Blue Kentucky Girl is an album by country music artist Emmylou Harris, released in 1979. The album features delving more traditional country than the country-rock sound of Harris' previous releases. Songs include work by Willie Nelson and Gram Parsons.
Emmylou Harris was hardly a country traditionalist. She’d apprenticed with pioneer country-rocker Gram Parsons and could just as effectively sing Beatles tunes as anything by Hank Williams. The 1970s saw a radical shift in the sound of country records as well. The countrypolitan sound engineered by Chet Atkins and Billy Sherrill was being further modernized by the upcoming Urban Cowboy phase that would usher in the ‘80s. Blue Kentucky Girl appeared in 1979, just as pop music was getting ready to re-embrace country music in a big way. Harris, however, was finding her country roots. Blue Kentucky Girl is a 1965 studio album by American country singer-songwriter, Loretta Lynn. The album was released on Decca Records in 1965 and was Lynn's third studio album of the year and her fourth solo album up to that point. The album's title track was the song's only single and peaked in the Top 10 on the Billboard Country Chart in 1965. The album released 12 studio tracks.
