(Ralph Stanley)
The sun is slowly sinkin'
The day's almost gone
Still darkness falls around us
And we must journey on
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet
The darkest hour is just before dawn
Like a shepherd out on the mountain
A-watchin' the sheep down below
He's coming back to claim us
Will you be ready to go
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul
Let Jesus in
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The darkest hour is just before dawn

Emmylou Harris è una cantautrice statunitense nata in Alabama nel 1947. Considerata una delle figure più influenti della musica country degli anni '70 e successivi, ha saputo combinare elementi folk, country e rock in un sound unico. La sua carriera musicale ha preso una svolta importante nel 1971 quando Chris Hillman, membro dei Byrds e dei Flying Burrito Band, l'ha presentata a Gram Parsons, pioniere del country-rock. Harris ha collaborato con Parsons per il suo album di debutto *GP* e per il successivo *Grievous Angel*, considerato uno dei capolavori del genere. Dopo la tragica morte di Parsons nel 1973, Harris ha continuato a insegnare una carriera di successo, pubblicando numerosi album di grande successo, tra cui *Pieces of the Sky* (1975), *Luxury Liner* (1977) e *White Flowers* (1981). Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi si ricordano *Boulder to Birmingham*, *Red Dirt Girl* e *The Maker*. Emmylou Harris è stata insignita di numerosi premi, tra cui 14 Grammy Awards.
