With an angelic voice, Emmylou Harris picked up where the legendary Gram Parsons left off. Her blend of Progressive Country music has been capable of eliciting any kind of emotion she wanted to. As such, the contributions of Emmylou Harris to contemporary music were astounding and the respect she has within the industry is stratospheric. Despite the perception of casual fans that she was primarily a Country artist, the music industry has not pigeonholed her there and an induction for Emmylou Harris is not as left field as people would think.
