Rodney Crowell : Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight (1982)

[Lostchord1000]

A great song, and I think Rodney sings it better than anyone. Emmylou Harris did a fine version too, of course.

Emory Gordy Jr., Tony Brown, Richard Bennett... all legendary producers today.

I can't understand why this doesn't have more views. It's one of my favorite songs and he nails it live. I won't tell you how that makes me feel about people today. If you're here, you probably feel the same way.

I love him, but I had not heard him do this song, more familiar with the Emmylou version. This was the song my husband and I sang riding down the dirt roads in Arizona in the 80s. Thanks for the post!
