Rolling Stone Rodney Crowell Previews New Album With Urgent ‘Something Has to Change’
Singer-songwriter will release
Rodney Crowell will drop a new album called
Triage via his own RC1 label and Thirty Tigers on July 23rd. The first single, “Something Has to Change,” is out now.
An urgent mid-tempo tune with particularly pointed lyrics, “Something Has to Change” addresses inequality and discord, conditions that influenced the rest of the writing on
Triage. “It’s greed, it’s not money/Through which evil works/The haves and the have-nots, just one of the perks,” Crowell sings, with a backdrop of mellow electric keys. The accompanying video shows Crowell singing live in the studio with his band, mask in hand.
Austin 360
The sublime Oakwood Cemetery Chapel, designed by Charles Page in 1914 and rededicated after a major retooling in 2018, has been closed to the public since March 2020.
That has not stopped parks employees the Austin Parks and Recreation Department oversees the city s oldest cemetery, founded in 1839 and their collaborators from creating digital exhibits that tell essential stories and relate back to the graveyard and its past.
These story maps have dealt with a pioneer Black leader, the Rev. Jacob Fontaine; Austin s Tejano history and Mexican American burials; music and musicians interred at Oakwood; people who fought for Texas independence from Mexico; the Austin suffrage movement; and a broad look at grief, loss and love across cultures.
