CIMARRON
Cimarron is a 1981 Emmylou Harris album that, like its predecessor, Evangeline, was composed mostly of outtakes from other recording sessions that had not fit into any of Harris’ other albums. The album did well on the U.S. country charts, and featured three top-ten country singles: “Born to Run” (not to be confused with the Bruce Springsteen song of the same name), “If I Needed You” (a duet with Don Williams), and “Tennessee Rose”. It was nominated for a Grammy in 1982 for Best Country Vocal Performance, Female. (More from Wikipedia)
Poco hung in there and hit something of a creative peak with Rose of Cimarron (1976); the title track, “Rose of Cimarron”, written by Rusty Young was covered by Emmylou Harris and was the de facto title track on her album Cimarron.
