Award-winning singer-songwriter Ron Crowder is widely considered one of Albuquerque鈥檚 most talented and versatile musicians. On Friday, Aug. 28, he will celebrate the release of his new album, 鈥淢oving at the Speed of Life,鈥� with a live concert at Fusion | 708. He will be joined by his Ron Crowder Band, featuring Chris Ishee, Dimi DiSanti, John Bartlit, Colin Deuble, Alex Murzyn and Teri Lynn Browning.

鈥淚鈥檝e been a background guy for a long time. I鈥檓 a studio guy,鈥� Crowder said. 鈥淚鈥檝e got a recording studio in Albuquerque and have produced a lot of artists, in town and otherwise. 鈥� A few years ago, I decided I鈥檓 getting older and maybe I should put out my own stuff.鈥�

Over the years, Crowder has shared stages with internationally renowned musicians from Three Dog Night to The Zombies to multiple-Grammy winner Fantastic Negrito. His efforts as a songwriter, producer and recording engineer have earned him numerous New Mexico Music Awards, including recent wins for Song of the Year, Producer of the Year and Best Recording Engineer.

But he felt a growing desire, he said, to step out of the background.

鈥淪o, I started doing that, putting out some singles here and there. And I decided to put out a collection,鈥� Crowder said. 鈥淵ou know how authors 鈥� in the old days, at least 鈥� used to publish short stories in The New Yorker or wherever, and then they would wind up coming out with a collection? That鈥檚 the way I look at this album; it鈥檚 a collection of songs.鈥�

鈥淢oving at the Speed of Life鈥� includes songs that previously won Best Pop Song, Best R&B Song and Best Adult Contemporary Song at the New Mexico Music Awards when they were released as singles.

Crowder started working on these songs during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the most part, he said, he didn鈥檛 preplan who his collaborators would be, but relied more on luck.

鈥淎 lot of it was due to the pandemic. Things were shut down, so a lot of times it was like, 鈥楢ll right, well, who鈥檚 in the studio today?鈥欌�� Crowder said. 鈥淎nd they鈥檇 wind up on one of the tracks that we recorded.鈥�

Crowder had no shortage of talented artists coming through his studio. Among the musicians who contributed to 鈥淢oving at the Speed of Life鈥� are saxophonist Kebbi Williams 鈥� a founding member of the Grammy-winning Tedeschi Trucks Band, who has also performed with OutKast and CeeLo Green 鈥� and Gregg Bissonette, an elite studio drummer and sideman who has been touring as part of Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band since 2008.

Like Crowder, Williams and Bissonette are 鈥渕usicians鈥� musicians鈥� who may not be household names but who are lionized by their peers within the music industry. Bissonette, for instance, won Modern Drummer magazine鈥檚 readers鈥� poll for best 鈥淎ll Around鈥� drummer in 2023.

Although Crowder took music theory courses in college, he considers himself an almost entirely self-taught musician and producer.

鈥淚鈥檓 not sure it鈥檚 the best way, but it鈥檚 the only path I had,鈥� Crowder said. 鈥淪o, I took it.鈥�

Many of the musicians he admires were also self-taught.

鈥淧ete Townshend plays the guitar a certain way that nobody else does. And that鈥檚 because he taught himself, and he just created his own language,鈥� Crowder said. 鈥淧aul McCartney is a similar thing 鈥� he didn鈥檛 know how to read music.鈥�

For the songs 鈥淢onkey Down鈥� and 鈥淵oung Again,鈥� Crowder teamed up with the writer Daniel Rubin, best known for cowriting the screenplay for the 1993 comedy film, 鈥淕roundhog Day.鈥�

鈥溾�榊oung Again鈥� was the second song we wrote. And it was a conversation 鈥� we would get together and laugh and talk about what we wanted to write about,鈥� Crowder said. 鈥淎t one point, I was talking about how, gosh, wouldn鈥檛 it be cool to be young again? And he goes, 鈥楴o, it would be awful to be young again.鈥� And he starts bringing up all the reasons it wouldn鈥檛 be (cool), and I鈥檓 bringing up all the reasons why it would be.鈥�

The lyrics to 鈥淵oung Again鈥� alternate between nostalgia for youth and gratitude for the wisdom of age, punctuated by humorous lines about bad knees and cataracts.

鈥淭here鈥檚 that dichotomy, you know, and there鈥檚 good in both things. But we are where we are,鈥� Crowder said. 鈥淎nd that鈥檚 the catchphrase at the end: 鈥業 wouldn鈥檛 want to be young again. Only every day of my life.鈥欌��

The song 鈥淪peed of Life,鈥� meanwhile, from which the album takes its title, is about embracing opportunities at any age.

鈥淭he song is basically (saying) seize the moment, seize the day,鈥� Crowder said.
