Music reviews of Wrecking Ball
Music Review: big fan for years
Rating: 3 Stars
This is a somewhat strange recording. The covers are typical Emmy Lou: recordings of wonderful songs from master songwriters that may have been overlooked. However, her voice is really stretched and scratchy. My 14 year old son commented: "Who is that old lady singing?" Also, the orchestration is too busy and lush at times. While I understand that all artists must grow creatively, the sound is distinctively different from the country "roots" sound that she seemed to have championed over the years. Contrast the production of many of these cuts from that of her cover of Leonard Cohen's "Prayer for a Runaway Horse" a few years back. I found a lot of this cd lacking.

Title: WRECKING BALL
Street Release Date: 09/26/1995
Genre: COUNTRY
Emmylou Harris's formula has been to match a crack crew of left-of-center country players with an assortment of tasteful tunes and head into the studio with a nonintrusive producer. Now and then (most notably the 1980 bluegrass collection Roses in the Snow), she tampers with her basic blueprint and comes up with something exceptional. Wrecking Ball is one of those. Daniel Lanois's radiant production no longer seems as fresh as it did on albums by U2, Peter Gabriel, and Bob Dylan, but here its hum enfolds Harris like an electric blanket. Lanois's usual recruits, including U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr., and New Orleans regulars Malcolm Burn, Brian Blade, and Daryl Johnson, lay down a solid base for Harris's weary vocals and Lanois's buzzing guitar. At its core, Wrecking Ball seems almost too finely calculated. Hot producer plus sought-after songwriters plus venerated performer frequently totals to deadly bore. Here, however, all that calculation adds up to something. --Steven Stolder
