Our Take

Emmylou Harris' "Cimarron" is a whimsical journey through the heart of country music, serving up a delightful mix of heartache and twang. The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Rose of Cimarron," a track that showcases Harris' angelic vocals and storytelling prowess. As the album unfolds, listeners are treated to a diverse range of musical styles, from the foot-stomping energy of "I'll Be Your San Antone Rose" to the introspective balladry of "Tennessee Waltz."

Harris' band, The Hot Band, provides a dynamic backdrop for her emotive vocals, with banjos, fiddles, and guitars weaving in and out of each song with precision and flair. Standout tracks include the infectious "Easy from Now On," which is sure to have listeners tapping their toes and singing along, and the tender "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues," a poignant reflection on love and loss.

However, "Cimarron" is not without its missteps. The album's production sometimes veers into over-polished territory, stripping away some of the raw authenticity that makes country music so captivating. Additionally, while Harris' vocals are undeniably powerful, they occasionally lack the subtlety and nuance that could elevate certain tracks to a higher level of emotional resonance.

Overall, "Cimarron" is a solid addition to Emmylou Harris' impressive discography, showcasing her unwavering talent and ability to transcend genre boundaries. Fans of classic country music will find much to love here, while newcomers may be won over by Harris' undeniable charm and charisma. So grab your cowboy hat and saddle up for a wild ride with Emmylou Harris and "Cimarron." Yeehaw!
