After introducing her country-rock recipe on Pieces of the Sky, Emmylou Harris returned later in 1975 with a strikingly similar sophomore effort that continued to blend traditional and contemporary elements. Here she revisits three tunes from the pen of old friend Gram Parsons, including "Sin City" and "Wheels," two of his most enduring compositions. However, she really struck it big by interpreting two of country music's most recognizable standards--Buck Owens's "Together Again" and Don Gibson's "Sweet Dreams" (a huge hit for Patsy Cline)--riding them both to the top of the country charts. Not many artists could handle both a Beatles ballad and a Hank Williams honky-tonker--not many would even want to--but Harris's diamondlike voice can be beautiful and translucent or sharp and cutting. --Marc Greilsamer

It is hard to write a review for each one of Emmylou's albums, because all of her music is really good!
so just put on your headphone and enjoy it!!!
And if you listened to the samples without headphones and weren't impressed, put on your headphones and listen again!!
This One's A Winner And You Don't Have To Head Out To Las Vegas To Find Out Why! November 25, 2008
Several things will surely jump out at you immediately after your first listen. First off the song selections...From Gram Parson's "Ooh Las Vegas" To "Wheels" to Buck Owens classic "Together Again" and fianally to Lennon McCartney's "Here There And Everywhere".....Sprinkle in a few tried and true country jewels like George Jones "Feelin' Single Actin' Double" and Don Gibson's "Sweet Dreams' and you know you're in for a rare treat. Pieces of The Sky, Emmylou's debut album was a fine outing for the shy young Alabama native. Elite Hotel solidified her credintials as a bonified contemporary country songbird.
I've enjoyed this wonderful old record for years and rejoice finding it reissued in great sounding, clean crisp digitized format. It takes me back to the good ole' days of stacking up my old vinly turntabe with Emmylou, The Byrds and Buritos, New Riders, Arlo Guthrie and Poco. Turn out the lights....Cue up "One Of These Days" and let Emmylou take you back to a kinder, gentiler and decidedly more innocent day. This one's a winner and you don't need to head to out Las Vegas to find out why!
 Sweet Dreams July 16, 2008
Emmylou's sensational "Pieces of the Sky" is followed by a great album "Elite Hotel". It's a great album but not as good as "Pieces...". There are many great classics such as "Together Again" and "Here, There And Everywhere". I know that many think this is a classic but for me it hasn't opened me that well yet. I have listened to it more than ten times but "Sin City" and "Wheels" sound still a little bit monotonic. However, Emmylou has a beautiful voice, and no matter what you may think, she is a super country star. There's three songs recorded live: "Ooh Las Vegas", "Sweet Dreams", and "Jambalaya". They all sound good, and I think it was a great idea to record those songs live. When you listen to songs like "Together Again" and "Satan's Jewel Crown", you can be sure that no one can create such a feeling as she. A great recording but Emmylou has even better albums.

Elite Hotel - Emmylou Harris June 8, 2007
I recently drove 200 miles from NJ to Baltimore, MD just to see Emmylou Harris in concert. This is one of her many 'Best' CD's. Not a 'best of'
collection but simply a CD with all keepers for songs. I strongly recommend this CD.
It was delivered in 2 days with free shipping(I purchased her first five CD's).
Top Notch Second Album! April 23, 2007
Emmylou Harris is one of my "Top Three" along with Patsy Cline and Tammy Wynette. When you hear any of the three, you know who you are listening to. Elite Hotel, from 1975, was her second solo album after being with the late Gram Parsons. During the period of the mid-late 70's Emmylou's voice was at it's peak, and her "Hot Band" was full of top-notch musicians, two who played in Elvis' band, and several up-and-comers, including Rodney Crowell and Ricky Skaggs, who plays on later recordings.
I love this album because it has various styles of music. My personal favorites on this CD include: Together Again (wonderful instrumentation), One of These Days, Satan's Jewel Crown, and Wheels. My #1 song would have to be Rodney Crowell's "Till I Gain Control Again". You have to be in a certain mood, but it's just a killer song.
