Not as well-known as his frequent duet partner (and former employer) Emmylou Harris, nor as renowned as other Texas troubadours like Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, Rodney Crowell remains a vitally creative forefather in the Americana scene. Crowell, who was also once Johnny Cash's son-in-law, found himself to be an ill fit for the mainstream country machine in the 1970s, but has remained open to new paths to creativity as evidenced by this collaboration with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. Recorded at the Loft, the band's Chicago studio, these sessions are based on Crowell, who at 72 retains an expressive voice, playing it straight, most conspicuously on a lovely, respectful voice-and-acoustic guitar cover of Townes Van Zandt's "No Place to Fall." In the bluesy "Oh Miss Claudia" Crowell leans on his Houston heritage in a salute to his wife, singer Claudia Church. A collaboration with Ashley McBryde keeps Crowell in touch with the work of younger artists. And thanks to buzzy guitar, "Ever the Dark" lives in a convincing rock groove. Raised in the school of classic singer-songwriters, Crowell ends the album with "Ready to Move On," a summation of his current state of mind. As for Tweedy's influence, the melding of talents here works; he's a light but perceptible presence throughout and Crowell is too established as an artist to let anything change him or his art that dramatically. The recording is sharp, clear, and well-mixed. While their songwriting collaboration "Everything at Once," in which they swap vocal choruses is likable enough, it's in the version of "You're Supposed To Be Feeling Good" that the producer's influence is most audible. Written by Crowell and featured on Emmylou Harris' 1976 Luxury Liner album when he was a member of her band, this "Wilco-ized" version features changed phrasings and chorus chords, and a more abrupt ending that gives it an overall sunnier hue. None of these updates are outlandish or in bad taste but they do change the song's trajectory. It's a brave experiment many songwriters would never have had the confidence to try, and a nod to Crowell's continued relevance in the Americana conversation. © Robert Baird/Qobuz
