Farm Aid Music Monday, Starring Emmylou Harris

MattEmmylou Harris has played at several Farm Aid concerts over the years, including at the very first one back in 1985. Today’s Farm Aid Music Monday post is from a little more recent, when she played at the Germain Amphitheater in Columbus, Ohio on September 7, at Farm Aid 2003. Here, watch her perform “Pancho and Lefty,” a song originally written by Townes Van Zandt in 1972 and later covered by both Emmylou Harris in 1977 and again in 1983 by Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson.

You can get more of this performance and others from the 2003 concert on DVD: click here. And check out more videos on Farm Aid’s YouTube channel.
