Nascida em família de militares, Emmylou passou a infância e adolescência mudando de cidade em cidade, entre os estados de Alabama, Carolina do Norte e Virgínia. Enquanto estudava teatro na University of North Carolina, ela aprendeu a tocar músicas de Bob Dylan e Joan Baez. Em seguida, mudou-se para Nova York, para dedicar-se apenas à música. Trabalhou como garçonete e apresentou-se em clubes folk. Logo formou um trio e voltou a tocar. Em 1971, enquanto se apresentavam em um pequeno clube, foram descobertos por Chris Hillman, ex-The Byrds, à época na banda de country rock Flying Burrito Brothers. Hillman indicou Emmylou a Gram Parsons, que precisava de uma vocalista. Emmylou participou dos dois discos de Parsons, G.P. (1972) e Grievous Angel (1973) e de uma turnê que rendeu preciosos duetos entre os dois. Com a morte de Parsons ainda em 1973, Emmylou regressou a Washington e formou a Hot Band, com quem finalmente gravaria seu primeiro disco por uma grande gravadora, o aclamado Pieces of the Sky, em 1975. O álbum foi produzido por Brian Ahern, com quem se casaria logo depois. Com a Hot Band, em suas várias formações, Emmylou gravou a maioria de seus discos seguintes até Brand New Dance, de 1990. A banda revelou os músicos Ricky Skaggs, famoso nos círculos bluegrass e Rodney Crowell, compositor cuja importância transcende a música country, além de ter contado com nomes famosos, como James Burton, o lendário guitarrista de Elvis Presley. Com o fim da Hot Band, Emmylou formou a acústica The Nash Ramblers, com quem gravou o álbum ao vivo At The Ryman, em 1993. A essa altura, Emmylou já era dona de um prestígio invejável nos meios musicais e já vendera milhões de discos, mas ao invés de sossegar, ela procurava novos caminhos e, em 1995, lançou o seminal Wrecking Ball. Produzido por Daniel Lanois, que já trabalhara com Bob Dylan, U2 e Peter Gabriel, o disco é o resultado de muita ousadia e experimentalismo, com seus climas etéreos e ausência de fórmulas fáceis. Em 2000 saiu o premiado (com o Grammy de Melhor Disco de Folk Contemporâneo) Red Dirt Girl, o primeiro só de composições próprias desde The Ballad of Sally Rose, de 1985. Apesar de colocada, para fins de referência, no gênero country, Emmylou transita igualmente pelo folk, country alternativo, rock e, ocasionalmente pelo pop. Sempre interessada pelas raízes da música americana, seus discos quase sempre contêm antigas canções folclóricas, canções gospel e bluegrass. Além de compor, cada vez com mais intensidade, Emmylou gravou praticamente todos os grandes compositores de música popular, de Bob Dylan a Lennon-McCartney, passando por Bruce Springsteen, Hank Williams, Steve Earle, Louvin Brothers, Neil Young, Johnny Cash.
