Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE This is a rare, official promotional DVD. It features the entire 45 minute concert. The DVD comes sealed inside a plain jewel case. The DVD is in mint condition. See my other items for another rare Emmylou Harris DVD “Three Girls and their Buddy.” If you want to legitimize your band in the pantheon of rock and roll, you can do a whole lot worse than a duet with Emmylou Harris. The silver-haired songwriter’s discography includes collaborations with Roy Orbison, Willie Nelson and Neil Young, and her contributions to albums by Bob Dylan and Gram Parsons are legendary. She’s also given the younger generation her seal of approval by way of her harmonies, blending her unmistakable voice with artists like Bright Eyes, The Low Anthem and Dylan LeBlanc. You can now add Mumford & Sons to that list. On Crossroads, the massively popular British folk band teamed with Harris for an incredible show; including songs from their debut Sigh No More and their brand new album Babel. But it was more than just a chance for them to play up their own music; it was a learning experience for them as well. They became Harris’ backup band for staples like “If I Needed You,” “The Road” and “Orphan Girl,” which Marcus Mumford said was “a dream come true.” If it wasn’t for the O Brother, Where Art Thou? Soundtrack (which features Harris) they explained, Mumford and Sons may have never had a career in the first place. Their union was made even sweeter with the addition of slide and dobro master Jerry Douglas, who joined the band throughout the evening. You can hear their first collaboration on Douglas’s latest album, a cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Boxer.” Later, Harris helped turn Sigh No More’s “Awake My Soul” into Americana canon with her storied vocals. Hell, they should hire Emmylou Harris too. She completes them. As good as their voices sounded together, it might have been their conversations around a table that proved the most entertaining. The lads would ask her earnest questions about songwriting and maintaining a career without losing your soul, and Harris would either answer with a pearl of hard-earned wisdom, or a joke. “What do you call 100 banjos at the bottom of the ocean? A good start,” she blasphemed. Here's the set list: "The Cave" (Mumford & Sons song) "If I Needed You" (Emmylou Harris) "Where Are You Now" (Mumford & Sons) "My Name Is Emmitt Till" (Emmylou Harris) "The Road" (Emmylou Harris) "Nothing Is Written" (Mumford & Sons) "Awake My Heart" (Mumford & Sons) "Orphan Girl" (Emmylou Harris) "The Boxer" (Simon & Garfunkel)
