This is but the first song of what I consider her best album ever. It is the album that made me discover her. In two ways ;1° I had never heard of her before when I borrowed the vinyl at the municipal library, and2° does she speak of Sally Rose or ...of herself in these songs? The 14 songs are not randomly picked but follow the chronological unfolding of a story. Whose story? Emmylou admits it is autobiographical. The words of some of these songs are extremely deep, highly spiritual :"As each long day rolls by and falls behind meIn the loneliness there's a peacefulness I findThough I'm weary even thenWhen I rise to start againThere'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown....I'll shall not disavow all these ties that bind me nowThey'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown...the sorrows that I have known, I'll see them all be overthrownThey'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crownThrough the passing of the years I will grow strongerJust as sure as this old world keeps spinnin' roundAnd the closer I will be to my sweetest victoryThere'll be a diamond in my crown(in "Diamond in my crown")In a moment of deep distress that I lived, such lyrics were a motivator for me to hit the road again. Because the distress not directly expressed but so vividly implied in the first part of the album is followed by such a firm determination to live, to live fully, to live a useful life. And whatever one may go through, if one keeps on toward one's goal, the end will be an apotheosis, as expressed in the conclusion of this magnificent album :"Oh my childrenSorrow shall come to each of usAll our triumphs will soon lay buried in the dustLong forgotten...But when the silver turns to rustLove is found when the heart is lost."For me, this album is THE masterpiece of country/western music.

I find all her songs so beautiful, she is a real good singer, and she is still a beautiful woman.

This is the most underrated album I have ever heard. It oozes personal passion and each song is so well written and makes up a tragic story based on her relationship with Gram Parsons. Emmylou also cannot understand why it is ignored so much. Spread the word.

Oh my God, Emmylou touched my soul again! Teddy's nose and her angelic voice, what a combination on this earth. Let's go to South Dakota and cry out loudly: "Miss Harris, I love you forever!"

I know this album was a financial and critical flop but I think it is one of the greatest concept albums ever produced. Amazing songs, sung beautifully with brilliant musicians.

One of Emmylou's finest! Heartfelt from one who came from nothing, about one who came from nothing. Next to my sweet wife, my lifelong heartthrob, the voice of an angel, and a story with personal significance for me.
