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.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
