Emmylou Harris: Red Dirt Girl (2-LP, Colored Vinyl, Ltd.)

(Nonesuch) 12 tracks, colored vinyl (red).

Emmylou Harris' Nonesuch Records debut album, Red Dirt Girl, first released more than twenty years ago in September 2000 and winner of the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album, is now available in limited edition on translucent red vinyl.

Harris - whom the Los Angeles Times called "the most compelling female artist in country music" - wrote all but one of the twelve tracks on Red Dirt Girl, marking only the second time in her career she has been so heavily involved in the composition of an album. "In songs about lonely journeys and lost companions," said The New York Times, "Ms. Harris has found herself."

Red Dirt Girl was produced by Malcolm Burn, who had worked with Harris on the engineering and mixing of her previous solo studio recording, 1995's Wrecking Ball. The album features Burn on piano, guitar and bass, Buddy Miller on lead guitar, Daryl Johnson on bass and drums, and Ethan Johns on drums, guitar and various other instruments. Dave Matthews sings a duet with Harris on the album, and Bruce Springsteen, Patti Scialfa and Patty Griffin also contribute vocals.

In 2000, Harris commented on her new label and record as follows: "I am proud of my new collaboration with Nonesuch, a label for which I have great admiration. Red Dirt Girl is a very meaningful record for me. I've only written this much for an album once before - The Ballad of Sally Rose - and I'm also very pleased with what we accomplished in the studio."

Nonesuch Records President David Bither, then Senior Vice President, said at the time "We have had the privilege of working with some of the most creative and influential artists and producers in music over many years. This kicks off a new realm of musical exploration for Nonesuch, and we are thrilled that Emmylou is the artist to open this door for us. We're honored to be working with an artist who has such a remarkable body of work behind her and who is now making perhaps the best music of her career."

Harris has since released three more solo studio albums on Nonesuch, Stumble into Grace (2003), All I Intended to Be (2008), Hard Bargain (2011); reissues of Wrecking Ball (2014) and her 1992 album with the Nash Ramblers, At the Ryman (2017); two duo albums with Rodney Crowell, the Grammy-winning Old Yellow Moon (2013) and The Traveling Kind (2015); two releases with Marc Knopfler, All the Roadrunning and Real Live Roadrunning (2006); and vinyl box sets of her early albums, 2017 and 2019.

Emmylou Harris, eine Sängerin mit viel Feeling für die Country Music, sammelte ihre ersten Erfahrungen im Showbusiness in den Kaffeehäusern und Bars von New York City. Dort machte sie den Folksong Boom der 60er Jahre mit und spielte eine erste L.P. Für Jubilee, das inzwischen legendäre ,Gliding Bird“ Album, ein. Dann traf Emmylou Harris mit Gram Parsons zusammen, wurde von diesem gefördert spielte ein paar Duett-Platten mit ihm ein und stand nach Parsons' Tod plötzlich über Nacht auf eigenen Füßen. Emmylou Harris bekam einen Plattenvertrag, spielte zunächst noch die alten Parsons Songs und hielt sich an den Country Rock.

Doch von Platte zu Platte brach ihre Liebe zur möglichst unverfälschten Country Music durch. Sie holte die alten Country Standards hervor und machte sie noch einmal zu Hits. Vom Pop-Publikum anerkannt konnte sie es sich leisten, auch Country Music, ja sogar Bluegrass zu spielen. In ihrer Band, der ,Hot Band“, fanden sich talentierte junge Musiker wie Albert Lee, Rodney Crowell und Ricky Skaggs zusammen und entdeckten plötzlich wieder die Schönheit des traditionellen Country Sounds. Insofern hat Emmylou Harris mit den Grundstein gelegt für die neue Generation von jungen Traditionalisten wie Reba McEntire, Dwight Yoakam, George Strait und Steve Earle, die heute in den Charts so erfolgreich sind.
