THREE GIRLS AND THEIR BUDDY

Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin and Buddy Miller Announce A Second Run Of Their Collaborative Shows

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (November 11, 2008) — Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin and Buddy Miller have announced they will again join forces for a series of collaborative shows in 2009. The "Three Girls and Their Buddy" tour will perform in the Northeast U.S., beginning in Alexandria, VA on February 3, 2009 at The Birchmere and concluding in Boston, MA. on February 22 at The Orpheum. A New York City show at the newly reopened and remodeled Beacon Theater will take place on February 20th. The "Three Girls and Their Buddy" shows feature all four artists performing onstage together, sharing the songs and stories that have defined their venerated careers.

The four have a long-established history of musical associations, having been in each other's bands, produced and played on each other's albums, covered each other's songs, and guested on each other's shows many times over the years. Buddy Miller was Emmylou's band leader in the outfit Spyboy and produced her live album by that name. Patty Griffin's song "One Big Love" was recorded by Emmylou, who has made appearances on Patty's last two studio albums. Emmylou, Patty and Buddy – with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings – toured together as Sweet Harmony Traveling Revue, a special run of collaborative shows. Buddy has performed many times over the years with Shawn Colvin, beginning with her inclusion in The Buddy Miller Band in the 80s in New York City and leading up to the These Four Walls tour in the fall of 2006. The group was recently reunited in October for a spirited performance at San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival.

EMMYLOU HARRIS'
NEW ALBUM ALL I INTENDED TO BE
OUT JUNE 10 ON NONESUCH RECORDS

HARRIS WILL BE INDUCTED INTO
COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME ON APRIL 27

HARRIS WILL BE HONORED AT WFUV'S SPRING GALA APRIL 29

"…her awesome stature as a vocalist is part and parcel with her career as a lyrical archivist whose own songwriting is seamlessly connected to her role as a faithful steward of otherpeople's songs."   —Paste Magazine

Nonesuch Records will release Emmylou Harris' new album All I Intended to Be on June 10. This is Harris' third release on Nonesuch and her first solo effort since 2003's Stumble Into Grace. Of the selected material, Harris explains, "I've always seen myself as a relentless songfinder, a singer of other people's work whom I admire greatly, and an occasional songwriter." A North American summer tour in support of the record begins May 23 in California with more dates to be announced shortly. Please see reverse for details.

Recorded over a four-year span primarily at producer Brian Ahern's Easter Island Surround in Nashville, for the first time in 25 years, this album returns Harris to the producer she worked with for her first 11 albums. Taking its title from a line in the featured Harris-John Starling duet "Old Five and Dimers Like Me" (Billy Joe Shaver), the record includes both original material as well as some of Harris' favorite songs. As Fader magazine notes, "Harris' records are distinguished by an almost curatorial respect for the artifacts..." Longtime friends Kate and Anna McGarrigle co-wrote and sing on two tracks, "How She Could Sing the Wildwood Flower" and "Sailing Round the Room," while Dolly Parton, Vince Gill and Buddy Miller also contribute vocals on the album.

A twelve-time Grammy winner and Billboard Century Award recipient, Emmylou Harris' contribution as a singer and songwriter spans 40 years. She has recorded more than 25 albums and has lent her talents to countless fellow artists' recordings. In recognition of her remarkable career, Harris will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on April 27. Of Harris, Tammy Genovese, CMA Chief Executive Officer says, "(Emmylou) possesses the voice of an angel. She is one of the most revered song interpreters on the planet, and has been instrumental in preserving country music's past while expanding country music's horizons throughout her career." New York's WFUV also honors Harris this spring, recognizing the singer with the Sound and Vision Award at its annual spring gala at Sotheby's on April 29.

Multi-Grammy^® -Winning Artist Highlights Personal Favorites, Collaborations and Unreleased Tracks  Selected for  Five-Disc Boxed Set Collection (4CD/1DVD) Available September 18 From Rhino Records

"Her ethereal, crystalline voice, which hovers on a seam between the celestial and the gritty, is closest to the high lonesome sound of bluegrass. And her austere delivery conveys contradictory currents of emotional distance and cosmic heartbreak, brokenness and resilience."
—The New York Times

LOS ANGELES – 12-time Grammy^® Award-winner Emmylou Harris retraces the back roads of her remarkable musical journey that spans more than three decades with a highly personalized, far-reaching boxed set spotlighting her favorite tracks and difficult-to-find or previously unreleased gems. Rhino lets one of the most instantly recognizable voices of any genre call the tunes for this four-CD and one-DVD collection of career favorites, difficult-to-find material and live performances from her days with Gram Parsons and, later, the Hot Band to her bluegrass material and her fascinating concept album to her more recent solo albums and her most recent work Mark Knopfler. SONGBIRD: RARE TRACKS AND FORGOTTEN GEMS will be available at all physical retail outlets and at www.rhino.com for a suggested list price of $74.98.

When Billboard Magazine honored Emmylou Harris in 1999 with its prestigious "Century Award," they appropriately lauded her as a "truly venturesome, genre-transcending pathfinder," whose award was meant "to acknowledge the uncommon excellence of [her] still-unfolding body of work."  SONGBIRD reveals new dimensions of Harris's languid, elegant music and explores more deeply her work as a pioneering singer and songwriter. For this 78-track retrospective, Harris goes beyond her greatest hits and personally selects memorable moments from her acclaimed career, including her favorite songs, unreleased live tracks, outtakes, demos and special collaborations—many appearing on an Emmylou Harris compilation for the first time. 

