Rodney Crowell has announced the upcoming release of his new album, Airline Highway, on August 29 via New West Records. The 10-song project was produced by Tyler Bryant and recorded and mixed by Trina Shoemaker, and features high-profile collaborations with Lukas Nelson, Larkin Poe, Ashley McBryde, and Charlie Starr. “This record is a document of me falling in love with these musicians,” says Crowell. “That’s one of the great perks of this job—falling in love with the people you’re playing with. And we caught that on tape.” In addition to recording his new album, Crowell also recently completed his tenure as the 2025 Spring NYU-Americana Artist-In-Residence. The 74-year-old country star mentored students and collaborated on songwriting workshops, culminating in a concert presentation titled “It All Starts With A Song” that featured Crowell performing alongside a select group of students.
