Rodney Crowell's Gear
They’re pretty fantastic guitars, all of them. Sterling Ball gave me a1932 Gibson L-00 and a Collings C10 that I’ve played for 10 years. I also have a wartime Gibson J-45 that Ben Bullington gave me. Those are exactly the kinds of guitars I’d be buying if they weren’t given to me. So I guess my belief is that guitars are meant to be given away … or stolen. (Laughs.)
I still have a Martin D-35 guitar that I played. And I replaced the Tele I had with a Blue Tele that I gave to Danny Flowers. Fortunately I’ve been given a lot of guitars. Johnny Cash gave me a wartime herringbone Martin D-28 that he played on his television show, and it was stolen, too. So my stories about guitars are all about the ones that got away.

Ahh. I had a 1952 blackface Fender Telecaster that every guitar player I know would salivate over. And it was stolen. The Hot Band’s equipment truck was stolen; it was a theft ring in Champaign, Ill. We got a note saying, “We’re returning Emmylou’s guitar and Albert Lee’s guitar. Don’t ask any more questions.”
