I really like that guy.....his version of "dead flowers" is great....also his appearance with Keith at the Gram Parsons tribute ("wild horses" among others) was wonderful...

What about some new Stones-"country"recordings??? Mick is a great country singer, I love Woody on pedal-steel and slide, Keith playin' piano/guitar and Steve Earle as guest

He also did Before they make me run

i prefer his missus' music

he's also performed 'take it or leave it' in concert and (on the last tour with the Dukes), "Sweet Virginia". lookin' forward to seeing his two shows here in january - with the missus again....

"take it or leave it"....is one of my 'secret' favourites...

"you can turn off and on
more times
then a flashing neon sign...."

really great

Who is his missus?

'The Duel' is my favourite Moorer album.
(The last collaboration, with Butch Primm, her then-husband).
Saw her touring it - she was amazing.

Not so keen on the Earle-produced 'Getting Somewhere'.
Lightweight and disappointing.
Here's hoping the newie, slated for early 08, is a return to form.

In shows circa 2000 Transcendental Blues tour would close every final encore with btmmr. very cool; very moving, very appropriate. that live version of df IS amazing, quite agree, and that version of The Dukes was total killer. such a great songwriter and he often covers others in his concerts (with the Dukes anyway) ...
interestingly (to mois anyway) i've heard him do 'no reply' and 'revolution' by the beats as well (with The Dukes)...the latter of which almost tore my head off...it was two and a half years ago and i still have goosebumps.

i love it when he intros df and tells that he got the song off of a hillbilly band from england, or some such...then he rips right into it.

imo very easily one of the most amazingly consistent best songwriters we have on this planet.

have also heard him do the chamber bros. "time has come today" in concert many times, complete with two drummers as is the original. Sheryl Crow duets with him on this one on the recording and stopped in hob sunset to perform it with him. has a tom waits cover (theme song from THe Wire TV show) on the new album.

plus his book of short stories 'doghouse roses' was credible and worthwhile.
I'm not a lit crit, but certain of the stories seemed like they needed a little more body and flow; on the other hand, several stories were fascinating and i read them hungrily, including the first one from whence the title cometh 'doghouse roses' ... it's about as harrowing and viciously visceral a drug tale (and a true one) as you can imagine. thank goodness we got him back.

he has an official website but i like the "unofficial" one for easy access to lyrics per album, lottsa cool stuff...

Steve Earle RULES...

Just put on the Unrepentant....woof.

JR

Steve Earle and Supersuckers take of Before They Make Me Run is a goodun...

And Steve's burn-out of Nivarna's Breed sure chews up some E-lectricity...



ROCKMAN

This Place Is Empty is terrific as a country ballad...and would make a great soul ballad too!

leave it to you terry to come up with the rare hot electric essentials thus far missed. yep sir rockman, that version of breed will blister the paint and is not for the faint
of heart.
god that almost rhyhmed.
agree about the supersuckers sessions too...
but that 'breed' version with The Dukes tore the flesh off my face...in the most delicious way...get's the highest BB award; the 'holy moly'

His best cover though is that incredible version of "Johnny Too Bad" with the V-Roys that appears on 'Sidetracks'

Yeah, his covers are great...but the man deserves credit for his stuff...From Guitar Town to Telephone Road...he rules....NOBODY out there plays better live.

JR

The cover of Steve Earle's The Mountain on
Levon's newie Dirt Farmer is a mighty mighty thang....





ROCKMAN

If you have not seen him live, you MUST!

He flavors each show with vignettes, covers, and a whole lotta soul!

NOT to be missed, and one of THE great American songwriters of any generation!

..........he was on last night on MTV-HD channel with Roseanne Cash....his band sounded great.

according to the original "unofficial" steve site (linked in an above post,) just noticed the following info:
"Steve will be on NBC's Law and Order SVU on November 20th" -- -- (a popular crime/courtroom/detective drama tv show in usa)
