The well received Luxury Liner reflected the vocal talent of country-rock singer Emmylou Harris at the height of her popularity. This would be relatively short lived as future albums charted appreciably lower. (US:21 UK:17)
“This album showcases the amazing voice that Emmylou Harris is blessed with, stunningly beautiful. It offers both the rock side of country; see for example the opening and title track Luxury Liner and the more gentle side of the genre. There is also uplifting songs such as I'll Be Your San Antonio Rose. This is just great, entertaining music.”
“A masterpiece of beautiful, sad, ethereal country music. Everything from the urgent, frenetic title track to the wistful and roaming Tulsa Queen is worthwhile. I relate to these lovelorn songs way too much these days, but there is a spiritual stillness to some of the slow ones that seems to heal all.”
“Of all the early period Emmylou albums I own, this may be my favourite. It’s a mix of songs that's a little bit more attractive, a band that's just a little bit hotter, a singer that's just a little bit more involved.”
“Traditional country music isn’t one of my preferred genres, but if more artists chose material and sang as well as Emmylou Harris that would change in a hurry. Luxury Liner has a near perfect mix of traditional country, progressive country and country-rock music. All of the songs hold up well.”
“It’s simply a timeless set of American music by an ensemble of rising young stars who were on fire with creativity. Luxury Liner was the vehicle that allowed Emmylou Harris and the Hot Band to show the world the amazing complexity and greatness of their musical soul.”
“For anyone who hasn't heard the phenomenon that is Emmylou Harris' clear-blue bell-like young voice, this disc will tilt you back like a mountain breeze on a June day.”
