Texaan Rodney Crowell brengt op 15 augustus het album “Texas” uit met gastoptredens van een aantal Texanen zoals Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, Lee Ann Womack, Ronnie Dunn, Steve Earle, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons en Randy Rogers. Daarnaast staan er gastoptredens op van non-Texanen Vince Gill en Ringo Starr.
“For the last few years, I’d been writing Texas-centric songs and revisiting some of my tunes from as far back as the mid-Seventies,” Crowell says in a statement. “Last year, I started referring to the collection of songs as the Texas album…. Ray Kennedy and I took hold of the production reins, enlisted a cast of badass musicians and voilá, Texas was born.”
Het album wordt op 15 augustus uitgebracht, 5 dagen nadat Rodney bevestigd is als lid van The Texas Country Music Hall of Fame in Carthage, Texas.
