Hard Bargain

EMMYLOU HARRIS Hard Bargain (2011 UK 13-track CD album - Already celebrated as a discoverer and interpreter of other artists' songs, 12-time Grammy Award–winner Emmylou Harris has, in the last decade, become admired as much for her eloquently straightforward songwriting as for her incomparably expressive singing. On 'Hard Bargain', she offers 11 original songs - three of them co-written with Grammy and Oscar–winning composer Will Jennings - that touch on the autobiographical while reaching for the universal. She pays tribute to lost friends like her legendary mentor Gram Parsons ['The Road'] and her frequent collaborator, the late Kate McGarrigle ['Darlin' Kate'], and also finds poignancy and fresh meaning in events both historical and personal. On 'My Name Is Emmett Till' she recalls a pivotal act of violence during the civil rights movement in a heartbreakingly plain-spoken narrative, told from the victim's perspective; on 'Goodnight Old World', she fashions a bittersweet lullaby to her newly born grandchild, contrasting a grown-up's world-weariness with a baby's wide-eyed wonder. Few in pop or country music have achieved such honesty or revealed such maturity in their writing. Forty years into her career, Harris shares the hard-earned wisdom that comes with getting older, though she never stops looking ahead)
