I just picked this up last week and have to agree. This one's going to be
in my top 10 unless this year is just a blockbuster. This is the first time
Olney produced himself, and the result is his best studio album ever.
I read somewhere that Emmylou was going to record and release Olney's
"1917" on her next album. She could absolutely nail that song. Anyone
have info on when she's due to release something new?
