GUEST,slickerbill Steve Earle Controversy (48) RE: Steve Earle Controversy 22 Jun 05


I've caught his show twice in the last two years. One of the most reasonably priced shows I've been to in I don't know how long. And the guy gives you your money's worth, let me tell you. Played for about three hours both times. His encore set is incredible; 60's protest covers like the Isley Bros. "Time Has Come Today". Great mix of acoustic and electric (that is if he's got the Dukes with him. I've heard his solo show is great too).

To me Steve is a songwriter's songwriter. His tunes are beautiful yet incredibly simple. I'm a Dylan fan too, but where you sometimes listen to a Dylan lyric and go "what the hell was that about?", I find it just doesn't happen too often with Steve. And to pull his career out of the fire like that is just amazing. sb
