It was a return to her country roots for Linda Ronstadt when she joined forces with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris for the 1987 album "Trio." Dolly and Emmylou, of course, had never drifted far from country, even as they crossed over to pop success. What made "Trio" such a triumphant success was the blending of these beautiful voices in breathtaking harmony and their sheer joy in coming together over songs by Jimmie Rodgers, Anna & Kate McGarrigle, Dolly & Porter Wagoner and some time-honored traditional, too. "Trio II" garnered equally ardent acclaim 12 years later, and the two albums collectively won three well-deserved Grammys and sold more than five million copies. The good news here begins with the fact that Emmylou produced these remastered reissues of their Top 10 country hits "To Know Him Is to Love Him," "Telling Me Lies," "Those Memories of You" and "Wildflowers" plus "After the Gold Rush," "Feels Like Home," "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind," "When We’re Gone, Long Gone" and the rest of the original LPs. Go for the three disc edition to add 20 additional tracks both rare ("Mr. Sandman," "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues," alternate takes of "Wildflowers," "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind," "Making Plans," "My Dear Companion" and more) and unreleased ("Waltz Across Texas Tonight," "Lover’s Return," "Softly and Tenderly," "Pleasant As May," "My Blue Tears," "Handful of Dust" and more). Stick with the single disc version for a distilled selection, collecting 14 of Trio’s best tracks. One of the most magical collaborations in country or anywhere else, celebrated in comprehensive fashion! Rhino.
