-[Release Notes]
While Rodney Crowell first gained widespread recognition as a leader of
the new traditionalist movement of the mid-'80s, he in fact was a
singer, songwriter, and producer with roots and ambitions extending far
beyond the movement's parameters. Born to a musical family on August 7,
1950, in Houston, TX, Crowell formed his first band, the Arbitrators,
while in high school, and in 1972 moved to Nashville to become a
professional musician. There, he struck up friendships with
singer/songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark.
Crowell's first big break came while he was performing as a lounge
singer, where one of his acoustic sets was heard by Jerry Reed.
Crowell's own "You Can't Keep Me Here in Tennessee" caught the ear of
Reed and his manager, and two days later Reed recorded the song after
signing Crowell to his publishing company. In 1975, Crowell moved to Los
Angeles to join Emmylou Harris' Hot Band as a guitarist, and soon became
one of her primary songwriters; among the Crowell compositions Harris
first popularized were "Till I Gain Control Again," "Ain't Livin' Long
Like This," "Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight," and "Bluebird
Wine." In 1977, Crowell exited the Hot Band to form his own group, the
Cherry Bombs, and in 1978 released his first album, Ain't Living Long
Like This; surprisingly, given that he had built his growing reputation
as a songwriter, his first two minor hits — "Elvira" and "(Now and Then,
There's) A Fool Such as I" — were both covers.
Also in 1978, Crowell began producing tracks for the album Right or
Wrong, the American debut from singer/songwriter Rosanne Cash; around
the time of the record's 1979 release, he and Cash married. In between
recording his own 1980 sophomore record, But What Will the Neighbors
Think, and producing Cash's commercial breakthrough Seven Year Ache,
Crowell's songwriting career took full flight when "Leavin' Louisiana in
the Broad Daylight" hit number one for the Oak Ridge Boys in 1980. Among
his other significant compositions were "Till I Gain Control Again" (a
number one for Crystal Gayle in 1983), "Shame on the Moon" (a Top Five
pop hit for Bob Seger in 1982), "Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's
Dream)" (a 1984 number one for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), and
"Somewhere Tonight" (a number one in 1987 for Highway 101).
In 1980, Crowell issued his own first hit, "Ashes by Now," which was a
Top 40 pop crossover success; the follow-up, "Stars on the Water," was
popular with both pop and country listeners. In 1981, he issued his
third LP, a self-titled effort which was not commercially successful;
when a fourth effort was rejected by his label, he turned his energies
to writing and producing, most significantly helming Cash's 1987
masterpiece King's Record Shop. At Cash's urging, Crowell reignited his
performing career in 1986 with the acclaimed Street Language, an
eclectic effort co-produced by Memphis soul legend Booker T. Jones.
In 1988, Crowell finally broke through commercially with Diamonds &
Dirt, a record which generated an unbroken string of five number one
singles with "It's Such a Small World" (a duet with Cash), "I Couldn't
Leave You If I Tried," "She's Crazy for Leavin'" (co-written by Guy
Clark), "After All This Time," and "Above and Beyond." Keys to the
Highway was also highly successful.
Crowell and Cash divorced in 1991, prompting both artists to document
their marriage's dissolution with starkly confessional albums; Crowell's
1992 Life Is Messy featured guests Steve Winwood and Linda Ronstadt.
Switching to MCA Records for Let the Picture Paint Itself in 1994, he
followed with Jewel of the South the next year. In 1997, he formed the
Cicadas with longtime backup musicians Steuart Smith, Michael Rhodes,
and Vince Santoro. He married singer Claudia Church in 1998, and in 1999
wrote her country chart debut, "'What's the Matter with You Baby."
Crowell issued his first album since 1995, The Houston Kid, in 2001.
Continuing in the autobiographical vein of that record, he released
Fate's Right Hand in 2003, followed by The Outsider in 2005.
