50 years of Friendship and Music! :celestial:

The ultimate supergroup of country music, and they're hardly talked about!

If there was some kind of "vocal trinity" of country, I'd put these three up there!

 

Three friends, Dolly Parton, Linda Rondstadt, & Emmylou Harris, all Legends in their own right, coming together to create more magic and history!

They came together in the 1970s appearing on Dolly's Variety show.

 

 

Performing on & off since then, they finally came back together in 1987 with Linda crossing over to country to record their first album as the TRIO!

Worried by labels that this wouldn't work, Trio came out as a surprise hit, selling over a million copies in the US, producing four top 10 country hits, and four million worldwide!

 

It went on to win Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group at the Grammys, and even nominated for Album of the Year alongside Michael, Prince, Whitney, & U2.

 

Coming back together in the late 90s, the TRIO recorded their 2nd album, TRIO, and performed one of the GREATEST covers and live performance ever, After the Gold Rush!

Still gives me chills! :jonny5:

 

It won them their second Grammy for Best Country Vocals.

 

Truly one of the greatest supergroups to come together that eventually got inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame!

 

If you know them, you love them! :alexz:

Definitely! These three are actually my rare crossover to country music. Lol When I heard they're album was nominated with Michael Prince and Whitney, I had to give it a listen.

 

Telling Me Lies, My Dear Companion, and Wildflowers are my favorites.
