I’ve recorded and uploaded this audio recording with a Facebook Group that I am an enthusiastic member of in mind. They are The Original Emmylou Harris Facebook Group.
This is a moment of true confession and I feel obliged to share that I have been an avid fan of Emmylou Harris since the middle of the 1970’s, when I first heard her singing on the album – Pieces of the Sky. She is quite simply the artist with the voice, and she uses it to make the most wonderful music.
Anyway, long story short, one of the poems that I have written for Walk Away Silver Heart is a reflection on the relationship that I have with this lady and her music, and I have offered to share it with the group.
So, today I have taken a moment to record this small homage to someone who has brought great joy to me, across the journey. I hope you enjoy an audio rendition of the poem, and again.
I will include the links to other readings from Walk Away Silver Heart after the Amazon link, below.
