Emmylou Harris interview by Cameron Crowe Rolling Stone, June 19, 1975

Fame Catches Up with Emmylou

Los Angeles – Guitar in hand, Gram Parsons sat in his road manager’s Laurel Canyon home and coached singer Emmylou Harris through the harmonies of the old Burritos classic, “Sin City.” Later, after she’d excused herself for a visit to the kitchen, Parsons grinned proudly. “There she is,” he said, “that’s my kick in the ass, keep an eye on her.”

That was in 1973. Now, two years later, Harris’s first major solo effort, Pieces of the Sky, has done well and her current club and concert tour (augmented by a band featuring Elvis’s guitarist James Burton and his keyboard player Glen D. Hardin) is drawing unanimous raves. But Emmylou Harris, it seems, is the last to catch up with Emmylou Harris. Still a bit dazed over Parsons’s untimely death in the fall of ’73, the 28-year-old singer is only now waking up to the reality of a successful solo career.

“I know what’s happening but it hasn’t really hit me yet,” she drawls softly, curled up on the sofa of a West Hollywood hotel room. Two nights earlier, she’d enthralled a capacity Palomino Club audience that included such luminaries as Bonnie Raitt, Maria Muldaur, Lowell George, Commander Cody, Joni Mitchell and Linda Ronstadt (for whose recent country hit, “I Can’t Help It” Harris provided the strong counter harmony). “I guess it’s just been a kind of long hard road. In a way I’ve been at this for almost ten years on almost all kinds of levels – from waiting tables to playing in New York clubs and not having anybody listen to me, to making a terrible first record for a bankrupt company to working with Gram.

“I suppose working with Gram was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me,” she continues. “There was just something very magical about the experience. It was so much fun to just get up there, sing with him, and not worry about carrying a show myself. Everyone paid all this attention to me and told me how good I was and all that. It was really like being some kind of fairytale princess. Somehow that affected me more than all this that’s happening now.” She lets her words settle for a moment, then decides on a quip. “Maybe I’m on time delay.”

Born in Alabama and raised in Virginia, Harris remembers a reputation of being a “real prig” in high school. “I was considered to be a kind of oddball. You know, always studying and making good grades. Singing began as a social thing. I realized when I started singing at parties people began noticing me. High schools are real hip now, everybody’s cool, but there was a counter-culture in Woodbridge, Virginia, in 1963. You were either a homecoming queen or  a real weirdo. Here I was a 16-year-old Wasp, wanting to quit school and become Woody Guthrie.”

Instead, Harris made it to the University of North Carolina on a drama scholarship. Using free time to play off-campus bars in a folk duo, she lasted a year and a half before applying to the more prestigious drama department at Boston University. “I was gonna work as a waitress in Virginia Beach for a while to get enough tuition money,” she recalls. “But there was an incredible little music scene going on down there. That’s when I got serious about singing.”

Harris never made it to Boston U. “I thought I was going to get married. My first big love below up in my face, so I just went to New York ’cause there was nothing else to do. I was greener than green. I got a room at the YWCA, started going to the Village, playing basket houses [pass-the-hat-clubs] and just . . . hangin’ out.”

In two years of scuffling around New York, Emmylou made some valuable friends like singers Jerry Jeff Walker and David Bromberg. “Besides turning me on to country music, they sort of looked out for me,” she says. “Even so, I must have had some protective kind of bubble around me. I used to walk home from gigs on dark streets at two in the morning with my guitar and never think anything of it. Looking back, I get scared to death.”

Harris’s first album (on the now defunct Jubilee records), recorded in New York just after her marriage, is one she’d like to forget. “I was trying to keep it a secret,” she laughs (ironically, since the 1970 release was titled Emmylou Harris). “I hope somebody in authority will be able to buy the masters and burn them. Everybody involved with that record hated everybody else and I was in the middle trying to keep the peace. It was a disaster.”

Several months after recording, “the worst possible thing any girl could ever do to her budding career” happened. Harris became pregnant with her child, Hallie. “Up until then,” she admits, “my life had been a little too nebulous, I had no clear vision at all. The pregnancy, although it wasn’t planned, gave me something very real and something present to relate to.”

Later, with her marriage broken and ten dollars in her pocket, the protectiveness of motherhood, soon drove Harris out of New York. “I didn’t know where I was gonna go, but I knew I had to get a job and make some money. By accident I got back into music through some friends, Billy and Kathy Danoff [writers of ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’]. They were still living in their basement apartment with all the cockroaches running around. They were the ones that put a guitar in my hands and ordered me onstage again.”

