About

Rodney Crowell is that rare country music artist who’s remained true to the sounds that excited him as a kid and who's managed to keep his commercial credentials within the industry—he’s a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and a GRAMMY® winner. 2014’s <i>Tarpaper Sky</i> follows two collaborative albums: 2011’s <i>Kin</i> with novelist Mary Karr and 2013’s <i>Old Yellow Moon</i> with fellow country legend Emmylou Harris. Yet here, Crowell is still collaborating in a sense. The album was largely recorded live in a room without headphones with an illustrious small band consisting of bassist Michael Rhodes, drummer Eddie Bayers, and guitarist Steuart Smith. The intimacy of “God I’m Missing You” and “I Wouldn’t Be Me Without You” suggest not a dry eye in the room by each song's end. With the jacked-up rhythms on the Will Jennings cowrite “Fever on the Bayou,” you might hear the ghost of Hank Williams’ “Jambalaya.” “The Long Journey Home” hits on a type of Americana country-rock that never goes out of style.
