FlashBack! - Emmylou Harris - Luxury Liner (1977) (album stream)

Luxury Liner ranks as Emmylou Harris' best-selling solo record to date, and it's one of her most engaging efforts as well; her Hot Band is in peak form, and the songs are even more far afield than usual, including Chuck Berry's "(You Never Can Tell) C'est la Vie" and Townes Van Zandt's painterly tale of aging outlaws, "Pancho & Lefty."

I added a couple of Bonus tracks from the "Elite Hotel" album, which was the album I wanted to post but it is not on Grooveshark, hence this excellent second choice ;).

From wikipedia
Luxury Liner was the second successive #1 country album for Emmylou Harris on the Billboard Music Charts, although, unlike the preceding Elite Hotel, there were no #1 hits from this album. The highest charting singles were the #6 Chuck Berry cover "(You Never Can Tell) C'est la Vie" and the #8 "Making Believe" (originally a hit for Kitty Wells).

"Luxury Liner" (Gram Parsons) – 3:41
