There’s something very simple, very innocent about it. “When my daughter suggested we lay the artwork out similarly, the connection made perfect sense. “In a lot of ways, this album feels like that very first record to me,” Crowell reflects. While looking at the cover of The Chicago Sessions, listeners might recognize a familiar callback to Crowell’s 1978 debut, Ain’t Living Long Like This. In my estimation, it’s as close as I can get to working with Townes Van Zandt or Felice and Boudleaux Bryant - people who crafted songs with a very specific sensibility. Sounding both fresh and familiar, it’s among Crowell’s very best work.Īs Tweedy puts it, “The way that Rodney writes is deeply connected to a classic era of country songwriters that I’ve always loved. The masterful, cross-generational collaboration follows Crowell’s acclaimed 2021 album Triage and finds the Nashville veteran delivering an incisive, engaging collection that balances careful craftsmanship with joyful liberation at every turn. T HE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “ Rodney Crowell’s latest album The Chicago Sessions was produced by Jeff Tweedy and recorded by Tom Schick at Wilco’s Loft in Chicago.
