Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town

Customer Reviews:

• WOW!: After making many great albums, Emmylou still continues making great music, and makes her best album since "Pieces of the Sky". This is absolutely an amazing album! There's simply no fillers! Every song is great country music. There's three songs I especially like: "To Daddy", "Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight", and "I Ain't Living Long Like This". Sometimes this album sounds even better than "Pieces...". I love this album also because it has all kinds of great songs from slow ones to up-beat ones. Emmylou has an amazing voice, and she is my country star number one!
  Stars: Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight, To Daddy, I Ain't Living Long Like This
• OPUS FIVE: Incredible ! QUARTER MOON IN A TEN CENT TOWN was, after Elite Hotel and Luxury Liner, the third masterpiece in a row for Emmylou Harris. With this album, she proved to be a singer one had to count with. No weak songs, each of them could have been released as a single. What could I say that hasn't been said by the previous reviewers ? Nothing. This album is perfect.
  
  A CD that should already be in your library.
• When she's good, she's great . . .: I was introduced to Emmylou Harris through her album WRECKING BALL, and this was much different than I expected. THe only tracks that I like are "Two more bottles of wine" - which is loads of fun to listen to, and makes great driving music, "To Daddy" - an old Dolly Parton song, which is classic country fed-up-woman music, and "One Paper Kid" with Willie Nelson - their voices blend beautifully on the recording, and Willie's voice always brings a tear to my eye - I love him. "Travellin' Man" is alright - I just feel that there are a lot of other songs in the same vein out there that are much better. The rest of the songs are just okay, and I didn't find them particularly memorable.
  
  I still really like Emmylou Harris - and the good songs on this album are really great, but I don't think that this was a good "second look" at her work, and I would probably only recommend it to people who are already Emmylou Harris fans.
• Emmylou Harris fan!!!: Warning: The two bonus tracks are live. The songs are great, but it seems deceptive to me when they are not listed as such. It is industry practice to list on the cover when songs are live. With Emmylous' re-issues so far ( I have two more of the re-issued CD's to open and listen to ) they have been unissued studio recordings.
• A Classic: What the "Blue" album is to Joni Mitchell, this album is to Emmylou Harris.
