Pivotal membership in Emmylou Harris` Hot Band and his marriage to Nashville royalty Roseanne Cash probably didn`t hurt, but Rodney Crowell`s emergence as one of the leading figures of the `80s return to traditional country styles was primarily due to his clear talent as a songwriter and singer. The 12-track THE RODNEY CROWELL COLLECTION, released to capitalize on the critical and commercial success of 1989`s KEYS TO THE HIGHWAY, compiles the best moments of his late `70s and early `80s work for Warner Brothers.
Gathering hit singles and key album tracks, the set is a near-chronological overview of Crowell`s progression, from his rock-tinged earliest songs, to more stripped-down and acoustic material, which pointed towards his later work for Columbia and MCA. Highlights include "Shame on the Moon," which Bob Seger later turned into a minor pop hit, and the almost Randy Newman-like "Voila, An American Dream."
