I have all these Emmylou albums on my hard drive, picked up cheap at one time or another; Thirteen is one of them, from 1986. I wouldn't say it's particularly distinguished, but nonetheless, nice - and, well, listening to her sing, it never gets old. I can hear a lot of Patty Griffin on this one - although, of course, it's actually the other way around, with Griffin's career not having started till the 90s - and the trace of Harris' early career collaborations with Gram Parsons is legible, too, on straightforward but likeable cuts like "Sweetheart of the Pines".
