I just love it! The music is great, and the story just feels so real to me. It may be 6 people sitting around talking for 2 hours, but to me, it feels like real life.

I thought long and hard about putting Emmylou on my list but Alison Krauss took her spot. I love Emmy though! Can't believe you've put Quarter Moon... on, that's my fave Emmylou album!

I can never decide on a favourite Emmylou album, it depends on my mood. Quarter Moon is the one I listen to over and over though, it's definately gotten me through some difficult times. I love 'All I Intended to Be', her newest album, she wrote quite a few of the songs on there and they're just incredible, especially 'Take that Ride'.
