The one singer Don Henley called the best “in any genre”

Don Henley has praised Emmylou Harris as having one of his favourite voices in country music and “in any genre”. The Eagles singer’s admiration reflects Harris’s ability to bring emotional force and distinctive harmonies to music beyond country.

Henley said he had worked with Harris at concerts and harmonised with her. The article also notes her collaborations with Gram Parsons and Linda Ronstadt, who said she and Harris sounded better together; they later joined Dolly Parton for the Trio project.
