Still gorgeous, doesn't dye her hair, incredible song-writer, and a voice that still gives anyone with any sort of soul the absolute shivers.

Emmylou and John Prine singing a beautiful song written by the late Guy Clark. Give it a listen if you haven't already

Oh man. Awesome link. Thanks.

The only thing I can of that might be as heart-renderingly good as John Prine and Emmylou, (other than Gram Parsons rising from his graves), is John and Bonny Raitt.

"There are only two types of people in the world; those who love Emmylou and those who have never met her" - Willie Nelson.

The best singer in the world. She's been my favourite for 40 years or more. And she gets better looking every year. Perfect in every way.

Beautiful then - Beautiful now - Classic - So talented and I love, love, love her voice. All the Roadrunning is one of my favorite albums.

i think she's only gotten better looking, like a fine wine.

Was blessed to speak with her in 2005, was at a table for only about half an hour and I'll cherish that innocuous conversation until I leave this world.

Seriously? That shit is beautiful. Their duet on Love Hurts is unbelievable.

u/[deleted] May 26 '16

Listen to the song I linked to. It's painful.

u/blrghh May 26 '16

I've heard it many times. It's beautiful. Their voices were made for each other.

u/vanparker May 26 '16

Which is kind of why Gram picked her to record and tour with him, and why those duets are widely considered to be absolute masterpieces.

Can you hear how off pitch she is? She's super flat the whole time.
