Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell will release their second duet album, titled The Traveling Kind, on Tuesday, May 12 (Nonesuch Records). The Traveling Kind follows their 2013 project Old Yellow Moon, which earned Best Americana Album at the 56th annual Grammy awards. Old Yellow Moon also brought Crowell and Harris Americana Music Association nods in 2013 for Album of the Year and Duo/Group of the Year.
The Traveling Kind, produced by Joe Henry, consists of 11 duet tracks, including six new songs penned by Harris and Crowell, with co-writers Mary Karr, Cory Chisel, Will Jennings, and Larry Klein. The project also includes new renditions of Crowell’s “No Memories Hanging Around” and Lucinda Williams’ “I Just Wanted To See You So Bad,” and Amy Allison’s “Her Hair Was Red.”
Crowell and Harris will perform a series of shows this month in San Francisco, Nashville, Napa, Chicago, and New York, before making the trek to Australia and Europe this summer.
