Old Yellow Moon

Old Yellow Moon, a new collaborative album from Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell, is the first official collaboration from the duo since Crowell joined Harris’ Hot Band as guitarist and harmony singer in 1975. The 12-track duets album features four songs written by Crowell as well as interpretations of songs such as Hank DeVito’s ‘Hanging Up My Heart’, Roger Miller’s ‘Invitation to the Blues’, and Allen Reynolds’ ‘Dreaming My Dreams’, among others. The album will come just months after Emmylou’s recent Australian tour.

A multi-Grammy-award winner whose songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Norah Jones, Etta James and Grateful Dead among others, Crowell’s 1988 breakthrough Diamonds and Dirt, generated five #1 singles and a Grammy Award for the song ‘After All This Time.’ His critically acclaimed works The Houston Kid, Fate’s Right Hand, The Outsider and Sex and Gasoline were followed by the 2010 release of his memoir, Chinaberry Sidewalks.

Produced by Brian Ahern (Johnny Cash, George Jones, Roy Orbison, a number of Emmylou’s classic early albums and Rodney’s 1978 debut), Old Yellow Moon features world-renowned musicians including Stuart Duncan, Vince Gill, and Bill Payne, as well as members of the original Hot Band.
