Not everybody's cuppa tea (or, given the singer, whiskey),
but definitely mine. As I said before, I'm a sucker for
what Gram Parsons used to call "high mountain harmony,"
two or more voices taking old melodies and soaring into
the stratosphere with them. Few have ever done this as
well as Gram did on his album "Grievous Angel," singing
with the then-unknown Emmylou Harris. 

I'm a Roy Orbison fan, but even he admitted that this
is the best version of his song ever recorded:

The classic "road song,"...I just love Emmylou's rise
at the end:

A prayer, of sorts...with the ultimate Prodigal Son
singing in the choir alongside the angel:
