About this album
Ain't Living Long Like This is Rodney Crowell's breakthrough as a writer and performer, bringing sharp country-rock songwriting into the late-1970s outlaw and Nashville scenes. Released in 1978, the album helped establish Crowell as a major voice in modern country, mixing road-worn urgency with melodic hooks and a literate, hard-bitten perspective. Its title song became especially well known through later covers, while songs such as Elvira and Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight underline Crowell's gift for vivid character, humour and regional detail. The record is widely regarded as one of the foundations of his long, influential career.