It was early ’71 when Flying Burrito Brothers guitarist Rick Roberts stumbled onto Harris performing in a small Washington D.C. bar called the Red Fox. The next night, Roberts brought the rest of the Burritos down for a look. They invited her to join the band; before she could accept, the Burritos had dissolved.

“Chris Hillman,” Emmylou remembers, “wanted to come out to L.A. so he could produce some demo tapes. He was really busy at the time. Anyway, I think it probably worked out the way it should have.” The way it worked out was for Hillman to turn on Gram Parsons, the Burritos’ long estranged cofounder, to their incredible discovery. Months later, Parson dropped in on one of Harris’s many D.C appearances and made a few vague promises. A year later, Parsons invited her to L.A. to sing on his first solo album, GP. Their partnership quickly intensified. “It was gonna be a Dolly Parton-Porter Wagoner situation. We didn’t see any need to break up that partnership because we really got higher on what we did together than anything we did separately. I still feel that way.”

It was hard work, she says, that kept her from slipping into an extended depression. “Gram’s death was like falling off a mountain. It was a very hard year between his death and the recording of my album [Pieces of the Sky]. A year of throwing myself into a lot of work that my heart wasn’t really into. There was a lot of stumbling involved. I was playing quite a few bars and was in a real vulnerable position. People felt that they could come up and ask me anything. I used to get hostile. It  hurt. I didn’t want to get emotional around some perfect stranger who had the goddamn gall to come up and ask me something that was none of his goddamn business.”

The subject brings her close to tears. “Gram was such an amazing part of my life. I have so many good memories of him, it seems pointless to dwell on the tragedy of it.” Abruptly, she reaches to turn up the country station already blaring from a hotel room radio. “Do you like Conway Twitty?” she asks. “I just love the harmony on this.”

Pieces of the Sky was almost a year long project in itself. Emmylou for one could not be more proud. With the help of Anne Murray’s ex-producer Brian Ahern, great care was taken in selecting material. “I’m just starting to write again,” says Harris. “I don’t mind the fact that I only wrote one song [“Boulder to Birmingham,’ cowritten with Bill Danoff] on the album. There are just too many tunes that I get off doing and want to turn people on to. I feel very deeply and personally involved with each one, so I don’t miss that writer’s identity of making a statement.

“I think any singer feels that way,” Harris says about choosing songs like the Everly Brothers’ “Sleepless Nights,” the Beatles’ “For No One”and Dolly Parton’s “Coat of Many Colors.” Like Linda [Ronstadt]. When she sings a song it’s really sung. Nobody cares that she doesn’t write; the delivery’s all that really matters.”

Besides a heavy touring schedule and the summer recording of her next album, Emmylou Harris spunkily refuses to acknowledge the long-range future. “A lot of my life has been circumstance. The future just doesn’t exist for me. You’re not responsible for decisions if you don’t make them.

“What do I see in the future?” Harris asks, reaching for the telephone. “A chocolate shake. Hello, Room Service?”

Who let the dog out? This incarnation of the 80s Grue Crew did, for their 100th episode together and for this year’s Halloween episode. For the occasions, they dip back into the Stephen King well for one of the trio of his films released in 1983: Cujo. Unleash the terror! Despite the puns, this film has a lot going for it. Director Lewis Teague gets powerful performances from Dee Wallace and Danny Pintauro that make Cujo a truly terrifying and heartwrenching movie. And then, there’s that rabid giant of a dog! The 80s bunch loves it! Even so, they go oft astray. 

At the time of this writing, Cujo is available for streaming from MAX, as well as PPV from multiple sources. It is also available on physical media as Cujo (40th Anniversary Edition) in standard Blu-ray or 4K UHD formats from KL Studio Classics.

The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells

Read time: 🎧 1:02 hours 🎧 Rating: 5/5

The quote: My wife, my colleagues, my students, my books, my observatory, my. . . my world. . . where are they? Did they ever exist? Am I Richard Pierson? What day is it? Do days exist without calendars? Does time pass when there are no human hands left to wind the clocks? — Professor Pierson

I grew up listening to Jeff Wayne's musical version of the War of the Worlds, which I recommend btw. So I was well aware of the story. Even though I've never seen a film. But this is how I think War of the World should be enjoyed. I know Wells wrote the short story in 1987 but to me, it is Orson Welles' 1938 production is what made it infamous. This particular version is War of the Wards as read by the cast of Star Trek. It was performed and recorded for Halloween by the L.A. Theatre Works in 2009. how I wish I'd been there when they recorded it.

