Emmylou Harris: Wrecking Ball Outtakes

By now, every Emmylou Harris' enthusiast is already familiar Wrecking Ball, the 1995 iconic departure from classic country that won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Recording. Very recently, I came to own the Wrecking Ball demos and outtakes, famed to have been given to the world by a source close to fabulous producer, Daniel Lanois. The outtakes include songs not found in the release. Please indulge.

All My Tears
Goodbye
Every Grain Of Sand
Orphan Girl
May This Be Love
Waltz Across Texas Tonight
Never Be Gold
Sweet Old World
Deeper Well
Still Water
How Will I Ever Be Simple Again
Wrecking Ball

After listening, you can head to the Aquarium Drunkard to read his excellent reflection on Lanois' production on Wrecking Ball.

thanks for those - I love Sweet Old World, sounds more relaxed somehow, less 'performance'.
