Cimarron is a 1981 Emmylou Harris album that, like its predecessor, Evangeline, was composed mostly of outtakes from other recording sessions that had not fit into any of Harris' other albums.

It was nominated for a Grammy in 1982 for Best Country Vocal Performance, Female. In 2000, Eminent Records issued Cimarron for the first time on CD, with new liner notes and a bonus track, "Colors of Your Heart."

Alaska, the fourth album by the Silver Seas, was released in the summer of 2013. Frontman Daniel Tashian described it as the band's "country" record, explaining in a press release that they "tried to play well, crisply, economically, like country musicians. There is plenty of [producer Joe Pisapia's] steel guitar. The songs are about distance. Distance between places, weather, people, ideas. It's about somewhere you would never stumble on; you have to deliberately go to Alaska. I've never been there, I don't know if I will ever go, but I have a beautiful idea of what it's like." He added, "They say it takes an outsider to describe a place accurately; Joe's from New Jersey and I was born in Connecticut. Sometimes I see my friends go from relationship to relationship, looking for this place they see in their minds, but reality always falls short somehow ... Sometimes it's best to leave certain things to the imagination."
