Who am I ??

I was born in Indiana almost 60 years ago. One of my early influences was Joan Baez and I was a folk singer until I realized that Country was more my style. I felt fortunate that I would be working with the great Billy Sherill who helped me obtain a contract with Columbia records in the mid 70's.

My last album was a collection of bluegrass songs (many of them were my own previous recordings) that was released in 2004.

Finally, I was honored to be the Firefighters' Marshal for the 80th Annual Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, Virginia in 2007.

Who am I ?

Janie Fricke

Emmy Lou Harris

Sweet got it. Janie Fricke is correct.

"sweetmonkey" wins this one. My first thought was Emmy Lou too -but- she (Emmy Lou) wasn't born in Indiana and never worked with Billy Sherrill to my knowledge.
