re: John Denver vs. Emmylou Harris

Ironically both are connected to the State of Alabama in that Harris was born in Birmingham and Denver lived in Montgomery when his father was stationed at Maxwell AFB. Denver was always rooted in folk music while Harris was rooted in country. After Gram Parsons death Emmylou didn’t really have a collaborators in LA and moved to Nashville where she linked up with many singer songwriters. Denver did,his,own thing and never tried to break in the Nashville scene.