Some random comments and a couple of quotes.

Gates McFadden is fantastic as the reporter Carla Phillips she has the voice for it. Her tone is perfection.

Leonard Nimoy is the astronomer Professor Pierson. His initial sense of scepticism comes through brilliantly, it must for a pure scientist. The transition he goes through is so effective as times get dark, as the new reality sets in.

Armin Shimerman as an announcer is a joy, his voice is iconic. But he will always Quark to me.

Brent Spiner does crazy well as the Stranger.

While I point out these specific actors, they are great and well suited to their roles. Everyone presents the right amount of urgency or sadness or near desperation.

Later when their bodies were examined in the laboratories, it was found that they were killed by the putrefactive and disease bacteria against which their systems were unprepared. . . slain, after all man’s defenses had failed, by the humblest thing that God in His wisdom put upon this earth. — Professor Pierson

Dim and wonderful is the vision I have conjured up in my mind of life spreading slowly from this little seed bed of the solar system throughout the inanimate vastness of sidereal space. But that is a remote dream. — Professor Pierson

 It was all John de Lancie's idea. Because of course, it was.

The interview afterwards is well worth listening to. The one I heard came with Gates McFadden whom I didn't know prefers to stage act rather than film act. It's that feedback the interplay between performer and audience. There is a discussion of how she about changing how role from the male original to the female.

On the LATW listing for the title there is an interview with Leonard Nimoy. Here you can also get the audiobook for free on Spotify.

Wellesnet has a copy of the original 1938 script. Because it's essentially what they are recording rather than H.G. Wells original work. Freedom Forum has a version of the orginal 1988 broadcast on their YouTube channel.

Jeff Buckley: Grace (Columbia)

Byron Coley, Spin, October 1994

ONE OF MY favourite sorts of music has no real generic handle by which it can be carried into the marketplace. Informed by jazz, rock, and folk traditions, it is not specifically aligned with any of them, vibrating in the air like a mahogany hen's egg held in the grip of unseen forces.

Performers capable of producing this stuff include Fred Neil, Tim Buckley, Michael Chapman, Karen Dalton, Roy Harper, Tommy Flanders, Cassandra Wilson, Tim Hardin, Bob Brown and others. One new name to add to this list is Jeff Buckley.

Jeff is the son of the late master singer Tim Buckley, and one assumes (from the fact that his bio doesn't mention his father) that theirs was not a close relationship. On his debut, Live at Sin-é, whenever Jeff's singing became too similar to his dad's, he'd head off into that quivery direction that Robert Plant used to, singing about things like "Silver and golden carrots/Fighting for a dead dog's love." This is an incredibly annoying tendency, but it's one that Buckley seems to be utilizing less and less.

As evidenced by Grace (and a great promo EP called Peyote Radio Theatre), Buckley is feeling a bit more self-confident these days. Some of this may come from the grounding his material has been given by the extraordinary guitarist Gary Lucas, with whom he works on some tunes here. Another layer of luxuriously creative loam is put down by the arrangements of Karl Berger (best known as an avant-garde vibraphonist), and Buckley seems to flourish in this particular garden.

The songs on Grace range from the perverted pop moves of 'So Real' (a composition that could have been lifted from Big Star's Third), to a pigeon-wide cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah', to the exquisite tongue-pressure of 'Dream Brother' (a masterpiece of pseudo East-meets-West formalism). Throughout, Buckley's voice is lovely. Obnoxious tendrils of Plantism surface here and there, but Buckley follows his natural vocal inclinations more often than he tries to subvert them.

If Buckley continues to evolve in the direction that Grace indicates, only good things can result. Perhaps he can find a worthy musical doppelganger (as his father did, in Lee Underwood) and convince Karl Berger to actually play vibes on his next album. If he can do these two things, it won't be too long before he's ushered into the halls of greatness. Perhaps then he and his father can make peace.

