So here's a nice energetic (if often contemplative) set from Crowell and
compadres Will Kimbrough and Guthrie Trapp, with a fine mix of classics and
new material, with the song in track 9 apparently making its public debut.
All the Googling I could do from the comfy bobinchicago command center high
atop Andersonville couldn't nail down the titles to tracks 14 or 15 either,
so help is requested on that score.

He also covers Guy Clark (track 11) and Townes Van Zandt (track 20). And
tracks 18 and 19 feature Will Kimbrough doing his own songs with Crowell and
Trapp backing him up.

The house sound was fantastic, but City Winery is a cavern and there's a bit
of boom going on here. Coming back to it after quite a while, I think it's
pretty damned fine, with the biggest problem being table noises like people
refilling their water glasses and all that. There are samples for the folks
who need them.

As always, I boosted the levels of otherwise inaudible banter. (Drives me
crazy when people don't do that. WTF, people...) And the channels were a bit
unbalanced so I brought the left up 0.5 dB and the right channel 0.3 dB. Rodney's
comments tended to take a minute or less between songs, so I didn't split them.
They're often at the ends of songs but there are a couple of times he started
strumming before he stopped talking and I opted to keep the music with the song.
