Crowell and Tweedy join forces for the ‘Everything at Once’ video. The first single from Rodney Crowell’s new album ‘The Chicago Sessions’ shows the artist and his producer Jeff Tweedy recording the song in Wilco’s The Loft studio. Stylized to look like an old home movie on Super 8 film the viewer gets a peek behind the scenes as his band, guitarist Jedd Hughes, pianist Catherine Marx, and bassist Zachariah Hickman lay down their tracks.
Tweedy describes working on the record, “The way that Rodney writes is deeply connected to a classic era of country songwriters that I’ve always loved. In my estimation, it’s as close as I can get to working with Townes Van Zandt or Felice and Boudleaux Bryant — people who crafted songs with a very specific sensibility. And I like being near that.”
‘The Chicago Sessions’ will be released on 5th May, 2023, via New West Records. Including ‘Everything at Once’ there are eight new songs, one that Crowell wrote in the seventies and a Townes Van Zant cover.
