    Emmylou Harris 'Wrecking Ball - Outakes & Demos available from here.
    Outtakes from the 1995 album Wrecking Ball recorded at Woodland Studio, East Nashville, January 1995. Ex SBD stereo. Supposedly from a source close to producer Daniel Lanois.
    Few of the performances are actually demos; rather, they constitute rough mixes of songs recorded during sessions at Nashville Woodland studios, before the production moved onto Kingsway Studios. Three songs not found on the original album emerge - "Never Be Gold", the most traditional sounding number on the set, with moments that sound oddly like "Coat Of Many Colours"; the spookily spartan "Still Water", which producer Daniel Lanois himself recorded on Acadie; and Richard Thompson's "How Will I Ever Be Simple Again", presented with a martial backing that puts one in mind of Eliza Carthy's more eclectic moments. Why it never made the finished LP is a question we might never answer. (Absent from the disc are the album's "Where Will I Be", "Blackhawk" and "Going Back To Harlan".)
    Elsewhere, although the basic tracks are the same as the familiar LP versions, the presentation is vastly different, lacking backing vocals and an arsenal of overdubs.
    Harris's vocals are as raw as you've ever heard them, and all the more beautiful for it, aching with a vulnerability that is rarely given such free rein on her regular albums. Equally, stripping away the multiple layers that Lanois brought to the final album brings a whole new emotional element to the songs, a naked beauty that Harris herself had not really exercised since the underproduced days of Elite Hotel/Pieces Of The Sky. Compare the two versions of Wrecking Ball itself, and you decide which will haunt you longest."
