All of which reminds me, I should probably talk up one of her albums in this 'ere thread sometime soon.

Oh yes, I would love to see a review of Emmylou Harris'. I really enjoy what I
have heard of hers, but am limited greatly on any real knowledge of her- and her music in general. I've heard a lot about
Elite Hotel but have yet to give it a listen.

Funny you should mention Willie being no actor, as I can't remember any musician who's consistently as spellbinding on the silver screen as they are behind a pair of stereo speakers. Tom Waits' performance as Renfield in Dracula was quite good (unfortunately the rest of the film was awful), and David Bowie did so well in his lead role in Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence (one of my favourite ever war movies that). As for most of the rest of the films I've seen him in, it was like watching a chair giving the odd monologue every now and then.
Anyway, nice short 'n' sweet review that. As soon as I'm over the Dead Can Dance bender I'm on now, I'll have a look for it

And it turns out even worse sometimes when they put actors in the music industry! Yet it seems as though they insist on doing it anyway. Thank you for your kind words but I have to say, I'm a little embarrased at my last review- it was pretty damn sloppy and vague. To be honest I'm a lot less knowlegable in the classic country music area than I thought, as I am running out of reviews quickly! But I'm working on another that I'm pretty excited about. We'll see how it turns out though
