Emmylou Harris: The '70s

Though Emmylou Harris enjoyed commercial and critical success in later stages of her career, her 1970s output remains absolutely seminal—a well-produced, ear-bending blend of traditional country with pop, rock, bluegrass, and more. Her heart shines through the sadness and the sing-alongs here, from the Townes Van Zandt, Chuck Berry, and Gram Parsons numbers to her own foolproof compositions.
