Title: Welcome Reissue of Classic Album
Product review: CIMARRON was not especially well-received by critics, when it was released in 1981 (and to be fair, several of Emmylous's other recordings were indeed superior to this one), but it has aged remarkably well. Much more "produced" than most of her prior efforts, the album was comprised of outtakes from other sessons that hadn't fit into any of her other projects, yet the mood is remarkably consistent througout. Two of these songs, "Born to Run" (not the Springsteen tune) and "If I Needed You" were top-ten country singles, and Emmy's vocals on Chip Taylor's "Son of a Rotten Gambler" are achingly beautiful. And the sound quality of this recording is excellent.
