I was a massage therapist in Austin, Texas for 35 years. One day I got a call for a massage. His name was Rodney Crowell. I wasn’t a fan of country western music at the time so I didn’t know who he was. He was staying at a local hotel and was going to be playing at a concert that evening. When I had finished he invited me to bring a friend and gave me 2 tickets to his concert. My boy friend and I went and I instantly became a fan. Also, after he finished one of his songs, he said “If the young lady who gave me a great massage this afternoon is in the audience, it really helped”. Wow, how great was that! This was in approximately the early 90’s. Been a huge fan ever since.
@@xqqqme Maybe dig a little deeper?.. He's in the Nashville and Austin City Limits Halls of Fame. He had five C&W number one hits on an album, in the mid-80's, which had never been done before, or since!.. Several Grammys, for what it's worth, lol... "Ain't Livin' Long Like This"! #BigLove
"...In 2003, he was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame; in 2006 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Songwriting from the Americana Music Association; in 2017, he was honored with ASCAP’s prestigious Founder’s Award; and in 2019, he was presented with the Academy of Country Music’s Poet’s Award. In addition to his prolific output as a singer, songwriter, and producer, Crowell also found time to become a celebrated author, too, publishing his memoir, Chinaberry Streets, and a lyrical retrospective, Word For Word, to widespread praise. Along the way, NPR declared him the “literarily inclined elder statesman of the Americana scene,” while Rolling Stone hailed him as a “country music trailblazer,” and the New York Times proclaimed that his songwriting “gets better and sharper with age..." The Chicago Sessions - Rodney Crowell www.rodneycrowell.com/the-chicago-sessions
Gorgeous song, and video! Brilliant harmonies too. Not sure why Audrey Spillman is not recognized in the credits, as she is a brilliant singer, and really adds to the song.
I discovered RC when I bought "Diamonds and Dirt" when it was first released. Now, years later, it amazes me that, despite what he alludes to in his song "I Don't Care Anymore", forty odd years later all his best cards have NOT been played and his creations are anything but middle of the road. Mr Crowell's music keeps getting better and more heart-touching with every new creation. Rodney Crowell is to country music what Springsteen is to Rock and Roll; an icon.
8 out of 10 people in the music business today really don't belong there. Rodney isn't one of those 8. He's the genuine article, a real artist, and he always has been.
As a singer and song writer, he is right there with the late great Gordon Lightfoot. You are not going to find many people who are at this level because it takes a special person who see's things in different ways to put the words together to make these great songs. I have great respect for Rodney and his talent and I can honestly say, there is no end to his talent. God bless you Rodney.
As always, he brings a tear and a smile in the same song. I got the chance to thank him for helping me through some hard times at the Paramount Theater in Bristol Tennessee. Such a grounded, down to earth guy. Thanks again Mr. Crowell.
Just ordered his prerelease cd the Chicago sessions that includes this song, I know people don’t buy many cd’s anymore but when you hear music played on a kickass sound system via cd it’s a whole new out of this world experience, I’m looking forward to receiving it!
This is just the sweetest, most melancholic song - I love the new Chicago Sessions. Rodney is truly the musical gift that just keeps on giving. Thank you Mr. Crowell!
I have been a fan since the 70s, you know its his vocals and writing style without seeing him. Great talent, absolutely love everything he has done and what he is still doing!
Rodney,you don't need any accolades from me, but here goes...you strike me as a man that is comfortable in his own skin and as such you have allowed the creativity and musical genius of your mind to produce these lovely masterpieces and I thank you!
I am obsessed with this song!! Saw Rodney in concert less than a week ago. When I saw this song on his new Chicago Sessions album & on the set list for second half of show, I was so excited , I have this song and several others from CS album, covered by different artists on my iPod. Have been playing this song and new CD in my car daily❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's terrifically reassuring to have RC continuing to put out excellence followed by excellence.I've been a fan since "Till I gain control again"-my first exposure some 30 35 or so years ago now. Rodney is touring this summer-I'll be seeing him at Gruene Hall in June. Fantastic cut-I await the next album due out in May
You just brought me back with my wife and I 30 years ago Rodney! Listening to you cruising the back roads in my old pickup. Loving her then. Loving her more now! Keep on Rodney!!!!
Man o man, of all your music since the 80s , this is the prettiest, most real of all. I fell in love with "Ashes By now", all the way to "I don't Care Anymore" and now this one... It is EXACTLY how I have felt each time they were first released. Almost like we're in sync. Thank you for your efforts, work and dedication to giving us your love and heart. It's not easy to be us, but who else would be able to? I'm right with you, wonder where we'll be next time...
Another classic....Damn Rodney....Your songs just evoke so many things that I can't even put into words, yet I thank God for the two ears I have to hear them! Dig, DmGrk
Wieder ein Song der einen den Alltag vergessen lässt und zum Träumen einlädt. Rodney seit über 30 Jahren Spitzen-Sänger mit nie ausgehenden Musikideen!
This was an awesome performance by two awesome singers. I've been a long time Rodney Crowell fan and, I get excited when I hear a new song. Thanks for sharing this video with us. Stan
Okay I just stumbled on this looking for some other music and I have to say I'm 55 to hear someone from back from my genre, especially Rodney crowell after all this time, yeah it's nice to see you're still putting out music Rodney I love it thank you.
Loving this song ❤! Have been a Rodney Crowell fan forever and the collaboration with Jeff Tweedy is truly interesting and I can't wait to hear the album in it's entirety. ...oh, and I LOVE the hat!

