Crowell hopes to get "Lucky"

Wednesday, April 19, 2023 – Rodney Crowell released the video for "Lucky," a song on his forthcoming disc, "The Chicago Sessions."

The clip features Crowell wearing John Lennon's legendary suit worn during the opening of The Beatles' debut film "A Hard Day's Night."

Crowell said, "For the past 30-odd-years I've owned the suit John Lennon wore in the opening scene of 'A Hard Day's Night,' a birthday gift from Rosanne Cash courtesy of a Sotheby's auction of Fab Four memorabilia. I've worn it in public a few times, once on the David Letterman show and before that on a country music award telecast. Only Roger Miller ever took notice. Smiling, he made the keen-eyed comment, 'I like your teddy boy suit, Rodney.' For the 'Lucky' video, we hit on the idea of paying tribute to '60s black and white, rock and roll TV shows like Hullabaloo and Shindig. For me, the wardrobe choice was simple: Saville Row gaberdine."

Joshua Britt & Neilson Hubbard-directed the video.

Crowell previously released the video for the album's first single, "Everything at Once," which features footage filmed at The Loft during recording. A co-write with album producer Jeff Tweedy, the song walks a tightrope between hope and despair.

"The Chicago Sessions" will be out Mauy 5 on New West Records.

CD reviews for Rodney Crowell

CD review - The Chicago Sessions 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. It finds Crowell expressing gratitude, beginning with the upbeat opener, "Lucky," and continuing with one about the power of love, which posits that - no matter what life may bring – being loved will get you through it all. Crowell sings these songs, most of which he wrote, quite well as always. ...
CD review - Texas Rodney Crowell is a rare breed of a country songwriter. Yes, he knows how to write traditional country songs; it's just he's also a deep thinker, which requires extra effort on the part of the listener to appreciate them fully. "Texas" is just as varied as his everything-is-bigger home state. It's also a star-studded affair, which even includes none other than Ringo Starr. "Brown & Root, Brown & Root" includes an historical introduction from ...
CD review - Christmas Everywhere Rodney Crowell's "Christmas Everywhere" is a (mostly) melancholy collection of songs, with Christmas time as its setting. It's a strong set of carefully worded tunes, set to widely varying musical backings. All 12 tracks are originals, so if you're seeking out 'Rodney Crowell performs holiday favorites,' this is certainly not for you. However, if you're a little tired of all the trappings associated with the winter season, you'll find an empathetic soul in Crowell. ...
