: :By 1977, Emmylou Harris's Hot Band had truly hit its stride, adding electric-guitar wizard Albert Lee to an already powerful core of Ricky Skaggs, Glen D. Hardin, Rodney Crowell, and Hank DeVito. Harris's mix of material remained eclectic, but surefire, with room for everybody from the Carter Family and the Louvin Brothers to Chuck Berry and Townes Van Zandt, who contributes his masterful 'Pancho & Lefty.' In addition to the requisite Gram Parsons tunes, Harris also gently tackles the country standard 'Making Believe.' --Marc Greilsamer

Cowgirl's Prayer
(more) »rank: 564363by: Emmylou Harris
: :Emmylou Harris has aged more gracefully than any other country artist (with the exception of Willie Nelson). 1993's Cowgirl's Prayer showcases this maturity in a collection of songs that share wisdom, offer forgiveness, make amends, and explore spirituality. As always, Harris's voice is angelic and sad, her phrasing languid and lonesome. Lucinda Williams's 'Crescent City' glows with tragic barroom neon while the classic 'You Don't Know Me' takes on a deeper meaning, as if sung perhaps to an old friend or a lost relative? And while spoken-word delivery often falls flat, 'Jerusalem Tomorrow' tells such a compelling story--and Harris's delivery is so knowing--that ...

Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions
(more) »rank: 1048515by: Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris
: :Emmylou Harris once said of her four-shows-a-night salad days that she refused to sing anything on the hit parade, opting only for 'bizarre, left-field songs' that 'made it hard to make a living.' Decades later, Harris still spends a lot of time in left field, and it's those offbeat, haunting gems--more than the classics here from Leonard Cohen or Jackson Browne--that make Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions, her duet album with Linda Ronstadt, so memorable. That, and her exquisitely pained soprano--reminiscent of 'cracked crystal,' as Linda puts it--nestled up against Ronstadt's thicker, corduroy harmonies. With arrangements that meet somewhere between Harris's Wrecking Ball ...

All the Roadrunning

:Album Description:For several years, the iconic Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris have been quietly recording a remarkable collection of duets whenever the Grammy winning artists could steal away from their own illustrious careers. The extraordinary result is All the Roadrunning. The songs from their Nashville sessions, all originals, while undeniably modern, have the appeal of classics, whether country, Celtic flavored or gently soulful. All the Roadrunning is Knopfler & Harris making music and, as the lyric for 'This is Us' puts it, making history. :Over the last seven years, Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris quietly recorded an album by stealing 'a few precious ...
