Wrecking Ball

CD Details

Emmylou Harris released Wrecking Ball in 1995 on Asylum Records, a country rock album that blends folk and traditional influences. Producer Daniel Lanois assembled a skilled group of musicians including U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr. and New Orleans-based players Malcolm Burn, Brian Blade, and Daryl Johnson to support Harris’s distinctive vocals. The album pairs Harris with an array of carefully selected songs, creating an introspective collection that showcases her interpretive gifts across material ranging from the title track to interpretations of traditional pieces.

This CD contains ten tracks with a total runtime of approximately 43 minutes, featuring songs like “Every Grain of Sand,” “Goin’ Back To Harlan,” and “Sweet Old World.” Lanois’s production style wraps the album in a warm, enveloping sound that complements Harris’s weary delivery and his own guitar work throughout.
