Synopsis

Amazon.com
Fate's Right Hand finds Rodney Crowell eschewing the hands-on autobiographical narratives of The Houston Kid (one of his best ever) for songs about less concrete, but no less essential, concerns. As the self-helpers might say, this is an album about growth, about knowing the difference between what you can change and what you can't. It's about facing your mistakes--or wishing you wanted to anyway (on "The Man in Me")--and it includes a recitation about meditation ("Time to Go Inward") and a rousing anthem about wanting to stick around, problems and all ("Earthbound"). Crowell seems to be in a particularly introspective version of the middle-age crazies, one as brave as it is obvious in its pop-psych references to Jesus and Buddha (and Minnie Pearl, too). So Crowell may likely be "Preachin' to the Choir"--if you ain't ready to look inward, you may find Fate a tad cloying. Then again, the jangling riffs, irresistible choruses, funny rhymes, and supple pop and country-rock rhythms are for everyone. --David Cantwell

Amazing album
Kevin | lost in the Piney Woods, TX | 01/14/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is my first Rodney Crowell album, it was recommended to me by a friend.

But it won't be my last Rodney Crowell purchase!

This album is fantastic! Not your standard country fare at all, these songs are deep, and the styles move from soft and sweet to boogie that makes you want to dance.

I can't think of enough good words to describe this release.

If you like good music but are tired of the crap that passes for country on mainstream radio, this is for you."
