Emmylou is admired by many artists across many musical styles. She can sing virtually any style of music, and having a long successful career in music is a testament of her talents. Here I've tried to cover some of the Emmylou Harris popular songs out there.
Rodney Crowell actually wrote this song and Emmylou recorded it before ever meeting him. She made a request to meet him and on that day, invited him to play guitar in her band, which he accepted.
One of the earliest recording of this song is by The Carter Family back in 1933-1934. Emmylou covered the song for her 1980 album entitled Roses In The Snow.
Elite Hotel was the 2nd album from Emmylou Harris in 1975. The album contained a selection of songs from The Beatles, Buck Owens, Don Gibson, Hank Williams and others.
This is an old Drifters song from 1960. Emmylou covered the song in 1979 in a bluegrass format for her Blue Kentucky Girl album and had a top 10 country hit.
6. The Green Rolling Hills Of West Virginia Chords
This song was a track on Emmylou's album entitled Angel Band, which was a live acoustic album featuring Jerry Douglas, Vince Gill, Mark O'Connor, Carl Jackson and Emory Gordy Jr.
Emmylou has worked with many artists over the years across all styles and as she said in an interview, one song at a time.
She has won 14 Grammy Awards, 3 CMA Awards and 2 AMA Awards to date. There have been several Emmylou Harris Greatest Hits albums over the years so that should tell you something.
Her roots began in folk music being inspired by artists such as Joan Biaz, Bob Dylan, Buffy St Marie, Ian & Sylvia and Pete Seeger. Later on working with the late Gram Parsons, she got into the country music field.
Emmylou was on a drama scholarship to become an actress, but followed a bunch of hippies to Virginia Beach and then followed a career into music. A decision I'll bet she doesn't regret at all.
