"Spyboy" is a 1998 live album by Emmylou Harris and her backing band, Spyboy, which she formed for a tour to perform songs from her 1995 career-redefining album, "Wrecking Ball". Taking a stripped-down approach, Harris is backed by a power trio comprising country singer-songwriter Buddy Miller on guitar and New Orleans musicians Daryl Johnson on bass and Brady Blade on drums. Along with songs from "Wrecking Ball", such as "Where Will I Be" and "Deeper Well", Harris performs other songs from earlier in her career, such as "Love Hurts", which she first performed with Gram Parsons, "I Ain't Living Long Like This" from "Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town" and her ode to Parsons, "Boulder to Birmingham", from her 1975 debut album, "Pieces of the Sky".
