Rodney Crowell’s New Culinary Soundtrack
Legendary singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell is returning to the music scene with his upcoming album, "Airline Highway," set for release on August 29, 2025. Produced by the talented Tyler Bryant in the earthy setting of New Orleans, this album is a rich mosaic of the city's soul and spirit. With each note, Crowell beautifully reflects the vibrant culture of Music City, offering listeners a taste of the roots that make Nashville so unique.
Collaboration with Nashville’s Best

Other notable collaborations include Ashley McBryde and Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke, highlighting the connection between established legends and rising stars in Nashville.
Embracing Nashville’s Swamp-Pop Heritage
Set against the backdrop of Louisiana's musical heritage and the narrative of the Texas-Louisiana borderlands, the album captures the authentic spirit of swamp-pop. Crowell reflects on his early inspirations, those thrilling escapades where he would sneak across state lines to soak in the sounds of The Boogie Kings. It’s a sonic journey that speaks to both nostalgia and the current musical landscape.
Nurturing Nashville's Community Spirit
Crowell’s career, which spans over five decades, is nothing short of remarkable. This album is not just a collection of songs; it's a heartfelt expression of gratitude to the musicians who journeyed with him. “This record is a document of me falling in love with these musicians,” he said, and that passion resonates in every track. Much like the thriving Nashville community, this album emphasizes the importance of collaboration and creativity, something every local resident can appreciate.
