Rodney Crowell, The Houston Kid, 2001 on Sugar Hill Records

Released on CD in 2001 but issued on vinyl for the first time in 2024, this was Crowell’s tenth full length album. Johnny Cash (Crowell’s former father-in-law) is featured on “I Walk The Line (Revisited).”

It’s a bit of an autobiographical concept album as Tony Scherman lays out in “Great Songwriter Mines His Past” – but you don’t have to know any of that to get it as a wonderful collection of songs.

My copy is the 2024 VMP reissue on “sepia marble” vinyl, pressed at GZ Media and cut by Barry Grint. (I think it’s still the only vinyl edition).

The Border is the 75th solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Willie Nelson. It was released on May 31, 2024, through Legacy Recordings. Produced by Buddy Cannon, the album contains four original songs by Nelson and Cannon along with six songs from songwriters such as Rodney Crowell, Shawn Camp and Mike Reid.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine at AllMusic considered The Border as a sequel to Nelson's 2022 record A Beautiful Time, finding the "levity" in an album where Rodney Crowell contributes the "weightier material", concluding that The Border "doesn't quite feel like a final chapter but rather a welcome coda restating Nelson's strengths with casual ease." - Wikipedia

Guy Clark, Old No. 1, 1975 on RCA Victor

Guy Clark’s debut album, out in 1975 on RCA Victor, reissued here by Vinyl Me Please in their Country track in 2024. Cover painting by his wife Susanna Clark.

Backing vocalists here include Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, and Steve Earle – among a shortlist of the folks Guy Clark was a tremendous influence on. Liner notes by Jerry Jeff Walker (of “Mr. Bojangles” fame) credited as Jerry Jeff Waffle.

Includes “Desperados Waiting For A Train,” “L.A. Freeway,” and “Texas – 1947,” all recorded by other major artists in the 70s. What a fantastic songwriter.
