Emmylou Harris
Harvey Kubernik, Melody Maker, 24 January 1976
"I WAS NERVOUS but I looked forward to playing overseas because I had this feeling there was an audience for my kind of music, especially since Gram's albums did so well there. He had been recognised critically in Europe and England far more than in the States. I don't think people here realise the magnitude of how he affected music," says Emmylou Harris during a rehearsal break at Alley Sound in North Hollywood.
