Emmylou Harris
Emmylou Harris is an American singer-songwriter who became one of country music's most influential figures from the 1970s onward.
Known for her crystalline soprano voice, she helped bridge traditional country with rock and folk, collaborating extensively with Gram Parsons before his death and later with artists like Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt as the trio.
Her albums *Pieces of the Sky* and *Wrecking Ball* showcase her range from pure country to atmospheric experimentation.
