Product Description

This long-awaited, highly anticipated follow-up to 1987's much-loved initial Trio offering doesn't disappoint. On Trio II, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton weave a spell that is equal parts traditional and contemporary, country and folk, vision and voice. It's their seamless musical blend of these counterpoints--as in the sweet, sweeping harmonies on Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush" or the instrumentally spare acoustic presentation of the Carter Family's "Lover's Return"--that makes these songs such treasures. When individual voices soar and fuse together to create distinct new voices, when instinct leads the way for artistry to follow, the result is perfect harmony, pure magic. --Alexandra Russell

As if the joys of Trio I were not enough !.
Dolly, Linda and Emmylou returned in 1999 with another
collection of perfectly chosen songs.Rarely can three such
distinctive voices have melded to make such a perfect whole.
A decade's further experience tells subtely in both
individual and ensemble performances. Ronstadt's velvety
tones have deepened and mellowed; Harris gives glimpses of
what was to come with "Wrecking Ball", a little cracked,
craggy and ephemeral; Parton is as sublime as ever !
It's very difficult to choose high points with so many
treasures on offer but I'll point you towards "High Sierra",
"He rode all the way to Texas" and "Feels like home" as current
favorites. The latter previously performed by Bonnie Raitt in
Mr. Newman's 1995 recording of his musical 'Faust' - yet sung
here exquisitely by Ms Ronstadt and enhanced further by Ms Parton
and Ms Harris's gorgeous harmonic contribution.
No hesitation then in willing you to buy this
wonderful album if you don't already own it.
Remarkable !

The original Trio album was a traditional folk-country album and this is similar in style – even the same producer (George Massenburg) is at the helm. It did not have the impact of the original album, nor did it match that album for sales, yet the quality is still there.
This set opens with Lovers return, a Carter family song, which sets a brilliant standard for what follows. Among the songs here are covers of Dolly’s Do I ever cross your mind, Neil Young’s After the gold rush, Del McCoury’s I feel the blues movin’ in and John Starling’s He rode all the way to Texas.
This is a well-balanced collection of songs in which each of the ladies get their turn as lead singer, with the others providing great harmony vocals.
I regard the original Trio album as being one of the finest albums ever, by anybody, in any genre of music. This does not quite match it, but it comes very close.

I have had this album for years and love it even more now than I did when I first purchased it. I still enjoy modern albums, from Adele to Lady Gaga and Jessie J, but I am far more likely to have this on the player over any other. The willingness of these talented singers to not only let each other shine but also enhance one another is truly a gift to each of them and to us, the listening public. Thank you ladies, for bringing much listening joy to my life.

MORE OF THE BEST
A short while ago I reviewed "TRIO", after having bought the LP record years ago. On listening again I found it to be as delightful as I did back then. Read more

Trio - Vol2 the best
I have given this only four stars, not because I think it less than the best but to allow myself to add an additional star for Albums that rank as all time favourites. Read more
