Esteemed musician, songwriter and author Rodney Crowell has teamed up with New West Records to release <i>Tarpaper Sky</i>, his new self-produced album. It comes fast on the heels of <i>Old Yellow Moon</i>, Crowell s critically lauded collaboration with Emmylou Harris, which won a 2013 Grammy® Award and was named 2013 Album of the Year by the Americana Music Association.<br>Crowell has pushed the boundaries of country, folk and roots music since long before the term Americana was coined as a genre, making a name for himself and gaining respect as both a songwriter and as an artist. Celebrating 40 years of making music, Crowell has created an album that harkens back to some of his most revered and loved works. <i>Tarpaper Sky</i> would sit comfortably on the shelf right between the chart-topping fan favorite <i>Diamonds and Dirt</i> (1988) and <i>Life Is Messy</i> (1992). This album marks a reunion of the creative partnership of Crowell and musical accomplice Steuart Smith, who was an integral part of his overall sound during the late 80s.
