Rodney Crowell re-teams with producer Joe Henry for a collaborative effort with author Mary Karr entitled Kin (due June 5 on Vanguard Records).  The album, featuring the likes of Emmylou Harris, Norah Jones and Lucinda Williams, among many others – was recorded over a long span in LA, Nashville and New York.  As a fan of Crowell and Karr (and just about everyone else involved), I am really looking forward to this one!
