  • Emmylou Harris performs "Red Dirt Girl" live at Farm Aid 2005 at the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois on September 18, 2005. Get this concert on DVD at: FarmAid.org/2005DVD
    Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp founded Farm Aid in 1985 and serve on the board of directors. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America.
    Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's Board of Directors in 2001 to help further Farm Aid's mission of keeping family farmers on their land.

    I have been a huge fan of Emmylou since 1980 and she is definitely my favorite singer. A strange thing happened today. I was sitting in a parking lot listening to the Red Dirt Girl CD which I have not really listened to much. I sat and listened to this song and it really hit me deep down. How had I missed it that this is truly a musical work of genius, both in songwriting and performance? The truly great ones can use music and lyrics to reach deep down into our heart and soul. What a blessing to the world she is.

    Ms. Harris may never escape her beauty or the compulsion of the rest of us to comment on it. Between God and her gene pool, she’s been gifted that blessing and curse. What is more subtle and far more impactful and so much more powerful are her values, talent, dedication to beautiful causes. This song easily is one of my favorites by any artist and she sings the story so well that her voice echoes the melody and lyric between my ears long after she’s done singing.

She has written a few good songs but nearly all of her best recordings were whiny someone else. There is nothing wrong with that. She’s a superb vocalist.
