Steve Earle

[JerseyGirl]

He admits the boss is superior I disagree.

I didn't post the article link to compare the two. It's just the article I was reading recently. I'm sure there are a few articles out there of Bruce praising Steve as well. They are both great songwriter's in my opinion.

I like Bruce best alone on things like Nebraska and The Ghost Of Tom Joad.

They are both great songwriter's.

Agree

Still haven't gotten this one, so I'll have to remedy that soon. I like the tunes I have heard so far.

This is a performance before Steve Earle was imprisoned. He's looking pretty rough and the video is sketchy, but it's hard to question his passion. The set list is one of my favorites.

I've been on a Steve Earle marathon today while I burned a few movies....


Love, love, love Copperhead Road.


Transcendental Blues is another good album. When I first heard this album, I thought I was hearing Bob Dylan sing.....lol.....but that's not a bad thing, really, since the music is nothing but pure rocking blues.

here is a Transcendental Blues Playlist:

An interesting album is Townes....where he sings Townes Van Zant. Not the best album, but he does Van Zant justice. Townes Van Zant had an very interesting life story and I feel Steve Earle did a wonderful job of covering Van Zant's life music.

The best Townes Van Zant cover I've heard is Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard "Poncho and Lefty" but Steve Earle did it right, too:

Steve Earle has just released a new album, a collaborative album with Shawn Colvin. It's a mixture of self-written songs and cover songs.

Colvin & Earle track list:

01. Come What May
02. Tell Moses
03. Tobacco Road
04. Ruby Tuesday
05. The Way That We Do
06. Happy & Free
07. You Were on My Mind
08. You’re Right (I’m Wrong)
09. Raise the Dead
10. You’re Still Gone
11. Someday
12. That Don’t Worry Me Now
13. Baby’s in Black



With these two involved it couldn't really go wrong and it didn't. A great album which I highly recommend.

Steve Earle, the only artist that I will buy an album from without hearing a track off it first. I still think some of Earles best stuff is from his early days, Copperhead Road, Guitar Town, that stuff.
