Album Notes & Community Reviews

Transitioning out of Emmylou Harris's Hot Band to pursue a solo career, Rodney Crowell delivered a highly polished, commercially oriented sophomore album. 'But What Will the Neighbors Think' embraces the slick, radio-friendly aesthetics of the urban cowboy movement, prominently featuring the hit single 'Ashes by Now'. It successfully established him as a premier songwriter capable of bridging country roots and mainstream pop.
