The Original
Album Collection is a series which brings together a collection of
albums from an artists catalogue, all together in one convenient and
compact pack. Each album is packaged in the original artwork in a
cardboard slipcase. This very interesting in that to my knowledge two of
these albums, "Evangeline" and "Thirteen" have never been released on
CD before. Probably because they were not among Emmylou's best sellers,
Warner Bros. passed them over when they were churning out dismal
versions of catalogue material. Lucky for us, in order to release this
package Rhino had to master this pair of gems for the first time, and
apparently decided to do it properly. The other three titles in this
packaged have been released before and with the exception of "White
Shoes" have even been re-mastered.
My unsophisticated ear cannot be certain they have been re-mastered
again for this release, but they certainly sound good. The quiet records
are quiet and the loud ones are not. What we end up with is three of my
very favorite Emmylou Harris Rockier albums bookended by two excellent
traditional country albums, and not a bad one in the bunch. I make no
attempt to critique the music, if you have read this far, you must be a
fan. I have avidly collected Emmylou's music since her days with Gram
Parsons, and this contains an eclectic batch of cover versions very few
artists could pull off if they were fortunate enough to share her good
taste. If you are a fan of Emmylou Harris, you must have this
collection.
