly Parton joins Altan"
http://www.ananova.com/entertainment/story/sm_144013.html
"Dolly Parton has linked up with Irish folk supergroup Altan
and bluegrass queen Alison Krauss on her new album Little
Sparrow.
...
"Little Sparrow is a kind of a bridge," says Parton. "After
everybody responded so well to The Grass Is Blue I started
to do a complete album of folk songs and then I thought I'd
bridge it somewhere between.
So I'm doing some bluegrass things that I wrote and some
traditional things.
"Then I wrote a few pieces that lend themselves to an Irish
treatment, still in the old mountain sound. So it's bluegrass,
folk and Irish. I grew up singing that mountain music."
The album also includes a cover of the Cole Porter classic I
Get A Kick Out Of You."

"It Takes a Global Village"
http://www.metroactive.com/
"...
Chao, whose father, Ramon, is in fact a
famous antifascist expatriate writer on the
French paper Le Monde, clearly envisions
himself as a sort of Latino Woody Guthrie.

The title cut, for example, which is about the
persecution of illegal African immigrants in
southern Spain, is modeled on the Guthrie
song "Deportee." "Desaparacido" is about
"The Disappeared," or missing political
prisoners of Chile. And "Welcome to Tijuana,"
which switches imperceptibly back and forth
between English and Spanish, is about the
sinister mess of trouble waiting for Hispanics
on the border.
