Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris - Across The Border

Happy birthday to Linda Ronstadt who's 66 today. She and her equally golden-voiced friend Emmylou Harris recorded an album called Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions in 1999, and it's from that record we find today's song. Romstadt is of course first and foremost an interpreter of other people's songs, and here's one by Bruce Springsteen. She sings an absolutely stunning version of "Across The Border", originally from Springsteen's The Ghost Of Tom Joad album (1995), with outstanding back-up vocals from Emmylou. Wow!
