All I Intended to Be finds Emmylou Harris returning to her country/folk roots, even working with Brian Ahern who produced her early records, without giving up the maturity of talent and age that she's found since then. "Gold" is probably the stand-out song on this album and is backed with vocals from Dolly Parton and Vince Gill. It's her beautiful voice and heartfelt songs that carry
All I Intended to Be along with the nod to her past. All Music says, "And as always, the most memorable thing about
All I Intended to Be is Emmylou Harris' voice; there are few singers in any genre with a greater natural skill and better instincts, and as wonderful as these songs are and as fine a band as she and Ahern have on hand, it's her glorious voice that turns these simple materials into gold, and she only improves with the passage of the years."
CD released June 10, 2008.
