Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Americana literati Rodney Crowell continues down the path blazed by his previous three records with ''Sex & Gasoline''. Crowell bounded onto the music landscape in 1988 with the Top 40 crossover album ''Diamonds and Dirt'', which produced an astonishing five number one singles and a Grammy Award for the single 'After All This Time.' As part of Emmylou Harris' original Hot Band, Crowell's musical pedigree is unquestionable, at one time even earning him the right to remake Johnny Cash's singular 'Ring of Fire' with Cash himself singing Rodney's reworked melody. With his new album ''Sex & Gasoline'', he continues to write about contemporary themes. ''Sex & Gasoline'' was produced by Joe Henry and contains what Crowell says are, ''some of the best performances I've given to date.'' For the new material Crowell and Henry brought in some of music's most skilled sidemen including Doyle Bramhall II (acoustic and electric guitar), Greg Leisz (acoustic and electric guitar, pedal and lap steel, mandolin, mandocello and dobro), Patrick Warren (piano, pump organ and Chamberlin), David Piltch (upright and electric bass) and Jay Bellerose (drums and percussion).
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating: - Moving Work of Art
Moving Work of Art is one of the songs on this CD and it is a reasonable title for this review. Fate's Right Hand may be Rodney's best album, but I think Sex and Gasoline will be getting more listens from me----it just goes down easier. Good production by Joe Henry with a host of outstanding musicians in the studio. I am happy with my purchase.
Rating: - Rodney's search for the truth
I have every album and CD that's ever been released by Rodney Crowell, and they're all great in their own way.There's no one else in Guitar Town who writes like him - no one.You have to give him credit - he's never satisfied with making the same album over and over again, like a lot of his other Nashville counterparts.But, I've noticed in his search for the truth in his last three CDs, although the writing is top notch as always, and deep and probing, I feel like he's kind of forgetting ...

Rating:  - an almostoh well
I have to agree almost word for word with Mr. Cadagan.Having been a fan of R. C. for a long time and have always awaited his new efforts, some hit, some don't, like most artist, this doesn't quite get there.His song writing is thoughtful and close to being thought provoking but not as vibrant as the last several efforts.I will have to say I like his uptempo releases the best.This comes close to putting me to sleep.Maybe I can find the right mood for it and maybe after a couple more listens ...

Rating: - Paying The High, Dark Price Of SEX & GASOLINE
Over the course of his last couple of releases, starting with 2003's FATE'S RIGHT HAND and continuing with 2005's THE OUTSIDER, Rodney Crowell has moved further and further away from the country stylings that made him one of the most acclaimed songwriters of the last 30 years. In it's place, he's increasingly embraced the darker, more probing aspects of the all-encompassing genre now known as Americana. Said switch peaks here with the brooding, beautiful SEX & GASOLINE. Things start on a strong note ... Read More
Rating: - An Excellent Release from a Modern Day Songwriter
As of this writing, there have only been two reviews of this CD. Does this mean that the CD is not selling well? Or does it mean that the buyers do not care to write a review?
I hope the latter. This is a great CD. A little more "acoustic" than his previous two releases, but still some great songwriting and musicianship. It doesn't get much better than Doyle Bramhall II playing lead guitar.
Rodney Crowell's music is neither country or rock, but is better than anything you will hear ... Read More
