Trio II is the second collaborative studio album by Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. It was released on February 9, 1999, by Asylum Records.
A dozen years after the release of their Platinum, Grammy-winning Trio album, the country music supergroup returned with another in the same vein. The songs were recorded in 1994 by Parton, Harris and Ronstadt, but label disputes and conflicting schedules prevented their release at the time. Eventually, Ronstadt remixed five of the album’s ten tracks (sans Parton’s vocals) to include on her 1995 album, Feels Like Home; “Lover’s Return”, “High Sierra”, “After the Gold Rush”, “The Blue Train”, and “Feels Like Home”.
