12-time Grammy Award winner Emmylou Harris has, in the last decade, gained admiration as much for her eloquently straightforward songwriting as for her inimitable expressive vocals.
On Hard Bargain, her third Nonesuch disc, she offers 11 original songs—three of them co-written with Grammy and Oscar–winning composer Will Jennings. Throughtout his career Jennings has written and worked with artists such as Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, and Roy Orbison.
Few in pop or country music have revealed such maturity in their writing as has Emmylou Harris. In a career spanning forty years, Harris has shared the hard-earned wisdom that comes with age, though she's never stopped looking forward.
Harris talks about the idea behind the album and tour title Hard Bargain. "The people in your life, and the joy of life, will always bring you back no matter what, and I think that's echoed in every song in a way. I may be stretching things a little bit but if you had to, 'Hard Bargain' would sum up this particular song cycle."
