For almost 30 years, Emmylou Harris has burned up the country music and folk scene, establishing a legacy that will be hard to match. With a talent for evolving her sound to suit the times, she is now an undisputed queen of contemporary and country music. She is a woman who exemplifies ageless beauty and grace. The early years of Harris' career brought memorable albums like Blue Kentucky Girl and Roses in the Snow. Her authentic sound reaped awards for songs like "In My Dreams" and "That Lovin' You Feelin' Again" with Roy Orbison.
