Those are two very important commodities in the title of the new album from Rodney Crowell. And Crowell has been an important Americana musician for a number of years, if but a lesser known one. Crowell played with Emmylou Harris during her formative, and his 1988 album Diamonds and Dirt was a chart-topping, Grammy-winning success. Joe Henry, a talented singer-songwriter in his own right, produced...
