Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball



A new year hangover tends not to properly kick in til the 2nd I find. This seems like a perfect hangover song to me. It's got to be soothing and sad and this ticks both boxes. It also showcases Harris' voice wonderfully, a voice that I suspect is one of the wonders of the world. IT can convey a universe of suffering and joy in a single line. Neil Young, who wrote this song, must listen to this in delight because she makes it damn near perfect.
