STOCKHOLM (AP) – Emmylou Harris is one of the winners of the Polar Music Prize. The award jury says Harris’ voice “follows the contours of the American landscape, from the highest peaks to the endless prairie.” Harris says she is “both surprised and honored at the news of this most prestigious award.” The prize comes with cash: $120,000. Harris will receive her prize in Stockholm on June 9. Scottish percussionist Evelyn Glennie is also a winner of the prize.
