Our Take
Our Take
Rodney Crowell's "The Chicago Sessions" is a delightful romp through the intersection of country and blues, with a dash of southern charm thrown in for good measure. Crowell's smooth vocals glide effortlessly over the soulful instrumentation, creating a sound that is both toe-tappingly infectious and deeply emotive.
From the rollicking opener "Flatland Hillbillies" to the melancholic beauty of "The Border," Crowell showcases his songwriting chops with a masterful touch. The album's production, overseen by the legendary Joe Henry, is crisp and clean, allowing each instrument to shine through without overpowering Crowell's vocals.
However, where "The Chicago Sessions" truly shines is in its guest collaborations. From the haunting harmonies of Emmylou Harris on "I'll Show Me" to the funky grooves of Billy Gibbons on "56 Fury," each guest adds a unique flavour to the mix, making for a truly captivating listening experience.
Overall, "The Chicago Sessions" is a triumph for Rodney Crowell, showcasing his talent for crafting heartfelt songs that stick with you long after the record stops spinning. With its blend of genres and stellar guest performances, this album is a must-listen for fans of country, blues, or just damn good music. Grab your cowboy boots and get ready to two-step the night away with Rodney Crowell.
