@bdp24, Eric, I bought The Houston Kid on vinyl mainly from your recommendation that it is your favorite Crowell album. No regrets! I have several of the artists you mentioned above on VMP/AAA (among others), and am impressed. The 30% off sales for AAA is nice these days.

Checkfield - Water, Wind. and Stone. 80s new age jazz up there with Metheny and Winter

 

@slaw: Rodney played at The Roxy on Sunset Blvd. in support of the release of The Houston Kid, just he playing an acoustic guitar accompanied by an electric guitarist (Steuert Smith) and bassist (the great Jerry Scheff, a favorite of mine and T Bone Burnett).

While I missed a drummer, they were of course fantastic. Sitting alone at the table next to mine---and watching & listening intently---was Dave Alvin (my gal was stoked; she’s a big fan of The Blasters). The show was not only very enjoyable, but also a master class in songwriting, singing, and musicianship. They were as good as it gets.
