Her band personnel evolved from great studio musicians who became part of her road band, the Hot Band, including Rodney Crowell (with whom she cowrote many of her best early songs) and Tony Brown (who went on to head MCA Nashville), Albert Lee (not the English Albert Lee) and Glen D. "At the time she made these recordings," Mullany says, "she was married to Ahern, who had a significant career as a producer. According to DVD Talk reader and Emmylou fan Jim Mullany, these recordings represent some of her greatest career-making performances. The tracks were chosen by Harris and producer Brian Ahern.

Those recent albums have an edgy, alternative feel-with an undercurrent of country-that appeals to this particular Denver boy. I'm a relatively recent fan of Emmylou Harris, and her albums Wrecking Ball and Red Dirt Girl find themselves in my CD player quite frequently. ![]()
