Elite Hotel was Emmylou Harris's second album to be released in 1975, following the widely acclaimed success of Pieces of the Sky, and even bettered its predecessor on the Billboard Music Charts, becoming her first #1 country album. Two of its tracks were also #1 country singles: "Together Again" and Harris' cover of the Patsy Cline hit "Sweet Dreams", while "One of These Days" made it to the #3 spot. A cover version of The Beatles's "Here, There and Everywhere" actually entered the pop charts at #65. Harris' eclectic musical tastes were reflected in her choice of material by Hank Williams, the Beatles, Gram Parsons and Buck Owens.
