Our Take

Rodney Crowell's latest offering, Tarpaper Sky, is a delightful romp through the dusty backroads of Americana. The man knows how to spin a yarn, and he does it with such ease and flair that you can't help but be drawn in. From the twangy guitars to the heart-wrenching lyrics, this album is a masterclass in storytelling.

Crowell's gravelly vocals are the perfect vehicle for his tales of love, loss, and redemption. He weaves intricate narratives that are both deeply personal and universally relatable. Whether he's singing about heartbreak or hope, you can't help but be moved by the emotion in his voice.

The instrumentation on Tarpaper Sky is top-notch, with each track carefully crafted to enhance the storytelling. The twanging guitars, swooning pedal steel, and gentle piano melodies create a lush backdrop for Crowell's poignant lyrics.

Standout tracks include the rollicking "Frankie Please" and the haunting "I Wouldn't Be Me Without You." These songs showcase Crowell's songwriting prowess and his ability to craft unforgettable melodies.

Overall, Tarpaper Sky is a triumph for Rodney Crowell. It's an album that deserves to be listened to from beginning to end, savouring each note and lyric. So grab your cowboy hat and your favourite pair of boots, and take a journey through the musical landscape of Tarpaper Sky.
