EMMYLOU HARRIS - EMMYLOU SINGS THE BLUES

Veteran musician EMMYLOU HARRIS has morbid tendencies - she likes to sing about death.

The country legend - who last won a GRAMMY Award in 2001 for her work on the O, BROTHER WHERE ART THOU? soundtrack - prefers to keep her tunes serious.

She says, "Death is about the heaviest thing you can sing about.

"It gives the songs a certain weight. And that's what I want: I love dark, heavy songs.

"They're usually the most interesting ones to sing: the ones that evoke the most emotion. It's hard to resist.

"And when those things are in a song, I don't find them morbid. They become transcendent."
