The retrospective The Very Best of Emmylou Harris: Heartaches & Highways was also released in 2005 on Rhino Entertainment. [2]

Emmylou Harris is truly a modern innovator. [...] After Gram died in 1973, Emmylou went back to the D.C. area and formed a country band, playing with them until her 1975 major label debut, Pieces of the Sky, when she formed the first version of the legendary Hot Band. [...] For over 30 years, Emmylou has flowed effortlessly between genres achieving popularity in pop, folk, country and now alternative. [3]

Her 1995 Wrecking Ball was a watershed album for her, combining several world-music elements with acoustic instruments, driving percussion, and a folk/roots flavor, and in general catching audiences by surprise, as Harris yet again reinvented her sound. [4]

On September 19, just weeks after the album sessions ended, Parsons’ fondness for drugs and alcohol finally caught up to him, and he was found dead in a hotel room outside of the Joshua Tree National Monument in California. [2]

Her next 3 releases (Elite Hotel, Luxury Liner and Quarter Moon in a Ten-Cent Town) made her an unquestioned country-rock leader, and since then Emmylou Harris has been regarded as a key figure in the movement that united rock audiences with country traditionalists. [4]

Blessed with a crystalline voice, a remarkable gift for phrasing, and a restless creative spirit, she traveled a singular artistic path, proudly carrying the torch of “cosmic American music” passed down by her mentor, Gram Parsons. [2]

Former Byrds member Chris Hillman, who had taken over the band after the departure of its founder Gram Parsons, was so impressed by Harris that he briefly considered asking her to join the band. [...] Instead, Hillman ended up recommending her to Parsons, who was looking for a female vocalist to work with on his first solo album, GP. [1]

There’s not one of those people that when get in real life with, when I get around the United States, and I’m not on camera that I actually dislike…They’re all genuinely wanting to be good people it’s just all of them need to change a little bit when the cameras turn on and change a little bit when there’s a whole lot of money at stake and change a little bit when you’ve been living in the conditions they make you live in for over a month. [...] Everything about me just kind of changed after I saw the world and met hundreds of thousands of people on appearance tours and speaking engagement tours and stuff like that. [...] But literally, I live in a different place in the city, I go to different kinds of nightclubs and bars, I take different kinds of classes. [...] I can honestly say, with the exception of my friends and family, every single aspect of my life has changed. [2]
