Emmylou Harris's Hard Bargain will be released April 26 on Nonesuch Records. The album follows Harris's acclaimed 2008 release, All I Intended to Be, which received widespread acclaim - Newsweek called it an album that "shows that Harris is still the stalwart songbird at the top of the roost." Hard Bargain, which comprises 11 new songs by Harris as well as two covers, was produced by Jay Joyce (Cage the Elephant, Patty Griffin).

Also available as a deluxe edition of the album, which includes a DVD featuring six performances interspersed with interviews.

Masterful at rock, country, folk, bluegrass, and more, Emmylou Harris is one of the most distinctive and visionary voices in contemporary music. The artist's lucid, achingly gorgeous vocals and a string of celebrated albums-many featuring her acclaimed "Hot Band"-have earned Harris eleven Grammys and made this alt-country/roots-rock innovator a legend in her own time.

The album displays Emmylou's ability to bring new life to songs that may have been overlooked, forgotten or lost along the way. Emmylou Harris assembles an extraordinary cast of longtime friends who are veteran musicians and fellow singers for a set that indeed showcases as all she has intended to be - a singularly expressive vocalist, a brilliant interpreter of other people's songs, a graceful and confident songwriter. Some of the most affecting material is the least well-known such as John Wesley Routh's Celtic/Country "Shores Of White Sands" and trucker-poet Michael Germino's heartrending story-song, "Broken Man's Lament." Harris has chosen these songs with conceptual care.

Emmylou's bluegrass-flavored 1980 LP soared to #26 on the pop album charts, garnering fervent praise from all corners along the way. This reissue contains her country hits Wayfaring Stranger and The Boxer , and the rest of the original LP along with two unissued bonus tracks!

With its spare, acoustic-based instrumentation, this 1979 Grammy winner is one of Emmylou's most traditional efforts. Among its down-home offerings is the #1 country single "Beneath Still Waters." Includes new liner notes and two previously unreleased bonus tracks.

Already celebrated as a discoverer and interpreter of other artists' songs, 12-time Grammy Award-winner Emmylou Harris has, in the last decade, become admired as much for her eloquently straightforward songwriting as for her incomparably expressive singing.

On Hard Bargain, her third Nonesuch disc, she offers 11 original songs - three of them co-written with Grammy and Oscar-winning composer Will Jennings - that touch on the autobiographical while reaching for the universal. She pays tribute to lost friends like her legendary mentor Gram Parsons ("The Road") and her frequent collaborator, the late Kate McGarrigle ("Darlin' Kate"), and also finds poignancy and fresh meaning in events both historical and personal. Deluxe Edition includes a DVD that features six performances interspersed with interviews.
