Evangeline was a 1981 album by Emmylou Harris that was comprised mostly of leftover material from past recording sessions, which hadn't fit into any of her other albums. Songs included a remake of "Mister Sandman" (from the ill-fated trio sessions with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt), "Evangeline", 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 sold well. A single release of "Mister Sandman" 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.
