Her 18th album and somewhat of a comeback considering the previous Wrecking Ball never even made the country chart. This one made it to #5 and I
don't even hear anything country on it. Even though this is a different producer, this is a carry over of the Daniel Lanois sound that she
picked up with Wrecking Ball, which is actually a U2 sound to me. And it doesn't fit Emmylou at all. Still a beautiful voice but the music is
just so foreign to her customary style. Heavy on the bass and nothing country. Oh well, it got her a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album and
I don't hear much folk either. In fact for me this is alternative. Only thing I love is the duet with Dave Matthews and I don't even care for
Dave Matthews. We also get some harmony vocals from the Boss on Tragedy. The album is also a departure for Emmylou in that she wrote most of the
tracks. I have always wondered when they say a song is written by someone, does that mean they wrote both the music and the lyrics? If not, it
should say so. I find the music part hard to believe for some solo artists.
