Although she had released the obscure Folk -styled '' Gliding Bird '' five years earlier, ''Pieces of the Sky'' was the album that really launched the career of Emmylou Harris , and widely considered to be her début. In those intervening years she had forged a musical relationship with the late Gram Parsons that would forever alter the style of music that her career would take. The album includes Harris' first high-charting Billboard country hit, the #4 "If I Could Only Win Your Love", and the relatively low-charting #73 "Too Far Gone" that actually charted earlier. Featured songs that were not hit singles are "Boulder to Birmingham" and the Merle Haggard -penned "Bottle Let Me Down". The album rose as far as the #7 spot in the Billboard country albums chart.
