Emmylou Harris – Together Again

Writen by Buck Owens, best known as the «B» side to Owens’ No. 1 hit, «My Heart Skips a Beat», interrupted that song’s run at Number One on the U.S. country charts. Steel guitarist Tom Brumley’s performance on «Together Again» is considered «one of the finest steel guitar solos in the history of country music» by the Country Music Television staff; it inspired Jerry Garcia to learn the instrument.

Country music singer Emmylou Harris recorded the song for her 1975 album Elite Hotel; her version also ascended to the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in April 1976, with the flip side, Harris’ version of The Beatles’ «Here, There and Everywhere» being a minor pop hit as well. In 1979, Owens and Harris dueted on a song called «Play Together Again, Again,» which paid tribute to the song both artists recorded and made famous.

Emmylou Harris – Together Again lyrics

Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The key to my heart you hold in your hand
But nothing else matters cause we’re together again

Together again the grey skies are gone
You’re back in my arms right where you belong
The love that we knew is living again
And nothing else matters cause we’re together again

Together again my tears have stopped falling
The long lonely nights are now at an end
The love that we knew is living again
And nothing else matters now we’re together again
No nothing else matters now we’re together again
