Emmylou Harris's US tour is now heading down the West Coast, bringing songs from her latest album, All I Intended to Be, and throughout her varied career, from Seattle to San Diego. After her performance at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo last Thursday night, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer pointed to everything from the "outstanding vocal harmonies" to what reviewer Bill White termed "hot and tasty instrumental rides" featured in the live set.
