Title: Sweet Old World - one of the great moments
Product review: I'd had Wrecking Ball stuck away in a back corner because on a first listen it wasn't the Emmylou Harris I knew. Then, a spare moment of time to REALLY listen, and wow.There's a slice of pure perfection it this albumYou travel a long way to hear anything more sensitively performed, better produced, or perfect for the the artist than Wrecking Ball's Sweet Old World.At its basics its a regretful song about the sweet things some person who has suicided has left behind in this Sweet Old World.Then you're listening again to the words, and you realize the almost woozy, sliding ethereal sound that's been created to wrap around the song is so acutely suggestive of some soul slipping gently away from life. Huge marks for Emmylou herself, Daniel Lanois who produced it, and Neil Young who's background vocal is right on itIt's a wonderful moment in music..
