I don't think I've ever heard a better rendition of this song. Neil should be proud.

Very cool! Beautiful voices.

When I saw Dolly in 2016 she said there were about 20 songs still in the can from the Trio album recordings with Emmylou and Linda. They released a box set of all the recordings. She said of all the things she has done, she is most proud of that effort - with her catalog that is certainly saying a lot. She said the blending of their voices was just perfect. She also said Linda is not doing well due to Parkinson's. The disease is preventing her from ever singing again. Dolly was getting a little emotional talking about how important it was to get these recordings out so people could hear Linda again. I've been a Dolly and Emmylou fan for years. They are simply amazing.

Did someone call me?
Very nice. Thanks Mr Sluckey.

You and me Ed :l2:
Wow! After the Gold Rush. Hadn't heard that one in years. Granted they did a great cover, and all these ladies have individually produced and performed phenomenal solo albums, but still like the bitterness/lonely signature tone that Neil provides with this song.
Speaking of burn out hippies... Hey Sluckey, just checked out your web page, and is that you with the strat in your high school band photo?
-
Yes, that's me.

Sweet! Candy apple red with rosewood neck. Hopefully, unlike me, you kept it.
I'm probably about 10 years younger than you, which doesn't mean I didn't have my share of 'vintage' guitars. Back then they were considered used... Pre-Norlin gibsons were about $200-$300 market price. Less if you found a bargain. If I had a crystal ball back then, I would have stocked up on them. Would have beefed up my retirement...
In your current gear, that Martin of yours has always been my dream guitar. As a teen, I remember seeing Young+Stills play on one. My friends Dad had one from the late sixties, the tone was incredible. Played a more recent one at guitar center, and nah, not the same. What year is yours?

I didn't keep the Strat. Sold it for $150 in '72 and bought a new 335. My daughter still plays the 335. I bought the new D-45 in '85. Only $1800 back then. I'll never let it go. Although the Taylor 614ce is my fave acoustic nowadays.

Did the same in '77. Sold my late sixties Tele thinline (didn't care about dates back then, they were just used guitars) for about $175.00, and purchased an early seventies gibson les paul alpine white, but ended selling that one too a few years later.
"new D-45 in '85. Only $1800 back then". Still a lot of money for back then (for me anyway), considering I was paying $400 a months in rent for an apartment that I was splitting with my girlfriend. Such a gorgeous guitar with all those inlays. And that sound from my friends Dad's guitar, unrivaled.
I've never really been an acoustic guitar player, and even we I do play one, I have a strong electric accent. Nothing like a Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, or a Jorma Kaukonen. So in acoustics, I have a '90 Martin HD-28, and a '72 Guild F50. Both nice guitars. Through out the years, gathered a nice collection of electrics... Once again my main instrument.
Your Daughter is definitely taking good care of your 335. From the picture it's shinning.
Anyway from this burned out hippie, who "almost cut his hair" back in the '70s (I cudda said it was in my way), but now I'm just losing them instead (chopped it short when that started happening), signing out. ttfn.

"There was a band playing in my head and I felt like I could cry"
I thought it was
I felt like getting high?
-
It was :l2:
Obviously had to keep it rated G. I know that Emmy Lou did her share back then. Don't know about Dolly or Linda.

Yep, the girls had a different reaction. :icon_biggrin:
The girls also got the date wrong...
"Look at Mother Nature on the run in the twentieth century."
But Neil sang...
"Look at Mother Nature on the run in the nineteen seventies."
