EC--do you mean Guitar Town from Steve Earle?  I hope so because big Steve is where it is at.  That was a great record.

Steve kicked heroin in prison in the early 1990s and has come back with 8 amazing albums since.  He is a true patriarch.

Yep.  I mean Steve Earle.  I love him.  LOVE him.  hellacious loves him, too.  A lot.  I think a lot of people do.
(You should get the DVD called Heartworn Highways to see a very young, very wicked Steve Earle.  :))

EC--have you seen the video Steve and The Dukes put out about four years ago in support of the Transcendental Blues tour.  I forget the name of it, but I have it somewhere in the film archives.  

That was when Steve was going through his 1960s-Vietnam era U.S. Army issued glasses phase.  They were those huge, thick-rimmed spectacles.  He's definitely a trend setter.

No I haven't seen that!!  Is it like a music video, or was it a full dvd/video thing?

[kymoose]

Yo EC--it was a full show filmed in Canada, shortly after Transcendental Blues came out.  I picked it up in the Ville at ear-x-tacy--but, I'm sure that amazon or one of the other sites would have it in stock.

He pretty muck plays every song off TB as well as some old tunes like "Fearless Heart."  It is definitely a much watch.
