Glad you asked! -g He's the real deal: a rock n roll, bluesy singer-songwriter who is utterly original, IMO. He served a prison term (for what I can't remember, but either elp or Losty can tell you, most likely)and has a great gravelly voice. EDIT: This from the web site: Steve was arrested and sent to prison for possession of narcotics, which, ironically, may have ultimately saved his life. He successfully completed a rehab program and was paroled in late 1994 Here are the lyrics of the title track of a recent album: Transcendental Blues (Steve Earle) In the darkest hour of the longest night If it was in my power I'd step into the light Candles on the alter, penny in your shoe Walk upon the water — transcendental blues Happy ever after 'til the day you die Careful what you ask for, you don't know 'til you try Hands are in your pockets, starin' at your shoes Wishin' you could stop it — transcendental blues If I had it my way, everything would change Out here on this highway the rules are still the same Back roads never carry you where you want 'em to They leave you standin' there with them ol' transcendental blues Transcendental Blues (Steve Earle) In the darkest hour of the longest night If it was in my power I'd step into the light Candles on the alter, penny in your shoe Walk upon the water — transcendental blues Happy ever after 'til the day you die Careful what you ask for, you don't know 'til you try Hands are in your pockets, starin' at your shoes Wishin' you could stop it — transcendental blues If I had it my way, everything would change Out here on this highway the rules are still the same Back roads never carry you where you want 'em to They leave you standin' there with them ol' transcendental blues And here's a link to a website about him: steveearle.net His politics are to the left of yours, but he's a good soul and a truly gifted musician.
