Emmylou Harris, inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008, won the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018. Recording songs with influential performers like Johnny Cash and
Dolly Parton
early in her career made her one of the most influential women in country music, and she still brings that legendary presence onstage with each of her performances. Born in Birmingham, Ala. in 1947, her dad was an officer in the US Marines and had previously been a prisoner of war for ten months. Emmylou graduated valedictorian of her high school class, and she won a scholarship to the University of North Carolina School of Music, Theater and Dance.
''She recorded My Name Is Emmett Till to recount the violent heart-breaking murder of a Black youth during the 1960s. The guitar in the background makes the song a heart-breaker. She suffered the loss of her mentor, Gram Parsons, from an accidental overdose of drugs and alcohol. His death was an unexpected event that changed her life forever. She recalls The Road in harmony with overlaid guitars and the sudden death and darkness from the acceptance of drug and alcohol abuse. Further influencing her music was sensitivity to the Vietnam war, causing many of her lyrics to address deep subjects relevant for the time.'
