Thirteen is an album by the American musician Emmylou Harris, released in 1986.[1] [2] The title came from its status as her thirteenth studio album (if one does not count her 1969 first album, released on an independent label, which Harris herself rarely acknowledges).
The album was co-produced by Harris and her then-husband, Paul Kennerley.[3] It became available as a CD in 2013 in a compilation issued by the Rhino Entertainment Company called Emmylou Harris Original Album Series Vol.2.
Two singles from the album were released and charted on the Hot Country Singles chart, with "If I Had My Heart Set on You" peaking at No. 60 and "Today I Started Loving You Again" peaking at No. 43. The latter was nominated for Best Female Country Vocal Performance at the 29th Annual Grammy Awards.
The Los Angeles Times deemed Thirteen Harris's "most thoroughly satisfying studio album since 1979's Blue Kentucky Girl."[4] The Orlando Sentinel wrote that Harris "always has been real country, in the bluegrass-mountain music branch—what she does better than any major artist is to add a measure of present to the past."[5]
