Crowell flies with new video
Crowell said, "'Loving You Is the Only Way to Fly' is something I wrote a while back with Sarah Buxton and Jedd Hughes, both of whom appear on the record. Jedd and I were sitting around with guitars in our hands when he started playing the basic chord pattern. I'm pretty sure the title sprang from something Ben Vaughn said to me back when we were writing 'When Losers Rule The World,' but I haven't had the nerve to ask. Ben, if you read this, I wish you could've been there. If you feel left out, you can have my portion of the proceeds, and I'll take credit for putting Jeff Tweedy in charge of overseeing a pretty dang decent recording of the song. Much love, Rodney."
Crowell previously released the video for the album's first single, "Everything at Once," which features footage recorded at The Loft during recording.

CD reviews for Rodney Crowell
Coming off an unintentional trilogy of albums — "The Houston Kid," "Fate's Right Hand" and "The Outsider" — establishing him as an equal to mentors — Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Mickey Newberry and the like — and contemporaries — notably Steve Earle, Rosanne Cash, Lucinda Williams — in 2005, Rodney Crowell returned to the studio with longtime collaborator Steuart Smith to record his next album.
Despite quality songs and ...
2025 has been a big year already for Rodney Crowell. In addition to "Oh What a Beautiful World," Willie Nelson's acclaimed album of Crowell covers, he was also inducted into the prestigious Texas Institute of Letters alongside such literary lions as Cormac McCarthy and Larry McMurtry. And although this ageless icon with the impish grin somehow turned 75 while we weren't looking, he shows no signs of slowing down and no intention of resting on his laurels. ...
Having Jeff Tweedy (a fan) produce Rodney Crowell's "The Chicago Sessions," was a smart move. He doesn't over embellish these 10 fine songs, which don't need any gussying up.

Crowell sings these songs, most of which he wrote, quite well as always. ...
