Portraits (1996)

EW's GRADE
A

Details Release Date: Oct 08, 1996; Lead Performance: Emmylou Harris; Genre: Country

Emmylou Harris is the real deal, a singer whose unerring song selection and crystalline voice have made her country's foremost interpreter. The three-disc set Portraits includes early duets with mentor Gram Parsons, previously unreleased tracks, and virtually every necessary Harris track from 1974 to 1992. A perfect introduction to a maverick who has chosen quality over trends and kept the heart of authentic country music beating. A
