Rodney has decided to get really serious about his music the last few years, not that he was unserious about it before, and he has put out some great stuff.  I'm looking forward to hearing this one

Rodney ascended to the level he is on now (amongst the absolute top songwriters and music makers alive) with his 2001 release The Houston Kid, a great, great album. I consider it and everything he has released since a must-own.

By the way, Rodney executive-produced (whatever that means!) an album the same year by a writer and singer he very much respects, Michael Kelsh. The album is entitled Well Of Mercy, and it's a good 'un. "Regular"-produced by Bill Halverson (C, S, & N, Clapton, Albert King, Neil Young, Hendrix, The Beach Boys, many others), who has just produced Kelsh's first album since that one, Harmony Sovereign. Can't wait to hear it!

Saw Rodney in a small listening room in Richmond Virginia a few weeks ago.   Wow, he was fantastic!  Had a guitarist and a fiddler with him, both incredible artists.
