Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Emmylou Harris's formula has been to match a crack crew of left-of-centre country players with an assortment of tasteful tunes and head into the studio with a non-intrusive 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 on deadly bore. Here, however, all that calculation adds up to something. --Steven Stolder Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Something Pretty And NiceIf you have listened to Emmylou's 70's albums, you may be disappointed in this album but give it a chance. It is slower and more difficult than the first albums but it has its moments. The songs like "All My Tears" and "Orphan Girl" are great! Rating:  - StunningWrecking Ball is one of my favourite albums - and I've got a lot. I bought it around 6 months ago and haven't put it away since. Well worth whatever they're asking for it. Rating: - Amazon can't deliver this itemAfter waiting weeks amazon have finally given me a delivery estimate of 6 Months. Nothing like the estimate mentioned on the website. Very poor. Rating: - A pivotal album in my lifeI was recommended this album by Amazon today - it is 2006 and over ten years since this extraordinary album's release. I came to read the reviews and was stunned to see only eight! ONLY eight for this, the most important album that I ever bought. My musical life breaks down cleanly into pre-WB and post-WB, where WB stands for this album. I first bought this because of a four line review in the Daily Mail, where the reviewer said if you buy one album this year, please let it be this one. So I did - as I wanted to see why one man would go out on a limb so far in some populist rag. I'm not saying this is Emmy's best - for that I humbly suggest Red Dirt Girl - but this album led me on to Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Malcolm Burn, Gram Parsons, ...

Could these be in-house staff recruiting? It's not as though the album came out yesterday, its release date was 1995. How come there are suddenly 7 reviews when for so long there was nothing? Anyway... In the event of my review going ahead, I would like to make the following adjustments; *'ripped up and ravaged voice' to be replaced by 'torn and ravaged voice'. ('Torn' is softer & better describes Emmylou). *'luminous' to be replaced by 'numinous' (although it probably amounts to the same thing). *viz. the reference to handrums and banshee wailing; the wailing specifically relates ...
