''Roses in the Snow'' was a 1980 album by Emmylou Harris . While Harris' previous release, 1979 's '' Blue Kentucky Girl '' featured traditional, straight-ahead country (as opposed to the country-rock of her prior efforts), ''Roses in the Snow'' found Harris performing Bluegrass , with material by Flatt And Scruggs , Paul Simon , The Carter Family , and Johnny Cash . Dolly Parton , Linda Ronstadt , and Ricky Skaggs made guest appearances. A single release, a remake of Simon & Garfunkel 's " The Boxer " was a top ten hit on the US country charts in mid 1980 . Backing musicians included Albert Lee , Jerry Douglas and Tony Rice .
