Product Description After years of promise, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and Linda Ronstadt return with Trio II, the follow-up to their 1987 platinum-selling critical smash Trio. These three superstars again deliver a collection of stellar acoustic Country, Blues and Pop performances the likes of which made the original Trio recording unforgettable.Certified Gold by the RIAA. (11/01) Amazon.com This long-awaited, highly anticipated follow-up to 1987's much-loved initial Trio offering doesn't disappoint. On Trio II, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, and Dolly Parton weave a spell that's equal parts traditional and contemporary, country and folk, vision and voice. It's their seamless musical blend of these counterpoints--as in the sweet, sweeping harmonies on Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush" or the instrumentally spare acoustic presentation of the Carter Family's "Lover's Return"--that makes these songs such treasures. When individual voices soar and fuse together to create distinct new voices, when instinct leads the way for artistry to follow, the result is perfect harmony, pure magic. --Alexandra Russell Review The celestial threesome's first album, one of the best of the late '80s, is a tough act to follow. Cut in '94 and long unreleased, Trio II comes about 75 percent of the way. -- Entertainment WeeklyThe trio's sound still seems as bright, fresh, and harmonically rich as a rainbow. -- People
