Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell return to Europe for several shows in the week ahead, starting at Huercasa Country Festival in Riaza, Spain, on Saturday and at Colston Hall in Bristol, UK, on Sunday. “Having rekindled a decades old musical partnership,” writes Popmatters in a recent of their new album, they “return with the quietly triumphant and assured The Traveling Kind.” The duo returns to the States later this month to resume the US leg of the tour.

The pair’s previous rekindling of their partnership, on their 2013 debut duets album, Old Yellow Moon, earned them a Grammy Award. Their performance of songs from the album on Austin City Limits, also from 2013, will receive an encore broadcast on PBS stations across this United States this weekend.
