American singer Emmylou Harris has released 26 studio albums (including four collaboration albums), three live albums, 11 compilation albums, three video albums, and 70 singles. After recording with Gram Parsons and releasing a debut folk album on the Jubilee label, Harris signed with Reprise Records in 1974.[1]
In 1975, Harris released her major-label debut album, Pieces of the Sky, on Reprise. The second single, "If I Could Only Win Your Love", reached #4 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and the album was certified gold in the United States. The success of the album led to Harris's second album released that year, Elite Hotel, which topped the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and spawned three singles.[2] In 1977 and 1978, she released her fourth and fifth studio albums, Luxury Liner and Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town,[1] which both were certified gold.
After the release of a sixth studio album, Blue Kentucky Girl, in 1979, Harris issued a bluegrass-influenced album the following year entitled Roses in the Snow, which debuted at #2 on the Top Country Albums list and #26 on the Billboard 200.[3] That album also went gold, as did her eighth studio album, Evangeline (1981).[2] After the live album Last Date in 1982, Harris released White Shoes in 1983; it debuted at #22 on the country album chart and #116 on the pop album chart.[4] In 1985, Harris released the concept album The Ballad of Sally Rose, whose songs were all written or co-written by Harris herself.[2] She released a collaborative album with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt entitled Trio in 1987. That album became Harris's highest-selling album, attaining platinum status in the United States and spawning four Top 10 singles including the number-one "To Know Him Is to Love Him". The three released a second collaborative album, Trio II, in 1999.[1] After releasing another solo album in 1990, Harris signed with Elektra Records and released the live album At the Ryman in 1992, followed by the studio album Cowgirl's Prayer in 1993.
The atmospheric Wrecking Ball, released to critical acclaim in September 1995, established Harris's reputation as an alternative country artist.[2] The album, produced by Daniel Lanois, debuted at #96 on the Billboard 200 chart[5] and netted Harris a Grammy win for Best Contemporary Folk Recording.[6] It was followed by a third live album, Spyboy, in 1998, then a collaborative album with Linda Ronstadt, 1999's Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions. Harris returned as a solo artist in 2000 with her 18th studio album, Red Dirt Girl, which consisted almost entirely of her own songs, then 2003's similarly original Stumble into Grace. Her song for the soundtrack of the 2005 movie Brokeback Mountain entitled, "A Love That Will Never Grow Old" was not released as a single but won a Golden Globe among other official honors and accolades. She and Mark Knopfler collaborated on the studio album All the Roadrunning,[1] which debuted at #17 on the Billboard 200 when it was released in April 2006.[7] In June 2008, Harris released her 25th studio recording, All I Intended to Be.[2] April 2011 saw the release of Hard Bargain, a simple production with just Harris, her producer Jay Joyce, and Giles Reaves playing all instruments heard on the album. By debuting at number three on the Billboard Top Country Albums and number 18 on the Billboard 200, Hard Bargain became one of Harris' most successful albums ever, chartwise.
Emmylou Harris has sold 5.5 million records in the United States, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.[8]
