Emmylou Harris - The Ballad of Sally Rose album cover
 The Ballad of Sally Rose was an album by Emmylou Harris, originally released in 1985. It marked a significant departure for Harris as all the songs were all written by herself and husband Paul Kennerley. Additionally it is a "conceptual" album, loosely based on Harris' relationship with the late Gram Parsons. The album tells the story of a character, Sally Rose, a singer whose lover and mentor, a hard living, hard drinking musician is tragically killed while on the road. Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Gail Davies provided harmony on several of the songs. Many of the songs flowed into one another to create a continuous momentum.

Prior to this album, only her obscure 1970 debut Gliding Bird had more than two of her own compositions; a feat she would not repeat until Red Dirt Girl in 2000. Harris herself has described the album as a "country opera"; in a BBC Radio 2 programme recounting her career in 2006, she related how the album was a commercial "disaster" upon its release, its relative failure meaning she had to work "for money" again. Two singles from the album performed disappointingly by Harris's standards, although the single "White Line" was a reasonable success, reaching # 14 on the country charts.
