Rodney J. Crowell (born August 7, 1950) is a American country music singer/songwriter who is considered to be part of both the alternative country and the mainstream country music camps. For three years he was part of Emmylou Harris’ “Hot Band”; later he gained mainstream popularity as a solo performer with a serious of critcally-claimed albums released during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Crowell was born in Houston, Texas to James Walter Crowell and Addie Cauzette Willoughby. A contemporary of Steve Earle and, like Earle, influenced by the (songwriting) greats Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt, Crowell played guitar and sang for three years in Emmylou Harris’ “Hot Band”.
He was married to Rosanne Cash (daughter of famous singer/guitarist Johnny Cash) from 1979 to 1992 and had a great influence on her career, producing most of her albums during that period. They collaborated on a number of duets, including 1988’s “It’s Such a Small World.” Though Crowell and Cash are now divorced, they remain on friendly terms, performing together occasionally. Six years after the breakdown of his marriage to Rosanne he married Claudia Church.
Although best known as a songwriter and alternative country artist, Crowell enjoyed mainstream popularity during the late 1980s and early 1990s. His critically acclaimed album, 1988’s Diamonds and Dirt, produced five No.

I saw Crowell in 1994 and he was a blast back then. His music then, pales to his most recent work " Houston kid" and Fate's Right Hand". His writing is always his strongest suit

I especially like the song 'Fate's Right Hand'. Both albums ''Fate's Right Hand' and 'The Houston Kid' are amazing.

Yikes. Where are the plays attached to greats like Diamonds and Dirt or Keys To The Highway? I know Rodney Crowell grew as an artist and those are 80's and 90's staples...but dang...there are a hell of a lot of good songs on those albums too, folks!
