Emmylou Harris - Luxury Liner Lyrics

I only hear sound on the left channel! What am I missing?

Albert Lee .... absolutely the Greatest underrated guitarist of all time. The man is funamimal on any instrument he decides to play... and he clearly doesn't get enough credit for being a great guitarist.

Emmylou said, "When I look back on my career, I'll can say that I played rhythm guitar for Albert Lee".

No better

There is a reason they were called the HOT BAND.

Absolutey love this, there would be no other female singer around who carry this song like EmmyLou. She is the greatest

Two words: Albert Lee!

Best picking I've heard in a long time.

Albert is amazing.

Perfection

Albert Lee and Roy Buchanan... they could make the telecaster sound like a symphony orchestra. Where does such giftedness originate from?

That girl and this band = awesome

THAT is a hot band. And Albert Lee is one of the greatest guitarists ever.

When country ROCKED!

🎶🎵🎷🎻🥁🎤📯🎼

She told them she wanted to cut an album. They told her she'd have to get a hot band to back her. So she went out and got THE hot band...

somewhere in the afterlife, Gram Parsons is saying -"darn, did I mess up"

GP told her to hire the best musicians. Emmylou was listening.

What a sound! Greatness.

Hey! They're all all great!! No lie.

They told her they wouldn't record her unless she found a "hot band" to back her up. She brought THE Hot Band.

Albert Melted everyone's face off with that one.

This is Top Trumps in several categories

F-ing Albert Lee! My God, he wears me out!

Love Emmy lou

Scorching. So many people have never even heard of Albert Lee. Or they say " oh yeah, the guy from Ten Years After". Never mind friend! Such a kick-ass song. If that doesn't get you going, you're already long gone.

have a listen to Nicky Blaum

Albert wrote the book!

BEST GUITAR AND BASS PLAYER EVER.

Man this was some kind of band.....

Wow. That was more than special. I'm stunned by Albert Lee's playing. Sustained, high-speed, playing with clean notes and it's totally musical.

Wonders why so few actually watched this video. She is such a great icon!

Albert you are FUCKING genius on that guitar!!!

Best country rock musicians ever, and at their exact prime. Lee is incredible. But one thing everyone should know, this was Gram Parson's would-have-been band if he had lived. He wrote this song. He and Emmy Lou could have been the greatest duo, but really-really tragically he OD'ed right before this. Emmy Lou took over like Dickie Betts taking over for Duane Allman, they were both equally great. They probably would have gotten married too if Gram had kicked the habit and lived. Heroin killed both Duane and Gram plus many others. Stay away from it. But thank God for for Emmy Lou, and Dickie Betts too.

Albert Lee, man. Albert Flipping Lee.

This is so good,last few years seen Rodney a few times ,solo, 3 guitars,his band, also with Emmylou. She and Rodney did a bunch of Gram to start ,total Bliss .Albert also played the www.mim.org with his band , tore it up! So much great music !

Why did the guys in the band outcasted Harris when soloing? she's been outcasted in almost every live video on youtube. I mean, she's the country star, play and connect with her!

You know there is a lot of theses ppl that played and maid her fav,,,,that ppl dont even know about.....They where great at what they done..

watched albert open for eric in heads,hands,and feet
'78 or so..then he came back out and joined eric in his set
saw him in vegas in a club 2000 or so
we are both RD50 freaks (music man)
NAMM in ernie ball booth
touched my life/mind YOU BET

Hearts. Hearts. Hearts. Greatness. I wanna dance, I wanna swing. Goodness.

Pablo Escobar n Pedal Steel Guitar!

And homage to the big Burrito in the sky Gram Parsons. THis would have been his band with Emmy and him singing duets.

Apologies,Albert Lee is not from Ten Years After. But who cares? Watch it again. what a video, what a moment. The best of the best in country musiac hands down, nobody ever beat this.

Albert - the "Telecaster king" - Lee!

