Steve Earle Even if he wasn't one of country music's greatest songwriters, Steve Earle's life would still be the stuff of legend. Born in 1955, the Texas-born Earle cut his teeth as a songwriter in Nashville in the late '70s and early '80s, eventually recording the seminal Guitar Town(1985), which established his reputation as a country singer with a rock 'n roll heart. But like his hero Townes Van Zandt, Earle had a hellhound on his trail -- substance abuse and other bad-boy behavior were part and parcel of the Steve Earle package. By the early '90s, he was a pariah in the music industry, an unrepentant dope fiend with a two-ton chip planted firmly on his shoulder. A brief stint in the hoosgow (for a heroin bust) helped him kick the drugs, setting the stage for one of the greatest comebacks in music history -- 1995's Train 'a Comin' was a knockout punch, an acoustic reclaiming of turf that showed Earle's songwriting chops (and wry sense of humor) were as strong as ever. His subsequent studio releases -- I Feel Alright (1996), El Corazon (1997) and The Mountain (1999) -- have only added luster to his reputation as a singer and songwriter of uncommon depth. He remains one of the leading lights of the alt-country movement. |

Alt-Country, Rock | |||
| Country music's answer to Bob Dylan dials in this well-produced -- but seriously dull -- slice of pseudo-zen babble. Steve, we liked you better with the hellhound on your trail... |
