>The lady you will hear singing with him on many of the songs is Emmylou Harris, who was then unknown. The way they sing together is a thing of beauty. You want to run out the front door and fall in love with somebody. They were lovers as well as collaborators. Supposedly the original cover photo of "Grievous Angel" was Gram and Emmylou on a motorcycle, which his widow kiboshed.

I love them together. I have an old album of theirs (can't think of the name - top of the closet now) but my favourite track is "We'll sweep out the ashes in the morning".

I sing in 3 vocal harmony orgs: an a capelolo choir, a group ("Male Men Applause") and a wee "glee club" so I adore close harmony.

>Listen not only for the vocal harmonies but also the guitar licks of James Burton, one of the greats. He played guitar for Elvis, Roy Orbison, and Gram Parsons -- not a bad resume. Check out his playing on "Return of the Grievous Angel".
