Emmylou Harris Tribute has now reached Volume 9. So far, we’ve explored many different styles—The Hot Band, Nash Ramblers, Bluegrass, and more—but this time, we’re excited to present the long-requested theme: “SPYBOY.” “SPYBOY” is the title of the live album Emmylou Harris released in 1998, and also the name of the band she toured with, made up of the musicians who recorded that album. The lineup features Emmylou Harris, Buddy Miller, Daryl Johnson, and Brady Blade. With the live album newly reissued on LP and CD with Bonus tracks in 2025, we felt this was the perfect moment to dedicate this tribute to SPYBOY.

Reflecting on a year of beautiful noise and quiet goodbyes. 2025 was an exciting year, made possible by everyone who came to a show or shared a project with me. Though it was marked by the loss of dear friends… I’m entering 2026 with a grateful heart. Wishing you a fulfilling year ahead. Happy Holidays!

This year, my music started Streaming since Summer 2025. Thank you for your love.
To everyone who has listened to my music or even bought the CD: thank you so much for your incredible support.
I have a small favor to ask. Even if you already own the CD, listening on platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music makes a world of difference. In particular, “Downloading” and “Repeat plays” are the biggest ways you can support my journey.
To be honest, keeping music available on streaming services involves initial costs and ongoing fees. By reaching a certain number of plays, I can ensure that I’m able to keep these songs online and continue creating new music for you.
Your every play becomes the fuel that keeps this project alive. I hope my music stays by your side throughout 2026 and beyond. Thank you for helping me keep the music playing!
Please listen to “Angel” from my 2004 album on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and Amazon Music!
This song is about finding peace when life feels too heavy. “In the arms of an angel, fly away from here” — it’s about letting go of pain, and being lifted into a place of quiet comfort. Back then, my sweet dog Angelina was my “Angel.” I used to sing this song holding her in my arms on stage. And now… I sing it for Annabelle.
私の2004年のアルバムから “Angel”をSpotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and Amazon Musicで聴いてね。
