Emmylou Harris
  ORIGINALS: EMMYLOU HARRIS - FROM A DEEPER WELL
 
  Emmylou Harris's beautiful voice has made her the queen of country music for over 30 years. Following the tragic early death of her mentor, the cult singer Gram Parsons, Emmylou brought his unique vision of country with rock'n'roll attitude to the mainstream. She became a respected songwriter as well as harmony singer to the likes of Bob Dylan and Neil Young.

From a Deeper Well charts Emmylou Harris' development into one of country's biggest stars and her subsequent move in a more 'alternative' direction. As well as providing a comprehensive look at Emmylou's life, the programme examines the changing face of country music.
