This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Linda Ronstandt and Emmylou Harris are no strangers to harmonizing — teamed up with Dolly Parton in Trio, they’ve put out two acclaimed albums of traditional country fair fare.
On this debut disc as a duo, however, they’ve taken a hard left into more adventurous surroundings, intertwining their wondrous, complementary tones — Linda’s dark and earthy, Emmylou’s refined and angelic — on a baker’s dozen gently flowing, rootsy ballads from songwriters you’d expect (Jackson Browne, Leonard Cohen) and some you probably wouldn’t (Luscious Jackson’s Jill Cunniff, Sinead O’Connor). Neil Young and Kate and Anna McGarrigle even drop by to lend a hand. Not that the ladies need it.
