Emmylou Harris (born April 2, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, bandleader and activist. She is widely regarded as one of the key artists who shaped country rock in the 1970s and helped define the Americana genre in the 1990s. Her music bridged the gap between country and rock audiences, and her distinctive voice, musical approach and songwriting have been praised by critics and fellow musicians alike. Harris developed an early interest in folk music, which led her to begin performing professionally. After moving to New York City in the 1960s, she recorded a folk album and performed throughout the region. She was later discovered by Gram Parsons, whose influence guided her toward a country‑rock direction. Following Parsons’s death in 1973, Harris signed with Reprise–Warner Bros. and began her solo career. Her second album, Pieces of the Sky (1975), earned both critical acclaim and commercial success. A series of strong releases throughout the 1970s — including Elite Hotel (1976), Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town (1978) and Blue Kentucky Girl (1979) — further established her reputation. By 1980, Harris had achieved four number‑one hits on the U.S. and Canadian country charts: “Together Again,” “Sweet Dreams,” “Two More Bottles of Wine,” and “Beneath Still Waters.”
