Unofficial, uncertified Red Dirt Girl Appreciation Thread

[Rickypt]

I know we've had some Emmylou love threads, but this one is specific to "Red Dirt Girl". The song and the album. I've recently decided this album is in my top 5 faves of all time.

Anyone see the Soundstage with Emmylou and Knopfler? Emmylou does "Red Dirt Girl" and I swear I started crying 30 seconds into it and couldn't stop. Still haven't figured out what happened, but very cathartic.

...could have been the whiskey....could've been the pills

What a masterful storyteller.

And "Bang The Drum Slowly": please let someone play that at my funeral.

Share your "Red Dirt Girl" love, please.
