  • Overall:

    Good overview, but ....

    By Ron F  Apr 4, 2000

    This set is a good overview of Emmylou's Reprise years, and offers a solid sampling of her beautiful and memorable work, from the duets with Gram Parsons to her emergence as a Nashville icon in the '80's. The only problem is the relative paucity of ...unreleased material. There are only a handful of previously unreleased tracks, plus a few others that are no longer available on CD. A few more rarities would have made this collection an essential purchase. Unless your a completist, you can probably live without this collection if you already have most or all of her previous releases. Read more Less

  • All Music Guide

    Portraits is a threedisc, 61track box set covering Emmylou Harris' entire career for Reprise and Warner Records, which spans from 1974 to 1992. Not only does the box select highlights from classic albums like Luxury Liner, Roses in the Snow, and Blue Kentucky Girl, but it also features her early duets with Gram Parsons and selections from the Trio album she recorded with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt. Portraits doesn't dwell too long on unreleased material there are only five unearthed tracks on the entire set preferring to sketch out a full overview of her career. While there might be a few favorite tracks missing, the box nevertheless fulfills its goals quite nicely anyone looking for a comprehensive compilation of Emmylou's career will not be disappointed.
