Emmylou Harris Readies 3-Disc Wrecking Ball Reissue

On April 8, Nonesuch Records will reissue Emmylou Harris' career-defining 1995 album Wrecking Ball as a three-disc set. The reissue will contain a remastered version of the original album, which took home the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 1996, as well as a bonus CD of recently unearthed demos and outtakes.

The package will also include a DVD of the documentary Building the Wrecking Ball, which features studio footage and interviews with Harris and producer Daniel Lanois, as well as Steve Earle and Kate and Anna McGarrigle, who appear on the album, and Neil Young, who wrote the title song.

Wrecking Ball, which finds Harris covering songs by Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle and Gillian Welch, is currently available to pre-order at Nonesuch.com, with an exclusive print autographed by Harris.

Earlier this year, Harris won a Grammy for Best Americana Album for Old Yellow Moon, her collaborative album with songwriter Rodney Crowell. Don't miss our cover story on their inspired pairing.
