About this album

Cimarron is a graceful, roots-focused country album that shows Emmylou Harris balancing traditional material with contemporary songwriting and sharp interpretive instinct. Released in 1981, it followed her late-1970s run of acclaimed records and continued the approach that made her one of country music’s most respected modern voices. Working with a strong Nashville cast, Harris gives songs such as If I Needed You, Tennessee Waltz and Born to Run a clear emotional centre, while her plain, expressive singing keeps the album grounded in classic country values. The record helped reinforce her reputation as an artist who could honour tradition without sounding constrained by it.
