Can't remember if this was said upthread, but I believe one specific example of Emmylou Harris's influence was having the CMF release The Louvin Brothers' Radio Favorites, for which I think she wrote the liner notes, when almost everything they did was out of print at the time.

Cool, didn't know that!"Gram Parsons also recorded 'Cash on the Barrelhead.' And the biggest favor that Gram Parsons ever did for The Louvin Brothers was when he introduced Emmylou Harris to the Louvin Brothers sound. He played this song for her — I don't know exactly which song it was — but her remark was, 'Who is that girl singing the high part?' And Gram said, 'That's not a girl. That's Ira Louvin.' And so Emmylou did a big favor for the Louvin Brother music catalog. I guess it's about 500 songs in all, and she recorded five or six of them, which I appreciate. I know Ira would've, too."Good interview:https://www.npr.org/2011/01/27/133246237/charlie-louvin-remembering-countrys-harmonizer
