"Roses in the Snow" was a 1980 album by Emmylou Harris. While Harris' previous release, 1979's "Blue Kentucky Girl" featured traditional, straight-ahead country (as opposed to the country-rock of her prior efforts), "Roses in the Snow" found Harris performing Bluegrass-inspired music, with material by Flatt and Scruggs, Paul Simon, The Carter Family, and Johnny Cash. Cash, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Ricky Skaggs and Tony Rice made guest appearances. "Wayfaring Stranger" was released as the first single in 1980 and went to #7 on the Billboard Country charts. The second single, a remake of a Simon & Garfunkel song, "The Boxer" reached #13. Backing musicians included Albert Lee and Jerry Douglas.
