Emmylou Harris Plots New Album

What are you doing musically at the moment? Do you have something that you are working on? I have been writing over this last year and I think I have enough material, almost enough material, between songs that I have written and songs that come my way. Sometime this month but no later than August I will put aside the whole month to start recording. I actually was able to write some songs, so that felt really good. You never know where these things come from. I find with records, they kind of become what they're going to become. They take on a power and a direction of their own. Part of making records is to honor that and not try to force it.

So putting the team together for the record, is that part of that? I'm going to work with a guy named Jay Joyce who produced one of Patty Griffin's records and that's where I met him years ago on Flaming Red. I sang on that song "Mary," which is one of my favorite songs. Then we have done a couple of one-off projects over the last couple of years and so he's going to produce the record. I'm kind of leaving how we're going to do it to him, which is probably going to be at his house and use whoever he wants to use. That's why they call them producers. - Read the full interview here