The collection opens with an unreleased outtake of "Clocks," a song from her 1969 solo debut Gliding Bird, before winding its way through the many phases of Harris' trailblazing career. The first two of SONGBIRD's discs follow Harris' own career, as she helped break down the barriers separating country and rock both through her partnership with Gram Parsons and then in her own career. SONGBIRD's first disc features two of their duets: "The Angels Rejoiced Last Night" and a live version of "The Old Country Baptizing."

Disc One of the retrospective not only draws heavily from Harris' string of acclaimed albums from the '70s, but also showcases some of her early collaborative works with fellow artists and her talent for song selection. SONGBIRD's first disc features covers of Dolly Parton's "Coat Of Many Colors" and The Beatles' "For No One," both from Pieces Of The Sky, the achingly beautiful album that most consider her real debut. Also spotlighted are "Tulsa Queen," a song she cowrote with Rodney Crowell; "My Songbird" a Jesse Winchester-penned track that gives the boxed set its title; a duet with Willie Nelson on "One Paper Kid"; and "Spanish Johnny" with Waylon Jennings from Harris' 1981 album Evangeline.

Through the '80s—an era of urban cowboys, mechanical bulls, and country-pop—Harris rose to become the authentic voice of country on such albums, which is highlighted on SONGBIRD's second disc. The disc kicks off with "The Sweetheart Of The Rodeo" from the semi-autobiographical concept album The Ballad Of Sally Rose (1984), which features the voices of Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Vince Gill and Gail Davies.  Disc Two features tracks from At The Ryman, the live album Emmylou recorded at Nashville's "Church of Country Music" in the early 1990s when it actually risked demolition. The attention the album brought to the venue is credited largely as what saved the hall, and The Ryman Auditorium continues to be one of the country's premier concert venues. 

Disc Two continues through the 1990s, as musically, Emmylou's boundaries continued to expand. In 1995 she recorded a pivotal solo album, Wrecking Ball, with U2 producer Daniel Lanois. Hailed by critics as a masterpiece, the album is represented with covers of Lucinda Williams' "Sweet Old World" and Anna McGarrigle's "Going Back To Harlan." Clearly energized, she followed with Spyboy (1998), a live album of contemporary takes on some of her best-known material played by a new band—"Prayer In Open D" and "All My Tears" are included here. Selecting songs from a pair of recent albums, Harris chooses "Bang The Drum Slowly" from Red Dirt Girl (2000) and "Lost Unto This World" from 2003' renowned collaborative work.

Disc Three features the previously unissued gem "Palms Of Victory," which was recorded in 1978 with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt, who were then calling themselves The Queenston Trio. This song is the first, original and unsweetened track from what would have been the first Trio album to ever see release, had they completed the project. Also included on this disc is a previously unissued outtake of the hymn "Softly And Tenderly" from the Trio II sessions. Of this song, Emmylou says, "I was grieved that this [song] didn't come out. I think the singing is exquisite. When Linda goes up in that modulation you realize all over again why she is maybe the greatest voice of our time…. and then of course Dolly was made to sing these old-timey songs…It was an unbelievable experience to hear those voices on the same song."

 "In The Garden," a song recorded for but not included on the soundtrack for All The Pretty Horses, is also on SONGBIRD's third disc, as well as "Immigrant Eyes," a Guy Clark cover Harris recorded for his 60th birthday. Among the many highlights on this disc are tributes to Tammy Wynette, Kate Wolf, Hank Williams, Townes Van Zandt, Webb Pierce, Merle Haggard and Gram Parsons. For SONGBIRD, Harris includes three tracks from the Parsons tribute album she produced, Return Of The Grievous Angel: "She" (with the Pretenders), "Sin City" (with Beck), and "Juanita" (with Sheryl Crow).

Disc Four opens with a duet with Patty Griffin, "Beyond The Blue," which was recorded for the motion picture Where The Heart Is. Here Harris includes. "Alone and Forsaken," a track she recorded with Mark Knopfler for the Hank Williams tribute Timeless, and also "Love And Happiness," one of the Harris-penned songs included on the Harris-Knopfler duets album All The Roadrunning.  "Here We Are," which was Harris' first time to sing with one of her biggest inspirations, George Jones, appears here, as well as outtakes from Brand New Dance and Cowgirl's Prayer.

The DVD contains nine videos taken from throughout Harris' career including a pair of performances from the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test—"Together Again" with The Hot Band featuring James Burton in 1975 and "Making Believe" with The Hot Band featuring Albert Lee, filmed in 1977. Also featured are selections from a 1978 performance on the PBS program Soundstage, as well as a duet with Elvis Costello ("Love Hurts"), recorded in 2006 live at the historic Grand Ole Opry. The DVD closes with a PSA from Harris discussing animal rescue, a cause she passionately supports through ongoing awareness-raising efforts and fundraising work within her community, but also through her own dog rescue and adoption organization, Bonaparte's Retreat.

Harris has recorded over 20 albums and has lent her talents to folk, country-rock and Americana singing alongside a who's who of American greats, including Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton, Chrissie Hynde, Neil Young and Steve Earle. Since 1975's acclaimed Pieces Of The Sky, Emmylou Harris has been a foremost figure in several of America's most important musical movements, including the Americana movement of the 1990's and the recent independent music explosion. Harris has also appeared at any number of historic musical events, such as The Last Waltz concert with The Band, the "Down From The Mountain" tour with Ralph Stanley, and Neil Young's Ryman Auditorium performances, which were captured in the recent Jonathan Demme-directed film Heart Of Gold.

In the spring of 2007, Harris was honored at the SXSW music conference where Warner Music's Rhino and Nonesuch labels honored her for having sold 15 million albums worldwide.  Harris, who will be touring selected cities through the end of 2007, will perform at several festivals through the remainder of the year, including Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Newport Folk Festival, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival. A complete list of all tour dates is available at www.emmylou.net.