good story
Wow great story,thanks for sharing
When you're a Rodney Crowell fan, you really feel sorry for those who have never discovered him and excited for those who have yet to find his songs.
I try and share his songs but nobody listens. It makes me feel bad they are missing out
How do you feel for those who've been introduced to him but, having listened to some of his songs, still don't see what the fuss is about? 😄
Exactly !

I thought the same. I don't know her and tried to figure it out so thank you.
@@brendahughes1963 My pleasure. It struck me as odd that she wasn’t recognized for her beautiful addition to the song. 🤷🏻♀️
@@LydiaManuel Puzzled me as well; what a shame. Thank you for putting her name in here #AudreySpillman @AudreySpillman
A beauty, and with nice voice!
Thank you, I love Audrey Spillman velvety voice, and this fabulous song, I have loved it since it was played on the Nashville tv show, 10 years ago.

Immediately strikes me as a Rodney Crowell master piece. Songs like these are badly needed at the moment. Many thanks!

Is anyone else concerned at how he looks? I dearly hope he’s making music for years to come.
Just a musical genius. Long may he continue.
I’ve always been amazed how easy it is for him to sing. Soothing to the soul.
We all need to feel Rodney's heart and soul.....in these dark days......he gives hope.....
Rodney is a national treasure. Somebody I'd love to see in concert.
I have seen him dozens of times and whether he is with a band or solo the music is always spectacular.
He is hands down the best live performer in the country.
And, along with Steve Earle, America's finest living sonwriter.@@richardsepulvado6918
Fortunate enough to see Rodney in the original Hot Band with Emmylou Harris, been a fan ever since
one of the most underrated singer songwriter
I’m a HUGE fan of Rodney Crowell. Great song writer and musician. I don’t think I’ve heard a song yet I haven’t liked.
As always, he brings a tear and a smile in the same song. I got the chance to thank him for helping me through some hard times at the Paramount Theater in Bristol Tennessee. Such a grounded, down to earth guy. Thanks again Mr. Crowell.
I have been a fan since the early 80's and I still listen to all the CD's. Keep the great music coming!!
Just ordered his prerelease cd the Chicago sessions that includes this song, I know people don’t buy many cd’s anymore but when you hear music played on a kickass sound system via cd it’s a whole new out of this world experience, I’m looking forward to receiving it!
He always makes a song that gets to me in a way, I can’t explain.
I know exactly what you mean.
A CLASS ACT.....

Rodney is one of the rarer talents. The real deal!

Wow! ❤️
Omg,this is so sweet.💛
Beautiful song Rodney ,glad you decided to release it!🙏
This song has lyrics that really hit home in my now relationship. I 💘 it, but it also makes me very 😥 sad. He is a remarkable writer, songwriter.
Just discovered this song. Shamed to say I've not heard of him before. This is a beautiful song, simple but profound.
I will investigate more.
Great song, great vocals. Love this man’s music.
Bee a fan for many years, he is def one of the best singer/songwriters still around. Under appreciated for sure
To Rodney Crowell. This is one awesome song, it touched my heart so keep writing these beautiful songs. Awesome!!!!
Fantastic song!💕
A beautiful melancholy melody, it strikes a nerve at the heart
Beautiful song! Those voices together? Magic!! @1:47 it's like you're looking at angels.
LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
My goodness! I just happened upon this and it's absolutely beautiful!
Absolutely great, gonna cover this one on the next open mic…
Awesome song! Still loving to hear your beautiful voice!!

Strange, when you have done it all, where else can go.❤️🎶
Very impressed by Audrey Spillman.

Tough seeing our favourite singers from the past getting older…but he still sounds great
And still one of the absolute best songwriters of all time.
This was an awesome performance by two awesome singers.
I've been a long time Rodney Crowell fan and, I get excited when I hear a new song.
Thanks for sharing this video with us.

Cool, cool.song. Rodney so glad you are back. Sam Baker. Keep it up. So tired of tired songs on radio with no heart, I love art.
Okay I just stumbled on this looking for some other music and I have to say I'm 55 to hear someone from back from my genre, especially Rodney crowell after all this time, yeah it's nice to see you're still putting out music Rodney I love it thank you.
On a side note it's got a little Tom Petty feel to it

Beautiful. Thank you!
Really good hope to hear more
Thank you, shared!
Magistral
