The PBS music series “In Performance at the White House” has a familiar face in its latest episode. Birmingham’s Emmylou Harris returned to perform for the salute to “The Gospel Tradition.”

Joined onstage by duet partner Rodney Crowell and Carolina Chocolate Drops’ Rhiannon Giddens, the trio performs the old-time hymn “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.”

See the performance at 29:32.

The concert took place April 14 and debuted Friday on PBS. Harris performed in 2010 at the White House as part of the Gershwin Prize ceremony for Paul McCartney.
