Emmylou Harris` albums of the `70s all follow a well-defined game plan. First, she selects a stellar repertoire of classic country songs, new material from neo-traditionalists like Rodney Crowell, and one rock oldie (this time it`s the Drifters` "Save the Last Dance for Me," which Harris took into country music`s top-five). She then surrounds herself with Nashville`s finest players-such as guitarists James Burton and Albert Lee, fiddler/mandolinist/singer extraordinaire Ricky Skaggs, and pedal-steel wizard Hank DeVito. Finally, Harris pours her heart and soul into every vocal performance. The resulting albums, of which BLUE KENTUCKY GIRL was the fifth, defined the state-of-the-art for serious country enthusiasts of the era.
By the time BLUE KENTUCKY GIRL was recorded, Harris` already impressive taste in material had reached near perfection. Particularly inspired choices here include the George Jones rarity "Beneath Still Waters," the Louvin Brothers` "Every Time You Leave," and Jean Ritchie`s gorgeous "Sorrow in the Wind." Among the more obvious-but equally fine-choices are the Hank Williams Sr. hit "They`ll Never Take His Love from Me," Gram Parsons` "Hickory Wind," and Rodney Crowell`s "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues," the last featuring Dolly Parton and Linda Rondstadt on harmony vocals.
