RAREST OF THE RARE: EMMYLOU HARRIS "ALL THE KING'S HORSES," (A lullaby by John Guernsey). SUPER RARE 45 rpm RELEASED ON DC’s LOCAL SWEET BREEZE LABEL IN 1974 AND RECORDED UNDER THE PSEUDONYM HANNAH BROWN
You listen, you know it's Emmy Lou...
Issued as the John Guernsey Group featuring Hannah Brown, Tom Guidera & Gerry Mule. Additional backing by a very talented string quartet. This recording has been written up in the Goldmine Record Collector’s Magazine as an impossible to find recording, due to the fact there are so few copies in existance. And you won’t find this song on an Emmy Lou anthology or greatest hits recordings.
A genuine early recording of Emmylou, captured immediately before she signed with Warner Bros, and due to her pending contract, she pulled permission to use her real name. At the time, she was probably best known for her work with Gram Parsons. Not really a country tune, this enchanting lullaby is one of the most beautiful songs she’s ever recorded.
At the time, this record was a regional hit in the Washington, DC area, where she lived and was still performing. Alternative radio station WHFS, in Bethesda, MD, played the song regularly for months, as did other stations, and aired it occasionally for many years after the release. In fact the radio station would often play the flip side as well, which had nothing to do with Emmylou, but was the break song for one of DC’s most popular rock groups.
Flashback to the Washington, DC club scene, circa 1971-1974. Claude Jones, one of DC’s best known groups taking the stage at the Emergency, in Georgetown, sharing the limelight with Nils Lofgren's GRIN. Some of these musicians are backing Emmylou in this truely rare masterpiece.
This 45 rp single is unplayed and in near mint condition, with a pretty decent looking b&w picture sleeve and it even includes the b&w lyric insert.