Albert Lee is one of the reasons why I try to play with a cleaner sound, his accuracy and smooth string acrobatics are inspiring.

makes me wanna pop a benny and get them big wheels rollin' all night long through the nevada desert

Country music never gets any better than this, right here, and ode to Gram Parsons who wrote it and would have been there if he had lived. yes and Albert Lee is the best Bakersfield picker ever, though influenced by James Burton. CLarence White and others. he was the head of Ten Years After the British rock band I liked as a 13 year old. Then he just went country and boy did he nail it. But Emmy Lou, this is Queen Of The Rodeo all right.

William Nelson Wrong Lee. It was Alvin not Albert in Ten Years After.

Got it. I always wondered about that. Both super fast guitarists though. What are the odds? Albert lee is a true freak of musical nature. He outpicks the Scruggs, doc Watson and James Burton and is a Brit.

Holy Shite! I hurt my neck watching This! Awesome!

Have seen this several times, and all I can say is...Wow...if you want to see the definition of Telecaster playing at it's best, watch Albert Lee in this video...even Emmylou was reacting with awe and joy to his performance here

Jesus, absolute perfection.

What a band that was! Fabulous!!

Albert in his prime..

Love this lady so much! A real beauty and song bird!❤️❤️❤️

I was listening to this in the background (rather than watching) and the guitar lead came on and I thought "'Albert Lee". Sure enough. Hot stuff.

THis proves the best country artists ever are long hairs. Especially this band, the best ever.

I still love this....the greatest band there ever was...love them all...albert lee is the best guitar picker there ever has been....the hot band is the best ever.

Albert Lee is absolutely amazing!

Don't you get the impression that Emmy Lou is just the Warm-up for Albert? Not that I'm complaining........

Most everybody recognizes her talent; less recognized but just as important is her good taste. Emmylou Harris knew who the great musicians were, and she got 'em.

Ladies and gentlemen, that's how a band is supposed to sound. A.L makes it looks so easy, there ought to be a law.

Emmylou´s best band ever: the "Hot Band".

Fantastic Albert Lee!

The HOT BAND apropos named, & as good as any then & now. Smokin'.-!!!

God damn that is some fine guitar playing

Al Perkins?

Hank DeVito. Ooops.

Caught her with this band backing her in Santa Barbara in 1977! Eat yer hearts out kiddies haha!

stand back, lovers!

Wow! Such a great performance. Love the music

Is Albert really that skinny?

Jaysus, that is good

That kicked ass.

Just curious: What kind of "liner" is "40 tons"? A cruise ship is WAY heavier than that, an airplane is way lighter... a truck would be lighter...

emmylou living country music legend and another legend albert lee

How many categories is this Top Trumps in? I'll start off with male seventies hairdo (Rodney)

What planet is Albert from?! Oh yea.. England. Doesn't make sense to me but the proof is in the blood pudding.

My favorite Emmylou performance. It's got everything going on to make it perfect. Albert Lee's guitar solo is outstanding.

i was on the road in those days. this song kept me alive...

Wow, jaw-dropping still after all those years, saw them live many times, so glad we can see it now.

I'm an old hippie heavy metal rocker but damn!!!! this is the shit!✌💜

WTF albert lee is fkin insane!! Easily in top 3 best guitarists ever?!?!?

Jayyysus, it’s got to be the most amazing country guitar solo ever! Mr. Albert Lee!

And Albert is one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet...unpretentious, a real gentleman.....one of my favorite musicians of all time

Who are the 13 morons who gave this a thumbs down 👎

Fabulous ensemble performance....voice, harmonies, pedal steel and Albert's terrific Tele.........

Albert Lee is THE MAN!

Are Albert Lee and Alvin Lee ( Ten Years After ) related? Food for thought, eh?

Yes, they are both cousins of Spike Lee and Jason Scott Lee

I knew it. You are a walking encyclopedia. Thanks so much

He's also related to Pornstar Floozy Lee

hotajax
Your all wrong it's the cake queen,Sara Lee.

Albert Lee, world class

best ever

beside Glen Campbell and roy clark jerry reed

What a freaking joke! None of them can tie Albert's shoe laces.

I used to love the Old Grey Whistle Test. All live with no auto tune, miming or dancing about half naked! Just pure musical talent!

