|                                                                            |
|  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.              |
|                                                                            |
