MY DEAR COMPANION
Some of the full songs already available. I only included unreleased songs.
I am not sure if All I Left Behind is Trio or even just Linda singing backup but I like it. Same with Last Cheater's Waltz.
EMMYLOU HARRIS RARITIES TAKE FLIGHT ON SONGBIRD
www.emmylou.net/songbird.html
Through the '80s-an era of urban cowboys, mechanical bulls, and country-pop-Harris rose to become the authentic voice of country on such albums, which is highlighted on SONGBIRD's second disc. The disc kicks off with "The Sweetheart Of The Rodeo" from the semi-autobiographical concept album The Ballad Of Sally Rose (1984), which features the voices of Parton, Linda Ronstadt, Vince Gill and Gail Davies. Disc Two features tracks from At The Ryman, the live album Emmylou recorded at Nashville's "Church of Country Music" in the early 1990s when it actually risked demolition. The attention the album brought to the venue is credited largely as what saved the hall, and The Ryman Auditorium continues to be one of the country's premier concert venues.
Disc Three features the previously unissued gem "Palms Of Victory," which was recorded in 1978 with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt, who were then calling themselves The Queenston Trio. This song is the first, original and unsweetened track from what would have been the first Trio album to ever see release, had they completed the project. Also included on this disc is a previously unissued outtake of the hymn "Softly And Tenderly" from the Trio II sessions. Of this song, Emmylou says, "I was grieved that this [song] didn't come out. I think the singing is exquisite. When Linda goes up in that modulation you realize all over again why she is maybe the greatest voice of our time.... and then of course Dolly was made to sing these old-timey songs...It was an unbelievable experience to hear those voices on the same song."

Review
by Sarah Carson
Thirty years ago, after years of mutual admiration and thwarted plans to collaborate, three of America's biggest artists – Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt – recorded their first album together, Trio. The women came from varied musical backgrounds - Appalachian “mountain music” for Dolly, folk for Emmylou and California rock for Linda - but the breathtaking, mellifluous harmonies and timeless natural sounds on the album, released in 1987, made it a worldwide success (and spawned a follow-up, Trio II, in 1999). In this marvellous film, the three women, their peers, and music industry experts reminisce.
Summary
How Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris's careers took off in the 1970s with very distinct takes on country music, before they came together to collaborate on a successful album in 1987. The artists talk about uniting as harmony singers, focusing on how their alliance made them pioneers in bringing different music worlds together and raising the game for women in the country tradition.

NEW
In this new one-hour BBC Four documentary, narrator KT Tunstall explores how Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris’s careers took off in the 1970s.
Although they had very distinct takes on country, the three women ended up uniting as friends and close-harmony singers to record their 1987 album Trio, which helped launch the Mountain Music revival of the 90s and beyond.
Dolly, Linda and Emmylou were all born in the late 1940s and grew up in very different parts of the USA. In the mid-to-late 60s they launched their careers in Nashville, LA and Greenwich Village respectively.
If Dolly put a new spin on the old-fashioned country ‘girl’ singer by writing her own songs and proving sharper than the guys, Linda Ronstadt’s ear for classic country was part of her jukebox sensibility that made her the biggest female star on FM radio in mid-70s USA.
Meanwhile, folkie Emmylou learned about country from mentor Gram Parsons, and, after his early death in 1973, became a bandleader, country curator and revivalist in her own right. She recorded albums in California that placed Beatles’ songs alongside classic honky-tonk albums that could never have been made in the Nashville studio system, and which made her a star with the college crowd.
If Linda and Emmylou brought country to the kids who’d begun as Beatles’ fans, Dolly was country through and through - but somehow managed to transcend the country market. Dolly went to Hollywood claiming she’d taken country with her and became a global superstar with her 1980s hit Nine To Five. Linda continued to diversify as a song and genre interpreter, taking in new wave and the Great American Songbook, while Emmylou became the untarnished champion of many styles of country.
This is the story of Dolly, Linda and Emmylou’s friendship and musical sisterhood over several decades, how they united their different audiences and raised the game for women in the country tradition.
