Wrecking Ball

Emmylou Harris
Released 1995Folk & Singer-Songwriter
ClassicPicked by a lifelong record collector

A lush, Daniel Lanois-produced reinvention of atmospheric Americana. Bold and acclaimed. A creative peak. Released in 1995, it's one of Emmylou Harris's later high points.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
