| Emmylou Harris first broke on the national music scene as the duet partner of Gram Parsons, the legendary progenitor of country rock. Vocal duets (and trios, for that matter) have played a prominent role in Harris' music ever since. DUETS collects 12 of Harris' better-known vocal collaborations, including a number that had never before been released under her name. | |
| Like all such collections, DUETS varies considerably from track to track, both in production values and artistic merit. What remains constant throughout, however, is the quality of Harris' contributions. Whether pitching in on Neil Young's mystical "Star of Bethlehem" or Earl Thomas Conley's treacly "We Believe in Happy Endings," Harris provides stellar support. While some of these tracks are available on must-own Harris albums ("Green Pastures," for example, appears on Harris' remarkable ROSES IN THE SNOW), others, are culled from soundtracks and albums released by Harris' duet partners. Accordingly, DUETS is a very convenient package for Harris fans looking to gather all of Harris' recordings without having to buy, say, an entire John Denver album. While not the place to begin an Emmylou Harris collection, DUETS does provide an interesting glimpse at one aspect of a great artist's career. | |
