Rodney Crowell (born August 7, 1950) is a country
music singer/songwriter who was born in Houston,
Texas.  He is considered to be part of both the
alternative country and the mainstream country
music camps. He is a contemporary of Steve Earle
and, like Earle, was also influenced by the
(songwriting) greats Guy Clark and Townes Van
Zandt. Rodney played guitar and sang for three
years in Emmylou Harris's "Hot Band".


He was married to Rosanne Cash from 1979 to 1992
and had a great influence on her career, producing
most of her albums during that period.  They
collaborated on a number of duets, including
1987's It's Such a Small World.  Though Crowell
and Cash are now divorced, they remain on friendly
terms, performing together occasionally.  Six
years after the breakdown of his marriage to
Rosanne he married Claudia Church.
