I've liked Copperhead Road from the first time I heard it and danced to it (there is a line dance called copperhead road) and I have heard bits of the later stuff. Steve Earle is an incredible person given all he has overcome in his life and an exciting musician. I'm gonna seek out "The Killer Angels" and the two CDs mentioned on the strength of the above comments. I just got done watching "Ride with the Devil" and am in the right mood for some Earle.
