Aug 26, 2025Airline Highway provides evidence of Crowell’s literate craftsmanship as a songwriter. He doesn’t try to sing or play to impress as much as to serve the material. The songs are his master and mistress here.

UncutAug 26, 2025A finely judged set that draws deep from his Texan heritage and that of nearby Louisiana, a favourite teenage haunt of his. [Oct 2025, p.24]

MojoAug 26, 2025Crowell's clear eye for detail is evident throughout, but what gives the album its kick is the lean, clean attack that allows both barroom ravers and haikus of Zen wisdom to linger in the imagination. [Oct 2025, p.89]

Aug 26, 2025Importantly, Crowell seems to be enjoying himself. He’s teamed up with the guitarist and producer Tyler Bryant to deliver a rocking, somewhat casual, not overthought musical accompaniment. .... Crowell never minces words. He has the distinctive gift of forming rhyming couplets that are witty, evocative, and occasionally provocative.
