Evangeline is a 1981 album by Emmylou Harris that was composed mostly of leftover material from past recording sessions and which did not fit into any of her other albums. Songs included a remake of "Mister Sandman" (from the much-lauded Trio sessions with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt), "Evangeline" (also featuring vocals by Parton and Ronstadt), which she had previously performed with The Band, Rodney Crowell's "Ashes By Now", and a cover of John Fogerty's "Bad Moon Rising". Though it received mixed reviews upon its release, the album was yet another commercial success for Harris. It was certified Gold in less than a year after its release. A single release of "Mister Sandman" (Top 10 country/Top 40 pop) did well on the charts, though neither Ronstadt's nor Parton's record companies would allow their artists' vocals to be used on the single, so Harris rerecorded the song, singing all three parts for the single release. Rodney Crowell's "I Don't Have to Crawl" was released as the album's second single. (Music videos were produced for both "Mister Sandman" and "I Don't Have to Crawl".)

Evangeline — студийный альбом американской певицы Эммилу Харрис, выпущенный в 1981 году на рекорд-лейбле Warner Bros. Records. Релиз достиг строчки № 5 в Top Country Albums и № 22 в Billboard 200. Наиболее удачный сингл «Mister Sandman» вошёл в Топ-10 Hot Country Songs и Топ-40 Hot 100. Пластинка стала коммерчески успешной, но представленную на ней подборку материала критики сочли сумбурной и не отвечающей стандартам качества Харрис.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
