"I'm speaking with the Queen of Americana ... a singer who summons the truth of every song that she touches," BBC Radio 4 Front Row presenter Kate Molleson says of her guest Emmylou Harris. "She brought together the worlds of folk, rock and country music, and she took harmony singing to new heights." Harris spoke with Molleson about her life and career ahead of her European Farewell Tour, which begins in Glasgow and Dublin this weekend. You can hear the episode here. Harris also spoke with the Guardian's Fiona Sturges about her career in music and why she won't be winding it down anytime soon. "I don’t really know what winding down is,” Harris says. “I think when you’re an artist, you don’t ever really retire. As I tell my friends, I don’t know what I’m doing, but I sure am doing a lot of it.”
