<i>Brand New Dance</i> 1990 studio album by Emmylou Harris

Brand New Dance is an album which Emmylou Harris released on October 16, 1990.

Though it sold reasonably well, it was Harris' first studio album in fifteen years to yield no top forty country singles, and marked the beginning of a commercial decline for the singer, which would ultimately lead her to redirect her music away from mainstream country, a few years later.

Red Dirt Girl is the nineteenth studio album by American country artist Emmylou Harris, released on September 12, 2000 by Nonesuch Records.

The album contains "Bang the Drum Slowly", a song Guy Clark helped Harris write as an elegy for her father. The album peaked at number 3 on the Billboard country album charts and won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 2001.

The album was mostly recorded live in the dancehall without an audience over several days, but two songs were recorded live with an audience.
