The last time she visited Ithaca NY, I could not get tickets. So I hung out downtown in the hopes to find tickets but was unsuccessful. After my evening, I drove home and noticed this local dive with tons of cars around. The next day, I found out that Emmylou had come to Trumansburg for a drink and another set. Something told me to stop but I didn’t. So her new album is named just for me, a Hard Bargain. It was so hard, I couldn’t find it. Hard Bargain came out April 26 on Nonesuch, is now available for pre-order in the Nonesuch Store bundled with an exclusive manuscript lyric sheet of the album’s opening track, “The Road,” a number of which will be autographed by Harris. On “The Road,” Harris looks back on the formative time she spent with country/rock icon Gram Parsons at the beginning of her career.
In celebration of the album’s release, Harris will embark on a series of performances including a showcase at the 2011 SXSW Music and Media Conference in Austin this month as well as special intimate shows at the El Rey in Los Angeles on April 21 and the Bowery Ballroom in New York on April 26. Additionally, on April 27, Harris will perform on the Late Show with David Letterman. For more tour information, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
Hard Bargain follows Harris’ acclaimed 2008 release, All I Intended to Be, which received widespread acclaim-Newsweek called it an album that “shows that Harris is still the stalwart songbird at the top of the roost.” The new album, which comprises 11 new songs by Harris as well as two covers, was produced by Jay Joyce (Cage the Elephant, Patty Griffin). A deluxe edition of the album, which includes a DVD featuring six performances interspersed with interviews, will also be available and is available for pre-order.
