Her grandfather gave Harris her first guitar, which she learned to play. Urban folk singers were Harris’s idols growing up, and that led to “Gliding Bird,” a 1969 album. Harris gained attention playing small folk clubs in the Washington, D.C., area. A grandfather’s guitar, beside a 1969 folk album, may point to a musical start in both home and club settings. Harris later said she had “retired forever from the music business” at that point. Gram Parsons was the one who brought her to classic country music. He had been a member of the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers and helped pioneer a new kind of country-rock. Parsons recruited Harris to sing harmony and join his band as he toured as a solo artist and bandleader. Idolizing urban folk singers, beside an introduction to classic country through Parsons, may suggest two musical worlds in her story. Retiring from music, beside joining Parsons’s band, may hint at two very different points in her working life. Harris first reached the charts with covers of songs popularized by the Louvin Brothers, Buck Owens, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Kitty Wells. Eight players stand out in the lineups she has led across the years. Buddy Miller and Sam Bush sit alongside Albert Lee and James Burton, with Rodney Crowell, Ricky Skaggs, Tony Brown and Emory Gordy Jr. completing the list. Songs by other writers, beside bandmates such as Rodney Crowell, may point to a musician drawing on the people around her. With Wrecking Ball in 1995, Harris entered a newly experimental period that continued into the new century. Two albums for Nonesuch Records, Red Dirt Girl (2000) and Stumble into Grace (2003), marked her turn toward more songwriting. A Grammy Lifetime Achievement award came in 2018, ten years after her 2008 induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Harris set up Bonaparte’s Retreat in memory of her dear companion. Its aim is to rescue shelter dogs and place them in forever homes. Wrecking Ball in 1995, beside the Hall of Fame in 2008, may hint at experimental work sitting beside formal recognition.
