(March 2020) Episode 256 is EMMYLOU HARRIS.  In my effort to expose myself to country music, I turn next to Emmylou Harris, on the perception that she does not confine herself to the country genre that made her famous.  So it’s not surprising that I prefer her folk- and bluegrass-influenced songs, for which I find her wonderful voice more suited, and her later-career Americana and country-folk albums.  While most of her famous songs were written by others, I like better the albums where she wrote most.
