Emmylou Harris has been on both sides of the music scene between Country and rock, and she has realized not every fan supported that decision.
 
"Most of the things I did were very eclectic, a real mixed bag, although the country-rock experience and traditional country were very important to me," Harris said. "But I think 'Wrecking Ball' really disturbed some fans. I think I lost them. But I brought in a whole new world of people who were probably curious in the beginning."
 
Harris will be returning to her original eclectic musical style for her newest release by mixing several styles of music together. She has spent the past year writing new material and will begin recording no later than August.
 
"You never know where these things come from,” Harris said. "I find with records, they become what they're going to become. They take on a power and a direction of their own. Part of making records is to honor that and not try to force it.
 
“… I’m very happy in that eclectic world,” Harris said. “I’m happiest when I can mix and match.”
