| |

| While Rodney Crowell first gained widespread recognition as a leader of |

| the new traditionalist movement of the mid-'80s, he in fact was a |

| singer, songwriter, and producer with roots and ambitions extending far |

| beyond the movement's parameters. Born to a musical family on August 7, |

| 1950, in Houston, TX, Crowell formed his first band, the Arbitrators, |

| while in high school, and in 1972 moved to Nashville to become a |

| professional musician. There, he struck up friendships with |

| singer/songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark. |

| |

| Crowell's first big break came while he was performing as a lounge |

| singer, where one of his acoustic sets was heard by Jerry Reed. |

| Crowell's own "You Can't Keep Me Here in Tennessee" caught the ear of |

| Reed and his manager, and two days later Reed recorded the song after |

| signing Crowell to his publishing company. In 1975, Crowell moved to Los |

| Angeles to join Emmylou Harris' Hot Band as a guitarist, and soon became |

| one of her primary songwriters; among the Crowell compositions Harris |

| first popularized were "Till I Gain Control Again," "Ain't Livin' Long |

| Like This," "Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight," and "Bluebird |

| Wine." In 1977, Crowell exited the Hot Band to form his own group, the |

| Cherry Bombs, and in 1978 released his first album, Ain't Living Long |

| Like This; surprisingly, given that he had built his growing reputation |

| as a songwriter, his first two minor hits — "Elvira" and "(Now and Then, |

| There's) A Fool Such as I" — were both covers. |

| |

| Also in 1978, Crowell began producing tracks for the album Right or |

| Wrong, the American debut from singer/songwriter Rosanne Cash; around |

| the time of the record's 1979 release, he and Cash married. In between |

| recording his own 1980 sophomore record, But What Will the Neighbors |

| Think, and producing Cash's commercial breakthrough Seven Year Ache, |

| Crowell's songwriting career took full flight when "Leavin' Louisiana in |

| the Broad Daylight" hit number one for the Oak Ridge Boys in 1980. Among |

| his other significant compositions were "Till I Gain Control Again" (a |

| number one for Crystal Gayle in 1983), "Shame on the Moon" (a Top Five |

| pop hit for Bob Seger in 1982), "Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's |

| Dream)" (a 1984 number one for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), and |

| "Somewhere Tonight" (a number one in 1987 for Highway 101). |

| |

| In 1980, Crowell issued his own first hit, "Ashes by Now," which was a |

| Top 40 pop crossover success; the follow-up, "Stars on the Water," was |

| popular with both pop and country listeners. In 1981, he issued his |

| third LP, a self-titled effort which was not commercially successful; |

| when a fourth effort was rejected by his label, he turned his energies |

| to writing and producing, most significantly helming Cash's 1987 |

| masterpiece King's Record Shop. At Cash's urging, Crowell reignited his |

| performing career in 1986 with the acclaimed Street Language, an |

| eclectic effort co-produced by Memphis soul legend Booker T. Jones. |

| |

| In 1988, Crowell finally broke through commercially with Diamonds & |

| Dirt, a record which generated an unbroken string of five number one |

| singles with "It's Such a Small World" (a duet with Cash), "I Couldn't |

| Leave You If I Tried," "She's Crazy for Leavin'" (co-written by Guy |

| Clark), "After All This Time," and "Above and Beyond." Keys to the |

| Highway was also highly successful. |

| |

| Crowell and Cash divorced in 1991, prompting both artists to document |

| their marriage's dissolution with starkly confessional albums; Crowell's |

| 1992 Life Is Messy featured guests Steve Winwood and Linda Ronstadt. |

| Switching to MCA Records for Let the Picture Paint Itself in 1994, he |

| followed with Jewel of the South the next year. In 1997, he formed the |

| Cicadas with longtime backup musicians Steuart Smith, Michael Rhodes, |

| and Vince Santoro. He married singer Claudia Church in 1998, and in 1999 |

| wrote her country chart debut, "'What's the Matter with You Baby." |

| Crowell issued his first album since 1995, The Houston Kid, in 2001. |

| Continuing in the autobiographical vein of that record, he released |

| Fate's Right Hand in 2003, followed by The Outsider in 2005. |
