Trio is a collaborative album by American singers Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris.

[1] Some of the fruits of those aborted 1970s recording sessions did make it onto the women's respective solo albums.

During this time, Ronstadt and Harris also covered a number of Parton's compositions — Harris covered "Coat of Many Colors" and "To Daddy", and Ronstadt recorded "I Will Always Love You"—for inclusion on their various solo albums during the mid- to late-1970s.

Billboard published a review in the issue dated March 14, 1987, which said, "If the 'new traditionalists' in country music still have a body of work to draw from, it's largely because these three celestial songbirds kept it alive and vibrant throughout the adulterated '70s.

Crossover is certain and will most likely be instantaneous, fueled by Ronstadt's current ride atop the Hot 100—in a duet with James Ingram—with 'Somewhere Out There'.

"[5] A review in the March 14, 1987, issue of Cashbox said, "The long-awaited collaboration of three of country/pop’s greatest voices is an unqualified success.

The near-perfect song selection gives the three ample room to develop subtleties and nuance that in places is heart rending (listen to "Telling Me Lies").

These three singular voices blend together in seamless harmony, floating over the sweetest country melodies and poignant understated lyrics.

Augmented by an assemblage of some of the best sidemen available, including Albert Lee and Mark O'Connor among them.

The album's fourth and final single, "Wildflowers", was released in March 1988[11] and peaked at No.

The album won the Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.

[12] It was also nominated for Album of the Year[13] alongside Michael Jackson, U2, Prince, and Whitney Houston.
