One word describes the CD Fates Right Hand from Rodney Crowell... AWESOME! Rodney Crowell has been a super star in the Rock genre for quite a while now and Fates Right Hand is an excellent illustration as to why.
The nice thing about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Rock isn’t your favorite style you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.
Overall Fates Right Hand is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Rock fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.
While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 4 - Time To Go Inward, track 8 - It's A Different World Now, and track 11 - This Too Will Pass.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Still Learning How To Fly. Great track!
