Emmylou's Four Star Hotel
Barbara Charone, NME, January 1976
THE ELITE HOTEL is a swell place. It's best to travel there by car on a hot, sunny day with the windows rolled down, a sticky breeze blowing through your hair, and the radio turned up full blast, C & W favourites merging with the tinny highway jingle-jangle. Travel by this route prepares the visitor for a real good time.
