Rodney Crowell
Rodney Crowell is one of those comma collectors that seem to come out of Nashville. Writer, producer, arranger, solo performer, sidesman, engineer. Pretty much anything you can turn your hand to.
He's one of those people that's been around longer than you think and done a lot more than you'ld imagine. He even managed to take seven years out to ensure that his four daughters got the contact time they needed.
Rodney is also at home in a lot of musical genres, folk, blues and a host of different country styles. This gives him a huge repertoire of songs to draw on.
Cambridge is awash with great singer songwriters this year, Rodney Crowell is more than capable of getting in there and mixing it with them.
Come to that he's not a bad guitar player either.
POST FESTIVAL VERDICT
Rodney, brought his particular blend of hot, sweaty, Southern blues rock to the Mainstage at Cambridge and we loved it. Supported by a band of fine musicians, Rodney brought the stage to life. It was Americana with a a very contemporary twang. It was song driven roots rock with plenty of punch. As you can probably tell, I liked it.
