Rewind: Emmylou Harris & Lorrie Morgan on Christmas Traditions, Country History, and Meaning Beyond the Songs

In this special holiday-themed conversation, Emmylou Harris and Lorrie Morgan sit down with Kyle Meredith to talk Christmas music, lifelong friendships, and the long arcs of their careers. Harris reflects on her quietly beloved album Light of the Stable, singing alongside Dolly Parton, and why songs like “Coat of Many Colors” carry the spirit of Christmas even without the tinsel. She also opens up about her deep commitment to animal rescue through Bonaparte’s Retreat and the push toward no-kill shelters, plus an upcoming expanded reissue of The Ballad of Sally Rose and work on her memoir. Morgan shares stories from Nashville Christmas specials, explains her connection to modern classics like “Grown-Up Christmas List,” and talks about teaming up with Pam Tillis on their album Come See Me and Come Lonely, built from deep-cut country favorites and a friendship that grew later in life.Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
