Our Take

Emmylou Harris' "Wrecking Ball" is a bold departure from her country roots, a sonic sledgehammer smashing through expectations. Produced by the legendary Daniel Lanois, this album sees Harris dive headfirst into the world of alternative rock, with mesmerizing results.

The opening track, "Where Will I Be", sets the tone for the entire album with its haunting vocals and eerie instrumental. Harris' voice is a force of nature, soaring and delicate in equal measure, capturing the listener's attention from the first note. The title track, "Wrecking Ball", is a powerful ballad that showcases Harris' incredible range and emotion, proving she can hold her own in any genre.

Throughout the album, Lanois' production is a star in its own right, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that perfectly complements Harris' vocals. The ethereal soundscape he creates is unlike anything Harris has ever done before, adding a layer of depth and complexity to each track.

While some fans of Harris' traditional country sound may be taken aback by the experimental nature of "Wrecking Ball", it is this willingness to push boundaries that makes the album so compelling. Harris proves that she is not bound by any one genre, but is instead a fearless artist unafraid to explore new sonic territories. "Wrecking Ball" is a triumph, solidifying Harris' status as a musical pioneer.
