Against The Grain Archives

10 February 2001
To celebrate the release of The Houston Kid, the new album by Rodney Crowell, I put together a retrospective of his career, and included a recent interview as well as a couple of tracks from the new CD which will be in stores this Tuesday (2/13) on Sugar Hill Records. Thanks to everyone who phoned in with your comments from as far away as Florida and Hawaii! Tonight's show was divided into three parts: at 7pm we mixed it up as usual, at 8 it was the Rodney Crowell special, and at 9:30 we celebrated Valentine's Day!
