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.

WOW! Is this good news or what...
Two months of intense longing for your magic voice.

There is not a false note ever...not in song choice or in interpretation...you got me through some very hard times over many years. I am thankful. Can't wait till I get the new release.

Been waiting.... since Stumble Into Grace. Keeping my fingers crossed Emmylou's tour will come to Singapore! These days, it's just Emmylou and black metal for my ears (and Patty Griffin and Rickie Lee Jones too). Too much fake, unworthy music out there pretending to have real emotion.
