Emmylou Harris reflects on her musical journey, her influence from Gram Parsons, her genre-blending career, collaborations with artists like Linda Ronstadt, and her ongoing passion for music, dogs, and writing, as she prepares for her farewell European tour but indicates she will continue performing in the US.
As the 50th anniversary of Gram Parsons's death approaches, it's time to shift the focus from the macabre details of his demise and celebrate his influential music instead. Parsons, a country-rock pioneer and former member of the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, left behind a legacy of two influential solo albums and a vision for a genre he called "cosmic American music." Despite his untimely death at the age of 26, Parsons's impact on country music is undeniable, and his songs like "Hickory Wind" and "Return of the Grievous Angel" continue to resonate with audiences. While the fascination with his death endures, it's his music that deserves recognition and appreciation.
