Emmylou Harris - Gliding Bird

Emmylou Harris typically omits 1970's Gliding Bird from her discography; her first album was issued on the folk label Jubilee, which filed for bankruptcy within weeks of the LP's release. Cut before her tenure with Gram Parsons, it's a straightforward folk effort, owing more to Joni Mitchell than anything else; although most of the songs were composed by Tom Slocum, Harris' first husband, there are also a number of ill-suited covers, including Hank Williams' I Saw the Light and the Bacharach/David composition I'll Never Fall in Love Again.

Emmylou Harris - White Shoes

White Shoes is Emmylou Harris' 1983 album, composed of an eclectic collection of material. A rockish version of Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, a country remake of the Donna Summer hit On the Radio, and a version of Sandy Denny's Like an Old Fashioned Waltz were all included. Both In My Dreams and Pledging My Love hit the #9 position on the Billboard Magazine country music singles chart in 1984.
