Emmylou Harris's US tour is now heading down the West Coast, bringing songs from her latest album, All I Intended to Be, and throughout her varied career, from Seattle to San Diego. After her recent performance in Seattle, the Seattle Times wrote: "Emmylou Harris proves on her latest release that she still has one of the best voices in the business ... The grace of her vocals and the restraint of her songwriting and song choices is what we've come to expect from Harris. The fact that she continues to deliver makes it even more impressive ..."

Congratulations to Emmylou Harris, who, the same week she entered the Top 40 on the UK pop charts, with her latest release, All I Intended to Be, debuted at No. 22 on the US pop charts, a career high. The new album simultaneously reached No. 4 on this week's country charts.

Emmylou Harris's new album, All I Intended to Be, hits stores today. "Like cool water on a hot day," writes the Boston Globe's Sarah Rodman, "Emmylou Harris's bruised-angel voice remains a welcome balm." After visiting the Today show this morning, Emmylou spends a few more days in New York City to perform on the Late Show with David Letterman Thursday night and, earlier that evening, at the flagship Barnes & Noble store in Union Square, beginning at 7 PM.

Emmylou Harris will celebrate tomorrow's release of All I Intended to Be, her first solo album since 2003's Stumble into Grace, with a performance on the Today show on NBC. The show airs from 7-11 AM ET. Visit msnbc.com for more information.

The new album receives four stars in The Times (UK). Reviewer Victoria Segal praises Emmylou as being "not about musical bling or showbiz flash, just the softly burnished magic of a voice rich in experience and empathy."

In this final episode of the five-part video series on Emmylou Harris's new record, All I Intended to Be, due out on Tuesday, Emmylou reflects on her long relationship with the Seldom Scene's John Starling, Mike Auldridge, and Tom Gray, who join her again on three of the new album's tracks: Merle Haggard's "Kern River," J. C. Crowley and Jack Wesley Routh's  "Beyond the Great Divide," and Billy Joe Shaver's "Old Five and Dimers Like Me," the lyrics of which inspired the album's title.

In this fourth of five episodes in the video interview series on the forthcoming album All I Intended to Be, Emmylou Harris talks about her self-penned tune "Gold," and the joys of having Dolly Parton sing  harmony vocals on it. "I really believe she has an extra thing," marvels Emmylou, "like an Earl Scruggs tuner on her vocal cords, that allows her to do five notes in one beat." Check in tomorrow for the final episode, on being reunited with old friends for the new record.

In episode three of the Emmylou Harris video interview, Emmylou discusses her working relationship with friends Kate and Anna McGarrigle. The three co-wrote a number of songs on her last Nonesuch release, Stumble Into Grace, and came together again to write and perform two songs on the new album, All I Intended to Be: "How She Could Sing the Wildwood Flower" and "Sailing Round the Room." "I always love working with Kate and Anna McGarrigle," says Emmylou of the partnership. "It's like a songwriting camp." Check in tomorrow for episode four, "Gold," on harmonizing with Dolly Parton.
