Rodney Crowell

A former member of Emmylou Harris’ Hot Band, Crowell was best known for the hits he gave away (including Bob Seger’s “The Distance”) when he broke through with “Diamonds & Dirt.” This year’s “Acoustic Classics” finds Crowell revisiting songs he gave away, including tunes that topped the country charts for Tim McGraw and Keith Urban.
