Emmylou Harris - Tramps, New York City, 8-10-1996

I have to admit that some portions of Emmylou Harris's music career has more of a country sound than I like. But in 1995, her career took a turn with her album "Wrecking Ball." The Wikipedia page about the album comments: "The album received nearly universal acclaim, making many critics' year-end 'best of' lists, and pointed Harris' career in a somewhat different direction where she would incorporate a harder edge. As a career-redefining album, 'Wrecking Ball' was compared to Marianne Faithfull's 1979 'Broken English' album and Johnny Cash's 'American Recordings.'" This is a great sounding bootleg from the tour to promote that album.

Harris promoted the "Wrecking Ball" album a long time. She didn't release another studio album until 2000. But in 1998, she released the live album "Spyboy." That album has a lot of similarities to this one. However, this one is nearly twice as long, as I think it's a much better document from that tour.

The recording is flawless, so I didn't have to fix anything. There's surprisingly little banter, other than one story she told about watching a movie in a foreign country.

This is a good introduction to Harris' impressive music career even if you're not a big country music fan. It shows many of her older songs with her new sound she introduced with the "Wrecking Ball" album.

This album is an hour and 53 minutes long.
