Emmylou Harris

It’s hard to believe, but Emmylou has had a career as full of twists, turns, and total self-reinvention as Madonna. No, wait, she’s had way more—and she’s been a national treasure for twice as long. Only in recent years have more people come to the realization that this woman is all that. Thanks to the remarkable “Three Divas” series, we now have flashbacks that send us back to the mid-70s, when she sang backup on Bob Dylan’s Desire. Remember “One More Cup of Coffee?” How about “Joey?” Yup, that was Emmylou. She’s always shined her brightest as an equal partner in a duet or a trio, but we certainly wouldn’t miss this solo performance, where she’ll give us a taste of the bluegrass, pop, country, rock, and soul that fall out of her songbook like so many gilded petals.
