Out Here at Emmylou

Wow, she sounds great.

The silver-haired beauty opened up with a track from her new album, All I Intended to Be, followed up by a cover of the classic tune "Orphan Girl," penned by the incomparable Gillian Welch. After a brief intro, and a funny little anecdote about how at the age of 61, her mother still makes her wear a bike helmet when she goes out for a ride, Emmylou surprisingly launched into "Love and Happiness, a track from All the Road Running, her 2006 collaboration with guitar God Mark Knopfler. This is sure to be a special show. For those of you who braved the ominous skies and headed out to the park for tonight's show, chime in tomorrow with your review. I can't wait to get out there and hear more.

Talk soon,

Graham
