  • Summary

  • Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Emmylou Harris. A Country Music Hall of Fame Inductee. Winner of 14 Grammy Awards, plus a Lifetime Achievement Award. An absolute legend. And one of my favorite voices of all-time. In this episode you’re also gonna hear us talk about the shimmer that a song should have. What she learned early on from collaborating with Gram Parsons. How she overcame some vocal issues. The importance of a great producer. What it takes to make a confident leap of faith. And the key to great harmony singing from one of the best to ever do it. It’s no coincidence that she has sung with so many legends from Mavis Staples to Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson. Roy Orbison, Patty Griffin, Lucinda Williams, John Prine and Neil Young to name a few. She was in a supergroup called Trio with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt.. and we’re gonna discuss all of it and much more. All my writer’s royalties from sales of the book benefit the kids and families at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through our Music Gives to St. Jude Kids campaign.
