Fretboard Journal Live: Rodney Crowell (Interview + Music)

[@joesartini2903]

Just amazing amazing brilliant.

[@rubbersole79]

Rodney Crowell is one of those artists who towers below the radar. Just fantastic.

[@SStuermer]

How am I just hearing this? What a true gift to this chaotic world this human brings with his music! Thank you, thank you, thank you for having the courage to be a real artist.

[@natelance]

His songs always make me cry! Even my dog Charlee loves Rodney!

[@marjoriebrown412]

I love his singing,and all his music ! My dream is to meet him someday. It would be a dream come true. I guess. But few dreams actually come true.

[@marjoriebrown412]

It would be such an honor to meet this man!

[@donnaadams9981]

Glad to see that you're out and about and making new music you still make the guitar Singh and you just put it all together so nicely

[@yaakov2342]

Love Rodney Crowell. Funny thing about this interview! It took place on my 61st birthday!

[@pktdbgnzwl]

Love his singing and playing. Thanks to Rodney for all the years of fine music.

[@daisyflowers9334]

Rodney: "I wouldn't presume that my career would be worthy of anybody's attention" Is he kidding. I'm just amazed at the humility of this Man. I could listen to his music for hours. It's real, honest, and from the heart and experience of life. He is probably the closest to Merle Haggard, in his down to earth style.

[@carolbenson6524]

My new favorite country artist...listen to him all day..such a great songwriter!

[@MichaelJohnson-fr5su]

I had no idea Rodney was such a fine guitar player. It's as if he gets out of the way and lets the guitar sing with its own voice. I'm not surprised really, the man is a master.

[@lwhowell4387]

Rodney is an Iconic singer songwriter. Rock of My Soul cuts me to the core.

[@tomball3258]

Thanks FJ for producing this piece-one of the great treasures of the songwriting world.

[@jimallen8]

Brilliant songs.

[@venidaisabelle9611]

So glad I had the honor of meeting Rodney recently... Got a lot of catching up to do, as he said he has written a lot of songs since Ieft...I spent 40 years in Connecticut, raising two boys, pretty much alone and working hard [not a lot of music time]. Good to be me, retired back home in Tennessee.

[@mikeporter5421]

Hey Fretboard folks, once again thank you for all your hard work I really love the interviews. All the best.

[@shvl-hd5459]

Just watched Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell,in Heart worn highways on you tube,down to earth people.He looked so happy sittin' around that table.

[@jessesmit2907]

Great writing, great playing, great sense of melody - just found out about this guy. Fretboard Journal has been my favorite KZbin channel for a while now and will probably stay that way!

[@waynelyles9475]

Does this guy know who he is in the company of..a freaking legend...THE BEST...

[@deloresdindlebeck918]

He is truly a great artist.

[@davidp158]

Rodney is the real deal!

[@SiggyMe]

Great interview thoughtful, especially like his description and explanation between song writing and book writing. Great performance, nice Gibson 00.

[@HMJohnsonGuitar]

I enjoyed this!

[@camcook7241]

Theres a song. Crying the blues over the guitars that got away.

[@themanwhonevermissed]

Waay cool ...

[@deloresdindlebeck918]

Great

[@paulj.ingram2839]

I’ve always wanted to hear about his collaboration with Steve Lukather on Hate Everything About You. How did that come about?

[@donnaadams9981]

He collects he collects guitars like I collect spinning

[@donnaadams9981]

Wheels.

[@leonwhittington1773]

DaliLama, Charlie Brown and Rodney Crowell make me wanna stick around.

[@jamestutsock20]

Wonderful though the sound at the Tiny Desk concert is better, there is some distortion coming from the guitar mike but easy to ignore with such beautiful songs. Now that I'm retired I can go find him rather than wait for him to come to Atlanta. The Outsider album is a truly electric Rodney at his best.

[@TrevorMarty69]

What kind of capo is he using? I have an L 1 and that neck is a tree trunk. I'd love to learn what he's using.

[@fretboardjournal]

During this session, he was using a G7th capo.

[@orange70383]

How does one do this.

[@9ramthebuffs9]

These should be put out as podcasts too

[@jukejointjack]

Who makes the guitar hanging up on the wall?

[@Danh103663]

Kay Jimmy Reed

[@lindalabluepearson3297]

FAVORITE

[@lindalabluepearson3297]

FAVORITE ,,, Linda LaBlue by birth

[@johnfagerwinkle5651]

What is the name of the 2 songs he performs here ? ?

[@mairianncullen8753]

They are on his Tarpaper Sky album - 'Famous Last Words of a Fool in Love' and 'The Flyboy and the Kid'.

[@bobsteele4310]

Show guitar?

[@fleadoggreen9062]

Good song but so sad ! Lord I may go out for a little exercise

[@Ravenscaller]

65 years you had to use finger picks like all the cool folk singers except I never liked them and didn't use them and still don't. Finally, finally I feel vindicated so many top pickers like Rodney and Mark Knopfler and Vic Gill pick with bare fingers. Rodney and Emmylou have always played Gibsons. It's interested that he's on a Martin show mostly touting Gibsons.
