That doyen of country soul, Emmylou Harris, returns to the UK next week to start what she says will be her final European tour and she’s taken the opportunity to talk to the Guardian about her long career.
The singer got her first break via Gram Parsons in the early 1970s. She contributed vocals on both his albums, GP and the posthumous Grievous Angel and claims that she had no idea about the drug-guzzling side to the ex-Flying Burrito Brother who died in September 1973.
