From one of her best albums ever, this is "Sin City", written by Emmylou's boyfriend Gram Parsons along with Chris Hillman of the Byrds. We usually think of Las Vegas when we think of Sin City, but in this case the song was written about Los Angeles, the "city of angels".

Even if this is slowed, I can hear her voice as clear as a bell and it is definately the voice of angels... I actually like this version... Slowed and everything!

Whatever this was recorded from, it's WAY too slow. Like turning a 4 minute song into a 4:30 long song. The voices are all wrong, sounds like they're winding down to a stop. Put your CD or LP on and compare it to this, you'll see what I mean.

Hi Chuck, thanks for writing, you are right, 'the good, they die young'. Makes me think of John Denver, R.I.P. His voice always gave me 'good bumps'. May God bless you Chuck, Louise

Hi Chuck! You are right! Emmylou is 1 of the FEW female singers that can actually give me 'goose bumps'. Thanks for writing, God bless you, friend!

What a beautiful voice, certainly one on a very short list of singers,M/F, of any genre, recording today. It's just so pure.

@coolram52 You are right about the last verse. When Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman wrote this song Emmylou was Grams girlfriend. And when she sings this, after all these years, you can still hear how much she misses him. Gram died way to young. Thissong brings back many memories for me. Most of them good. But what a long time ago that was.

"Elite Hotel" is probably my favorite Emmylou album, although "Pieces of the Sky" and Cimarron are not far behind. "Sin City" really highlights Emmylou's voice. I've heard that the last verse is about Bobby Kennedy. Anyone know if that's true?