Not so sure about the miming; there was plenty of that. Not this excerpt of course but many of the "live" acts which did a couple of numbers on an episode were often suspiciously over-instrumentated (such as rod clements of lindisfarne playing a violin solo whilst the bass round his neck which he's taken his hands off continues to pump it out - and many more) It was a good show overall but not quite always what it seemed.

Catch up with Rodney on NPR-Tiny Desk Concerts! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjqQLTCU5fU

Does anyone know where Dave Boust is? He can hang with Albert Lee.

Jerry Reed Glen Campbell and Albert Lee SMOKIN GUITAR

How about that old Hagstrom Bass!??

That's Emory Gordy Jr... he ended up marrying Patty Loveless.

@lying to the moon I thought that that bass might be a Hagstrom. On a side note Hagstrom made the pickups for Guild for their Star Fire basses.

If you have not listened to Gram Parsons version please do so , it's a bit slower and a bit better , well at least I think it is after all he wrote it plus the fact it only has under 11,000 hits is just plain wrong.

Yep, I did. And I meant it.

I know of her album titled "Gliding Bird" (I think) that was before Gram. She hates it. I used to have it, but gave it to someone for a Christmas gift (long story).

I don't know if there's another one before that - if so I wasn't aware of it.

I tend to think she might not be as well known  as she has become without Gram. I was under the impression these gigs she was picking up around DC were mostly coffee shops or bars, that type of venues. I don't know if she could have made enough to support herself and her daughter.

I also think she was the one that made their tour successful. She made them practice, insisting on setting times for it.

You've mentioned B to B and Tulsa Queen, both of which I love. But currently I have The Ballad of Sally Rose in my car CD player. It's been there for about 6 months now. I absolutely love just about everything on it. She has admitted that it was a concept album based on her relationship with Gram. I think it's just about her best work but was a commercial flop. I have a feeling though, that it might be coming around again.
Maybe when it was released in the mid-80s it was just too soon.

I just looked at Amazon and found "Gliding Bird" on vinyl for $5.99. There are apparently two album covers. One is the blue background with her picture on it (the one I gave away), the other I've been seeing a lot lately, where she had on a big red hat with a feather.

Just FYI.

@Peggy Miller Is Gliding Bird the Folk Music Album she released that never went anywhere? I'd really like to hear it. I'll look for it on Youtube but you would think I'd have come across it in all these years if it was. To bad you gave the Album away especially if it was the Original Press from her first Label it would not have been worth a Fortune but probably worth more then $5.95 that's probably a Re-issue . Thanks. Cj

Yes, it is. I haven't run across it on YouTube but it could be here.

 I'm kind of sorry now that I gave it away. It was during my first marriage. We had a very good friend, he always gave us and our children something for Christmas.

My ex didn't/wouldn't ? work so I had no money to buy Christmas gifts. This friend was a bachelor at the time and a huge E. Harris fan. It seems I ran across the album in a used record store and our friend was so impressed with it because he'd never been able to find it. So when Christmas came, I wrapped it up and gave it to him.

A BIT STRANGE that I'm listening to this almost 1 year to the day I was last year....must be my yearly Emmylou Luxury Liner Fix......Great Song but can be a bit overwhelming during Lee's Solo and I get a tiny bit embarrassed for E.H. when she pulls out that Tambourine ......She should leave that instrument to Stacy Partridge or one of the other Legendary Tambourine players...There were So many !! Maybe Josie or whichever Pussycat had one....Can't be 100% sure but one of em' must have....Davey Jones? Betty?

Not called "The Hot Band" for nuthin'!

Goodness gracious, now that is what a Telecaster is supposed to sound like!!!

a good guitar sounds like the driver. Both Albert Lee and Jeff Beck drove it well.

And of course Jimi.

If you know how to use it ;-) (There's a reason Julian Lage still plays a '54.)

It’s easy to miss between Emmylou and Albert Lee’s brilliance but Emery Gordy is serving up the low end hot as well.

Those old tele maple fretboards just have a snap that other guitars lack.

Albert Lee all talent, no ego

what is wrong with Albert here...there is some thing wrong...no one is that good...seriously, he is on fire,  I don't think any one has seriously come close since....genius

+Dom Brace He's been practising a bit since then...
