Emmylou Harris & Daniel Lanois • “Orphan Girl”/Interview/“Blackhawk”) • LIVE 1995 [RITY Archive] 

The song "Orphan Girl" was written by Gillian Welch. Emmylou's songs are wonderful as well :)

110% felt the same. Wrecking Ball is indeed a masterpiece. You’re brought on a blessed journey while listening. Theses songs stay with you. I wonder how many people recognize what they just heard. Tough gig to interview these giants in a format like this one. . I give her credit, she gave it her best shot. Check out Rick Beato interviews for the real deal.

brady blade his brother. family connection to lanois, so cool...

I know I freely give out free-energy in authentic complements. But no one sings of the Graces of Holy Ghost like Emmylou. does.

And sure what’s wrong with looking Mickey Rourke? He was a fine-looking fellow in his youth, though I didn’t think much of him the first and only time I met him. Myself and a friend, two recent visitors to New York from Ireland, were on a boat that steamed around Manhattan and Irish music played for the heaps of Irish and nearly Irish people on board. It was a fundraiser of course, and it is possible that Rourke was one of the attractions. My friend nearly swooned when she saw him. “Mickey Rourke, Irene!” I look where she is pointing and see two average-looking white guys. I don’t know which of the two is Mickey Rourke, but it doesn’t matter. Then Maggie says, “I would love to have a photo of him, but I’m too shy to ask him.” “I’ll ask him”, said I, and off I went, approached the two guys and said, “which of you two gentlemen is Mickey Rourke? My friend over there would like a photo please.” Both guys looked a bit cross, but the one who then looked a little abashed I took to be Rourke, because the other fellow had given me a look of disgust, as if to say, “you have some nerve!” Well, Rourke, modestly enough, stood for a photo, and I went back to Maggie. Was he too shy to approach her and allow her to be photographed with him? Like, it woodenah killed him! Never mind. Now when I see an old image of a young Mickey Rourke, I can appreciate his beauty; years ago I couldn’t because coming from the homogeneity of Ireland, I was attracted only to people who looked very un-Irish, so Mickey Rourke had nothing going for him, he was just like the lads at home.

@@irenemax3574 Great story, Irene. I meant the Mickey Rourke comparison as a compliment. I still remember sitting in a movie theater in early Sept. 1981 and watching his scene-stealing performance in "Body Heat," and then a year later he did the same in "Diner." He was the very definition of "cool" on the big screen.
