Forget the shag-carpet ambiance, ignore the sometimes dated country-lite arrangements, and just listen the the woman sing: Quarter Moon in a Ten-Cent Town is the sound of a great musical talent coming into her own. From beginning to end, Emmylou Harris's fourth album is a consistently satisfying, often transcendent example of all the things she's still doing right, nearly 30 years later - impeccable song selection, a heavenly soprano whose wobble just plays up its poignance, and the most important of all, faith. Harris believes in every song she puts across here, and that conviction shows. For more than just a way station on route to the traditional sounds of her later career, Quarter Moon is a masterwork in its own right. - Apple Music
