Rodney Crowell: Street Language (Columbia)
James Hunter, Rolling Stone, 6 November 1986
RODNEY CROWELL'S credentials as a first-rate country-pop producer (for his wife, Rosanne Cash, on Seven Year Ache and Rhythm and Romance) and songwriter ('Till I Gain Control Again', 'I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me') are firmly established. He's kept a lower profile as a singer, and it's been five years since his last record. With Street Language, his first album with CBS, Crowell makes his bid for an Eighties audience.
