Americana literati Rodney Crowell continues down the path blazed by his previous three records with Sex & Gasoline. Crowell bounded onto the music landscape in 1988 with the Top 40 crossover album Diamonds and Dirt, which produced an astonishing five number one singles and a Grammy Award for the single "After All This Time." As part of Emmylou Harris' original Hot Band, Crowell's musical pedigree is unquestionable, at one time even earning him the right to remake Johnny Cash's singular "I Walk the Line" with Cash himself singing Rodney's reworked melody.

Ever since 2001’s The Houston Kid, Rodney Crowell has been a man with a mission.