Through his narratives, dramatizations, and monologues, Malcolm Glass takes his reader on a journey through the triumphs and tribulations of women and their relationships with men and other women. These pieces show women dealing with frustration and grief, making tough choices, expressing wit and sensibility, determination and confusion. The reader will find in this collection characters who are mystical and mythical, whimsical and nostalgic. Her Infinite Variety suggests that the depth and diversity of women extends far beyond its pages, to infinity.

His latest collection of poems, Mirrors, Myths, and Dreams, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2018.

PRAISE FOR Her Infinite Variety by Malcolm Glass

In Malcolm Glass’s Her Infinite Variety, “A single / frame” cannot tell the fullness of our conflicts, wounds, journeys, rebirths, or resolutions. Thus, with a photographer’s probing gaze, a playwright’s understanding of character, and a poet’s hope for words, Glass studies those shadowy, murky intersections that too often define human relationships—the “tribulations and trials” still plaguing the Edens we establish and tend. Though we may “carefully arrange” our ephemeral lives and loves, as his poem attest, we are never secure, never certain. Knowing—whatever it turns out to be—is full of grime and glory and all the ways time pushes us forward as we falter, as we continue on, as we still seek the “strange and wonderful ways life connects us.”

–Jeff Hardin, author of Watermark: Poems (Madville Publishing, 2022)

Boots and Keds. Rusted out trucks and amber perfume. Malcolm Glass’s Her Infinite Variety is an homage to the lived experiences of women everywhere – women who pursue their missing fathers, mourn their lost babies, and interrogate love in its many forms. In this seamless hybrid collection, Glass’s stepmoms and goddesses, little girls and queens, slip in and out of shadow and starlight, boundlessly beckoning to his readers, “Stand with me/ in the violet flame of rebirth.”

–Joanna Grisham, author of Phantoms (Finishing Line Press, 2023)

We recently a great opportunity to do some engraving for the folks over at hardin deer processing in Lincoln Alabama. After we finished the work we hand delivered the blades to them and got a short tour of the facility. Man what a well run clean and professional establishment they have right here in Alabama. These folks make some of the best deer jerky, cube steak, boudin, ground beef, sausage that we have had the pleasure of eating. And let me tell you we’ve eaten a lot throughout the years. Again we want to make sure everyone understands these folks are 100 percent the top of the class for processors in Alabama likely the whole southeast no kidding. What a wonderful experience. Thanks to Jeff and his family including the staff for having us. Y’all go see them for your deer processing. You won’t regret it.

do you have poems about grief/sorrow that aren't about a person's death? I've been desperately wishing I could go back in time, to a time that's long gone now, to people that are still alive but not home anymore, to a feeling, etc. no one died this time. somehow, that doesn't seem to matter. not sure I'm making any sense.

hi anon! i’m so sorry for taking a long time to get to your prompt--i’ve had a difficult time in my personal life & haven’t had much time to respond to requests. i love your prompt & the way you phrased it, & here are some poems that i hope resonate with you. enjoy reading!

Meghan O’Rourke, “Unforced Error” | Heidegger: “Every man is born as many men / and dies as a single one.” / The bones in us still marrowful. / The moon up there, too, an arctic sorrow.

Ada Limón, “Before” | If you live, / you look back and beg / for it again, the hazardous / bliss before you know / what you would miss.

Jeff Hardin, “Concerning the Shape of Time” | The truth is: here we are / inside these lives we sometimes do not / recognize, these lives we don’t deserve. / So many selves we almost came to be / never came to be.

Wendy Xu, “Writing Home” | These days / the lyric’s sentiment floats / away from me. Like a river someone / forgets to bless. Memory, to memory, / to the dirt path opening / again in a dream.

Li-Young Lee, “I Ask My Mother to Sing” | how the waterlilies fill with rain until / they overturn, spilling water into water, / then rock back, and fill with more.

Luiza Flynn-Goodlett, “The Sublime Before (Is Someone's After)” | Summers, we bleach hair with / lemon, are warm as gold on skin, haven't / glimpsed the shapes we'll be hammered in.

A voice might find its way by being led along— in hummed belief for being here, then gone

I’ve always thought a voice might be content to dwell inside the place it finds itself. A voice could just belong to where it is...

A voice could be that faint, could find small things...

A voice need not become a haunted thing, intent on rectifying how it’s been misunderstood or set aside. A voice might find its way by being led along— in hummed belief for being here, then gone. ~ Jeff Hardin, from “Concerning a Small Thing,” Hudson Review (vol. 70, no
