Country is fairly underrepresented on this List. It's not my favorite genre, but it's still strange considering the amount of "essential" heavy metal albums on the List. Surely country music is a little more accessible than metal to the average listener. Anyway, I do like country folk, so I quite enjoyed this.
I was not suitably prepared for how devastating "Bang the Drum Slowly" was going to be, so thank you Emmylou, for that heartbreak. She has a really beautiful voice. I love it when vocalists perform songs they've written. You can really feel that extra connection with the words being sung.
A great album, especially in comparison with what is coming.
RATING: 4/5
