Emmylou Harris‘ groundbreaking album Wrecking Ball is set to be reissued April 8 on Nonesuch Records. The project, produced by Daniel Lanois, earned the 1996 Grammy honor for Best Contemporary Folk Album. The new three-disc CD includes the remastered original album (remastered by Joe Gastwirt), a bonus CD of previously unreleased material, and a DVD of the documentary Building the Wrecking Ball, which features interviews and footage of Harris and Lanois, as well as guests Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Neil Young, Steve Earle, Brian Blade, and others. The album is available to pre-order at nonesuch.com with an exclusive print autographed by Harris.
