Sie hat nennt sensationelle 12 Grammys ihr Eigen und gehört ohne Zweifel zu den einflussreichsten Sängerinnen ihrer Generation: Emmylou Harris ist aus der amerikanischen Musikgeschichte nicht wegzudenken. In ihrer langen Karriere hat sie mit Künstlern wie Gram Parsons, Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, John Denver, The Band, Elvis Costello, Conor Oberst und Dolly Parton zusammengearbeitet, nun dürfen wir uns auf ein neues Album von der 63-Jährigen freuen.
"Hard Bargain" soll voraussichtlich am 22. April bei uns erscheinen. Gegenüber dem Magazin "Uncut" zeigt sich Harris von ihrem jüngsten Werk begeistert, "ich denke, es ist mein bestes Album", so Harris, die berichtet, das Album binnen nur eines Monats aufgenommen worden, was "recht untypisch" für sie sei. Allerdings habe sie 11 der 13 Songs auf dem Album bereits im Vorfeld im Kopf gehabt. Die übrigen zwei sollten Songs anderer Schreiber sein. Eines dieser Cover wurde "Hard Bargain", ein Songs von Ron Sexsmith, den Harris "absolut liebt" - und der am Ende sogar namensgebend für Album sein sollte.
The album follows Harris’s acclaimed 2008 release, All I Intended to Be, which received widespread acclaim—Newsweek called it an album that “shows that Harris is still the stalwart songbird at the top of the roost.” Hard Bargain, which comprises 11 new songs by Harris as well as two covers, was produced by Jay Joyce (Cage the Elephant, Patty Griffin). A deluxe edition of the album includes a DVD featuring six performances interspersed with interviews. Nonesuch Store pre-orders of both editions include an exclusive manuscript lyric sheet of the song "The Road," a number of which will be signed by Harris.
“We did the whole record in about a month, which is quite unusual for me. But I had all the material beforehand. I’d written 11 of the 13 songs and I really wanted to include two more by other writers,” Harris explains. “One of the covers is Ron Sexsmith’s ‘Hard Bargain,’ which I absolutely love. The other is by Jay Joyce, called ‘Cross Yourself.’
“We did the whole thing with just three musicians, me being one of them. Jay, the producer, and Giles Reeves play everything between them. It’s not a stripped down record though; there’s only one song that’s a little bare bones. I’m basically a slow ballad-y person, but Jay managed to really move the songs up a bit. But they still have the same emotional feel.”
Two of the album’s songs look back at relationships that were central to Harris’ creative life. She wrote “Darlin’ Kate” for her close friend and collaborator Kate McGarrigle, who died last year of a rare form of cancer, while “The Road” casts its eye further back to the formative time Harris spent with country / rock icon Gram Parsons at the beginning of her career.
A 12-time Grammy winner and Billboard Century Award recipient, Emmylou Harris’s contribution as a singer and songwriter spans 40 years. She has recorded more than 25 albums and has lent her talents to countless fellow artists’ recordings. In recognition of her remarkable career, Harris was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008.
,,Harris' unvergleichliche Stimme - sie wird auch auf ,,Hard Bargain" wieder Menschen älteren Jahrgangs zu Tränen rühren ..." (Rolling Stone, 05 / 2011)
,,Bei ,,New Orleans" gibt der Rock den Ton an, ,,My Name Is Emmett Till" rückt die akustische Gitarre in den Vordergrund, in ,,The Road" malt die E-Gitarre ein musikalisches Bild. So findet die Grande Dame des Country für jeden Titel einen stimmigen Ansatz. Einige Lieder sind quasi aus dem Moment heraus entstanden, andere mussten lange reifen." (stereo, 06 / 2011)
,,Kernige Platte, die nach US-Highways klingt." (stereoplay, 06 / 2011)
,,Hymnisch und distinguiert singt die Grande Dame des Rootsrock vorrangig Eigenkompositionen, die eine gewisse Altersweisheit versprühen und von einer kernigen Instrumentierung leben." (audio, 06 / 2011)
