Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Rodney Crowell is hitting the road for a one-of-a-kind tour in support of his recently announced lyric book, WORD FOR WORD, due out September 13.

The unique tour will find Crowell reading passages from his book, and performing songs he’s released over the years. The WORD FOR WORD Tour, a 13 date-trek with more dates to be announced, will kick off on September 27 in Kansas City, Missouri, making stops in Baton Rouge, Austin, Houston, and Dallas, before wrapping on November 19 in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
