1976 studio album by Emmylou Harris
Luxury Liner is the fourth studio album by American country music artist
Emmylou Harris , released in 1976. The album was Harris' second successive number one country album on the
Billboard charts , although, unlike the preceding
Elite Hotel , there were no number one hits from this album. The highest-charting singles were the number six
Chuck Berry cover "(You Never Can Tell) C'est la Vie" and the number eight "
Making Believe " (originally a hit for
Kitty Wells ). However, the album may be better known for including the first cover version of
Townes Van Zandt 's 1972 song "
Pancho and Lefty ", which subsequently became Van Zandt's best-known composition.
At the
20th Annual Grammy Awards , one of the album's tracks and hit singles,
Making Believe , was nominated for
Best Female Country Vocal Performance but the award went to
Crystal Gayle for
Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue .
