Pieces of the Sky (Expanded & Remastered)

Pieces of the Sky is the second studio album and major-label debut by American country music artist Emmylou Harris, released on February 7, 1975, by Reprise Records. Although she had released the obscure folk-styled Gliding Bird five years earlier, Pieces of the Sky became the album that launched Harris's career and is widely considered to be her debut. In those intervening years she forged a musical relationship with Gram Parsons that altered the musical direction of her career. The album includes Harris's first high-charting Billboard country hit, the No. 4 "If I Could Only Win Your Love," and the relatively low-charting No. 73 "Too Far Gone". The overall song selection was varied and showed early on how eclectic Harris's musical tastes were. In addition to her own "Boulder to Birmingham", she included the Merle Haggard classic "The Bottle Let Me Down," the Beatles' "For No One," and Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors." On Shel Silverstein's "Queen of the Silver Dollar," Harris's longtime friend and vocal collaborator Linda Ronstadt sings harmony. Pieces of the Sky rose as far as the No. 7 spot on the Billboard country albums chart.
