Grammy-Award winner Rodney Crowell's new Lone Star-themed album, TEXAS, is set for release on August 15, and includes a star-studded list of featured artists.

"For the last few years, I'd been writing Texas-centric songs and revisiting some of my tunes from as far back as the mid-seventies," Crowell said. "Last year, I started referring to the collection of songs as the TEXAS album."

Featured artists on the album include: Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, Ronnie Dunn, Billy F Gibbons, Randy Rogers, Vince Gill, Lee Ann Womack, Steve Earle, Ringo Starr and more. As the recording timeline grew, so did the number of guest performers.

"Interestingly it all started with Ringo Starr who, through a mutual friend, let me know he was keen to record a track," Crowell added. "Before I knew it, Lee Ann Womack, Ronnie Dunn, Willie Nelson, Randy Rogers, Lyle Lovett and Vince Gill had climbed on board. Ray Kennedy and I took hold of the production reins, enlisted a cast of bad ass musicians and voilá, TEXAS was born. Man, was it a fun record to make."

To celebrate the record, Crowell is paying a visit to SiriusXm's Outlaw Country channel to host a show entirely devoted to Texas, airing multiple times during the release week.
