Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris Trio: AS 40 Series

Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris Trio Reissued for the AS 40 Series on Hybrid Stereo SACD: Mastered to DSD from the Original Master Tape

A landmark collaboration and one of the most celebrated albums in country music history, Trio brings together three transcendent voices — Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, and Linda Ronstadt — in a recording that's as emotionally rich as it is impeccably produced.

Originally released in 1987, Trio was both a critical and commercial triumph, selling more than 4 million copies worldwide, topping the Billboard U.S. Country Albums chart for five consecutive weeks, and earning the Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. It was also nominated for Album of the Year. The album yielded four major country hits, highlighted by the haunting, harmony-driven remake of Phil Spector's classic "To Know Him Is to Love Him."

Produced by legendary engineer George Massenburg, Trio is a masterclass in clarity, balance, and vocal blend. Every track showcases the trio's distinct personalities while achieving a near-perfect harmonic unity — three iconic artists elevating one another through tasteful arrangements, pristine acoustics, and song-first performances.

Now, this classic shines brighter than ever. Mastered to DSD from the original master tape, this Hybrid SACD edition reveals rewarding insights for audiophiles, including remarkable levels of nuance, texture and emotional depth with every listen.
