Dosey Doe Coffee House presents Rodney Crowell & Band.

Here are some things you probably already know about Rodney Crowell. In 1977, he formed his own group, The Cherry Bombs, and in 1978 released his first album, Ain't Living Long Like This. A decade later he released Diamonds and Dirt, which generated an unprecedented five number-one singles, including It's Such a Small World, with Rosanne Cash, his wife and partner at the time. They split up in 1992, but they are still friends. His acclaimed autobiographical album, The Houston Kid, in 2001 marked his break from the constraints of mainstream record labels.

There have been some awards along the way: Rodney won a Grammy in 1989 for the Best Country Song: After all This Time. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003. After he re-formed The Notorious Cherry Bombs in 2004 with his old pal Vince Gill, the band was nominated for a CMA Top Vocal Group award. Additionally, hundreds of versions of his songs have been recorded over the years.
