Cimarron was a 1981 Emmylou Harris album that, like its predecessor, Evangeline, was comprised mostly of outtakes from other recording sessions that hadn't fit into any of Harris' other albums. As a result, critics at the time complained that the album was "choppy" and lacked a unifying sound. Nonetheless, the album did well on the U.S. country charts, and its single "Born to Run" (not to be confused with the Bruce Springsteen song of the same name) was a top-ten country single. In 2000, Eminent Records reissued Cimarron for the first time on CD (it had been out of print since the late 1980s), with new liner notes and a bonus track, "Colors of Your Heart."
