'Pieces of the Sky'

Maybe her first, but definitely not her best album. No one's become a bigger Emmylou Harris fan than me over the past year or so.

She's simply great. She sang songs that she wanted to sing and didn't seem to have any problem putting her own stamp on cover songs (on this album covering The Beatles, Merle Haggard and Dolly Parton).

Plus, she gathered some of the greatest musicians to ever record on a country album. Just wish there were a couple other 1970s-era Harris albums on this list.
