“If you’re a songwriter, you always wanted her to record one of your songs,” said Steve Earle of his friend, Emmylou Harris at a star-studded tribute concert honoring the country songstress last year. Earle joined several of those lucky writers, along with a long list of collaborators, friends and disciples at the event, billed The Life & Songs of Emmylou Harris: An All-Star Concert Celebration. Held at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., the show boasted a set-list spanning four decades of Harris’ iconic catalog. Now available on CD, stars such as Alison Krauss, Daniel Lanois, Patty Griffin, Kris Kristoferson and more were backed by a house band of country greats: Buddy Miller, Don Was, Sam Bush, Audley Freed, Fred Eltringham, Matt Rollings, Greg Leisz and Sara Watkins.
