Rodney Crowell

Rodney Crowell is a Texas-born, Nashville-based songwriter, artist, producer and author whose work and career sets a benchmark for commercial success and lifelong artistic ambition and integrity in country and Americana music. His compositions, including “Til I Gain Control Again,” “I Ain’t Livin’ Long Like This” “Song For The Life” and “Ashes By Now” have been widely and successfully covered by legendary singers. He led the way as a recording artist, achieving a dazzling run of radio hits in the 1980s, followed by a series of more personal albums in the 2000s that secured his place as much more than a chart-topper. His 2011 memoir Chinaberry Sidewalks vividly fleshed out the life story of this sincere and complex artist. Crowell is a 2 time Grammy Award winner, a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the recipient of the 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting from the Americana Music Association
