Análisis (en inglés) :
{@Rhino}'s double-disc {^Anthology} concentrates on {$Emmylou Harris}' {@Reprise} recordings, which is a blessing. Once she left {@Reprise}, she started to delve into "experimental," "atmospheric" recordings a bit too heavily, certainly more than her prior recordings would justify, and it almost obscured her purest talents -- that of a singer that carried on the tradition of, say, {$Patsy Cline}, becoming the greatest country singer of her generation. Since her generation was the {\rock} generation, her path crossed multiple times with singers that weren't strictly {\country}, most notably at the beginning of her career, when she sung backing and harmony vocals for the incomparable {$Gram Parsons}. This gave her exposure, and she capitalized upon it by turning in recordings that simultaneously appealed to {\rock} and {\country} artists, finding herself as a tremendous interpretive singer, somebody that perfectly balanced the divide between classic and contemporary. {@Rhino}'s double-disc {^Anthology} perfectly captures that balance and if it has any faults, it's that it illustrates her career a little too well, finding that her classicist approach was as modern as it was reverent. So, there are moments here that seem a little too studied to be true, but that's an accurate representation of her career, illustrating how she walked the tightrope between genuine {\country} and a scholarly interpretation of it. This will appeal to both factions, as it captures both sides of her personality equally well. That means it might not be the perfect choice to convert doubters, yet it still winds up representing {$Harris}' career remarkably well, perhaps being the one disc for casual fans. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
