The Traveling Kind is a 2015 studio album from American roots musicians Rodney Crowell and Emmylou Harris, their second collaboration after 2013's Old Yellow Moon. The album has received praise from critics. The duo managed to record this album more quickly than their former release, but took longer composing original songs, rather than focusing on cover versions, as with their last album.
