Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell will tour Australia together across June and July.
The legendary Emmylou Harris first rose to fame as a female singer on Gram Parsons ‘GP’ album in 1973. She was also working with Parsons on his classic ‘Grievous Angel’ album at the time of his death later that year.
After Parsons died Harris decided to continue to work using the same musical vision. At that time she recorded her signature song ‘Boulder To Birmingham’ about Gram Parsons.
Harris has won 13 Grammy Awards. She has worked on records for Roy Orbison, Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt and Bob Dylan.
Harris recorded one of Rodney Crowell’s earliest songs ‘Till I Gain Control Again’ on her 1975 album ‘Elite Hotel’.
As a songwriter Crowell has written for Keith Urban, Alan Jackson, Lee Ann Womack and Tim McGraw.
