Spyboy is a live album by Emmylou Harris and her backing band, Spyboy which she formed for a tour to perform songs from her 1995 career-redefining album, Wrecking Ball. Taking a stripped-down approach, Harris is backed by a trio comprising country singer-songwriter Buddy Miller on guitar and New Orleans musicians Daryl Johnson on bass and Brady Blade on drums. Along with songs from Wrecking Ball, such as “Where Will I Be” and “Deeper Well”, Harris performs other songs from earlier in her career, such as “Born to Run” from Cimarron, “Love Hurts”, which she first performed with Gram Parsons, “I Ain’t Living Long Like This” from Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town and her ode to Parsons, “Boulder to Birmingham”, from her 1975 debut album, Pieces of the Sky. Originally released on CD in 1998, Spyboy is now available on vinyl for the first time ever. This pressing is limited to 3,000 units and packaged in a gatefold along with an 11x.5 x11.5 insert featuring written reflections from Emmy Lou Harris as well as Buddy Miller. The pressing includes the original 14-song tracklist as well as 5 previously unreleased bonus tracks.
This is a 2025 Record Store Day release.
