"Red Dirt Girl" Emmylou Harris
"I think this was hovering over the highway and I "drove over it." I am very, very inspired by the sound of words, and the names of places are so melodic and beautiful. I was passing through Meridian on my way down to record in New Orleans and that's what started it." — Emmylou
Emmylou is a favorite. At 63 years old, she could still break up a happy home. Yeah, mine. I think it's that she likes dogs, too.
If you know a song that more prominently mentions our hometown, tell me and I'll swap it out. But, for now, "across the line and a little southeast of Meridian".
Great lyrics:
"But one thing they don't tell you about the blues
When you got em
You keep on falling cause there ain't no bottom
There ain't know end."

My daughter and I saw Emmy Lou at a music store in Nashville, and talked with her. She's a warm individual, as well as being so beautiful at her age.
