Spyboy is a 1998 live album by Emmylou Harris and her backing band, Spyboy. The band was formed for a tour performing songs from her career-redefining 1995 album Wrecking Ball.
Taking a stripped-down approach, Harris is backed by a trio comprising country singer-songwriter Buddy Miller on guitar and New Orleans musicians Daryl Johnson on bass and Brady Blade on drums. Along with material from Wrecking Ball, such as "Where Will I Be" and "Deeper Well", the album includes songs from earlier in her career, such as "Born to Run" from Cimarron, "I Ain't Living Long Like This" from Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town, "Love Hurts", which she first performed with Gram Parsons, and "Boulder to Birmingham," her ode to Parsons from Pieces of the Sky.
