Country icon emmylou Harris was a perfect choice for the nostalgic Longhorn Ballroom.
Jason Kempin/GettyIt was there in the vintage photos, lining the walls nearly from floor to ceiling as you walked through the entrance. It was evident in the colorful, historic murals adorning the exterior, or the modern art hanging in the suites ringing the perimeter of the restored room. You could even almost feel it, the sensation of the ghosts of legends lingering in the shadows.
Trophies aside, Harris, armed with her gorgeous mezzo-soprano voice , has also built a vast, influential career stretching far outside the prescribed boundaries of country, folk and rock music. Given that freedom from any promotional responsibilities, Saturday’s setlist was a pleasurable survey of all phases and stages of her eclectic career, veering from the evening’s opener, 2003’s “Here I Am,” to a cover of Steve Earle’s zesty, Cajun-spiced “Guitar Town” to a rollicking rendition of Delbert McClinton’s “Two More Bottles of Wine” to a spirited take on Rusty Young’s “Rose of Cimarron,” which Harris first cut back in 1981.
Such was the band’s ability that Harris could offer up rarely performed tunes like “Prayer in Open D” , or “Casey’s Last Ride,” an outtake she first released on the 2007 compilation, which required a restart when Harris spaced out in the middle of the first verse. “This is how the sausage is made, folks,” she deadpanned.
