About Chelsea Crowell

Product Description (Vinyl LP with download card) An eclectic beginning of a powerful songwriter, this album runs the gamut, showcasing everything from stripped back folk to produced country pop, all with a knowing wink. Chelsea Crowell is the 2nd daughter of 3 between songwriting legends Rosanne Cash and Rodney Crowell. The craft is in her DNA and it shows. The only 3rd generation family member making music today, the shadows hang large over her but the music speaks for itself. Following up on the recording sessions of her first band, Jane Only, Crowell recorded her eponymous solo debut with Nashville producer Loney John Hutchins. The two play on a majority of the record and Crowell even manned the controls at times. Featuring additional musicians such as William Tyler and Brian Kotzur of the Silver Jews band, Chelsea Crowell explores everything from historic yarns in Where the Hell Is Robert E. Lee to deeply personal songs such as The Run. Available in CD digipak and 150 gram vinyl with download card, Chelsea Crowell is a must listen for any fan of the Cash legacy. It is a beautiful start to a promising career. Review ...features as much dark folk influence as it does country music, with instrumentation that brings to mind Nick Cave just as readily as Townes Van Zandt or Gram Parsons. What's more, the girl knows how to write a wistful lyric or two. As far as debuts go, this one certainly shows a lot of promise. -- The Nashville Scene's D. Patrick Rodgers
