There’s some tour dates forthcoming:

Sounds great! Hopefully she’ll come and tour the UK in the not too distant future.
Just wanted to put in another plug for the trio albums with Linda R, Emmylou and Dolly P.
Also Emmylou did an album wiht Linda R called The Tuscon Sessions which has some great tracks on it.
One of the reasons why Emmylou is so special (besides her great voice and musical talents) is her work to help rescue dogs from shelters in the Nashville area. Check out the website for her dog rescue group called Bonaparte’s Retreat at: http://www.emmylou.net/br.html We had a chance to talk with Emmylou about dog rescue backstage after her show in Monterey, California earlier this year. She is so passionate and committed to saving as many dogs as possible. If you live in the Nashville area and would like to foster or adopt a shelter dog contact: kate@emmylou.net
And while I’m at it, if you live in Northern California and want to help foster or adopt a rescue dog please check out www.rocketdogrescue.org Thank you!
BTW You can see Emmylou for FREE at the 8th Annual Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, October 3rd-5th. For more concert info go to: http://www.strictlybluegrass.com When you see the lineups, you won’t believe your eyes!

Hear! Hear! (Or should I say Woof! Woof! :wink:) Anyone who supports dog rescue is A-OK by me. My wife & I have 3 rescued “mutts” (and I use that word lovingly – mixed breeds are the best!) ourselves.
Adopt from a Shelter / Rescue Organization! Don’t Buy from a Pet Store or Breeder!

Here’s the link to a San Francisco newspaper profile honoring Animal Heroes and features both Pali Boucher of Rocket Dog Rescue and Emmylou Harris of Bonaparte’s Retreat. Woof! Woof!

The Dogtown episode “A Fighting Chance” airs again tonight on the National Geographic channel. Music star Emmylou Harris calls for help with a vicious shepherd mix named Gunnar, leaving animal behavior specialist Sherry Woodard only a few days to come up with a plan to overcome his aggression. Theresa, an abandoned pit bull, has a mysterious mass in her belly. The dog has a history of skin cancer, so vet Dr. Patti Iampietro must do exploratory surgery to see if the cancer has spread internally. The unlikely combination of boisterous trainer John Garcia and painfully shy Little Girl proves rewarding for both, as John teaches the Catahoula leopard dog mix to trust the world — one person at a time.
