　　Emmylou Harris is truly a modern musical innovator. In 20 years, Harris has flowed effortlessly between genres achieving popularity in pop, folk, country and now alternative. The common bridge is an exquisite vocal style and a gift for discovering the heart of a song.
She was born in Birmingham, Alabama and grew up near Washington, D.C. As a college student in the late '60s, she sang with a local folk duo and eventually moved to Greenwich Village. She played the clubs on the local folk scene occasionally sharing the stage with Jerry Jeff Walker and David Bromberg. Eventually she paired with Gram Parsons, a country-rock pioneer.

　　Emmylou Harris has achieved seven No. 1 and Top 10 hits including "If I Could Only Win Your Love," "Together Again," "Sweet Dreams," Making Believe," "To Daddy," "Heartbreak Hill," and "Heaven Only Knows." She has earned 7 Grammys, 8 Gold Albums and her 1987 Trio Album with Linda Rondstadt and Dolly Parton is Platinum-Plus.

　　In 1995, Emmylou Harris relesased Wrecking Ball, produced by Daniel Lanois (Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, U2). Clearly a veteran in turning out hit records, Emmylou says, "I feel like I've had sort of a musical renaissance with Wrecking Ball, and I'm ready to go for another twenty years."
