Rodney Crowell is a contemporary of Steve Earle and, like Earle, was also influenced by the greats Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt. Rodney played guitar and sang for three years in Emmylou Harris' 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.

Although best known as a songwriter and alternative country artist, Crowell enjoyed mainstream popularity during the late 1980s and early 1990s. His critically acclaimed album, 1988's Diamonds and Dirt, produced five No. 1 hits during a 17-month span in 1988 and 1989. ~ More at Wikipedia
