EMMYLOU HARRIS

Anthology: The Warner/Reprise Years

$31.98 CD

Gorgeous-voiced Emmylou Harris’ three-decade journey as an interpreter and distinctive stylist has resulted in some of the most satisfying sounds in contemporary music. Indeed, Harris has mastered the depth and breadth of the American roots songbook like no other artist. Born in Alabama in 1947 and raised in Virginia, she was "discovered" by members of The Flying Burrito Brothers, who saw her perform in a Washington, D.C. club. They hooked her up with soon-to-be ex-Burrito Gram Parsons, who hired her to sing on his first solo album, GP, in 1972, and his follow-up, Grievous Angel, the following year. Since then, Harrris has evolved from duet partner to keeper of the flame, from sweetheart of the rodeo to bluegrass champion to alt-country godmother.  

Spanning 1975-1990, the 2-CD Anthology: The Warner/Reprise Years celebrates Harris’ solo beginnings, her stint with the ever-changing Hot Band, and later collaborative highlights. It features duets (Roy Orbison, Don Williams), a trio (Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt), as well as backing performances from some of the top names in country and rock—including Vince Gill, Waylon Jennings, Ricky Scaggs, Rodney Crowell, James Burton, Duane Eddy, Mark O’Connor, Ry Cooder, David Lindley, and Kate McGarrigle.
