Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell @ Beacon Theatre

Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell, and Richard Thompson played Beacon Theater last night (3/27) as part of their tour together. (They played the Paramount Theatre in Huntington, NY on 3/24 too.) The dates are in celbration of the new Harris/Crowell effort Old Yellow Moon, an album more than thiry years in the making yet not the first time the two have collaborated together. From NPR:

Emmylou Harris’ first solo album, “Pieces of the Sky,” was released in 1975 after the death of her singing partner, Gram Parsons. The opening track on the album is a song called “Bluebird Wine,” by a then-unknown songwriter named Rodney Crowell. She recorded two more of his songs on her next album, got him to join her band in the mid-’70s and now, after an almost 40-year friendship, the two musicians have recorded an album together

Head to that link to check out a discussion on the album as well. More pics from last night’s appearance at Beacon Theater, along with updated Harris/Crowell dates, are below.
