About this album

Angel Band is a moving gospel set that highlights Emmylou Harris’s gift for interpretation as much as her country roots. Issued in 1987, the album draws on traditional spirituals and hymns, including ‘Where Could I Go But To The Lord’ and ‘Precious Memories’, and strips the arrangements back to focus on harmony, acoustic textures and Harris’s clear, expressive voice. Rather than chasing radio country, she leans into sacred material with a quiet authority that gives the record unusual depth. The result is one of her most distinctive albums, showing how fully she could make inherited songs feel personal and immediate.
