Now Available: Emmylou Harris, THE BALLAD OF SALLY ROSE
On April 2, Emmylou Harris fans were given a gift: the news that Rhino would soon be reissuing Harris’s 1985 album THE BALLAD OF SALLY ROSE in expanded form…and, no, the fact that this news was delivered on her birthday was not coincidental.
Time flies when you’re having fun, however, and here we are on the release day of THE BALLAD OF SALLY ROSE: EXPANDED EDITION, so allow us to remind you of what this new version of this classic album contains:
• Newly remastered version of the original album
• Previously-unreleased demos for 10 of the album’s 13 songs
• Liner notes by Colin Escott
THE BALLAD OF SALLY ROSE was described by Harris as a “country opera,” one based loosely on the short time she spent paired with the late, great Gram Parsons. It wasn’t a massive commercial success, but it was Harris’s first-ever album consisting solely of original material, and whenever she’s been asked to reflect on her own discography, SALLY ROSE has remained one of her favorite albums.
Here’s the full track listing for your perusal, and don’t forget: it’s available now for your listening – and purchasing – enjoyment.
