Her career spanning nearly 40 years, Emmylou Harris boasts a unique brand of sweet country that has earned her acclaim from critics and audiences alike. The unmatched Emmylou has won 12 Grammy Awards, released seven number one country singles and 14 Top Ten country albums, and collaborated with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Sheryl Crow, Dave Matthews, Elvis Costello, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan. Often crossing “genre lines and bringing her songs a pristine, idealized rural sensibility,” according to the New York Times, Emmylou Harris has brought her distinguished voice and songwriting sensibility to over 25 albums and millions of people around the globe.
“I’ve always seen myself as a relentless songfinder,” says Harris, “A singer of other people’s work whom I admire greatly, and an occasional songwriter.” An extensive touring schedule – hitting the road with Neil Young and Elvis Costello, performing live with Mark Knopfler, and traveling with Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin, and Buddy Miller for the “Three Girls and a BuddyTour” – has often kept Harris from the studio, but the country star has still managed to release Songbird, a boxed set of rarities, and All I Intended To Be, her first album since 2003.
