KIN: Rodney Crowell and Mary Karr

Nashville songman Rodney Crowell has penned hits for Norah Jones, Bob Seger and Van Morrison, and recently won a Grammy nomination for his own album Sex & Gasoline. His latest enterprise teams him with author Mary Karr (The Liars' Club) for a folksy songwriting project titled KIN; the album features Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris and Kris Kristofferson and is a pleasantly rollicking, rootsy affair.
