All Music Reviewby Zac Johnson

On her 29th album, Emmylou Harris continues the evolution from innocent 
folkie to present day renaissance woman. Alternately sparse and lush, Red 
Dirt Girl can be seen as a companion piece to 1995's Wrecking Ball with the 
production credits going to Malcom Burn (who previously worked with Harris 
engineering and mixing Wrecking Ball). Here, drum loops and middle eastern 
melodies nestle in comfortably next to warm guitar work and Harris' gently 
wavering voice. Her extensive guest work on dozens and dozens of recent 
releases (showing up on albums by everyone from Guy Clark to Midnight Oil) 
pays off with great help from Bruce Springsteen, Patti Scialfa, Buddy and 
Julie Miller, Guy Clark, Kate McGarrigle, and even alt-rock upstarts Dave 
Matthews and Luscious Jackson's Jill Cunniff. The diverse production only 
adds to Harris' earthy songwriting, adding interest to what could otherwise 
be lulls during the more subdued songs, and really showcases the 
understated lyrics that the singer has slowly become recognized for. The 
teary dirge "Bang the Drum Slowly" written for her father (who died in 1993) 
wrings with emotion and ethereal atmosphere, while "J'ai Fait Tout" 
(co-written with Cunniff) is an upbeat and jangly pop song, complete with 
hip-shakin' tambourine. While this is a big departure from her rootsy '70s 
releases like Blue Kentucky Girl and Roses in the Snow, it still burns with an 
honest intensity and clear voice that Harris is known for 20 years later.
