One of Rodney Crowell's earliest gigs was playing guitar in Emmylou Harris' band in the Seventies; now they've teamed again for Old Yellow Moon, a collaborative album with four new tracks written by Crowell and eight covers. Here, they ride effortlessly over the expansive horizon of "Hanging Up My Heart," by their frequent collaborator and steel guitarist Hank DeVito. "No more rodeo dances, no more howling at the moonlight," sings Harris. But despite the tinge of sorrow, it sounds like these country souls have found peace in what they're giving up. 

Old Yellow Moon is due February 26th. Pre-order it here.

“My President”

Young Jeezy | 2008

Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
