GUEST,Den at work (lunch hour) Is Steve Earl folk (38) Is Steve Earl folk 19 Jul 00


I've often pondered this. I know its hard to classify Steve and I hate catagories anyway (just play) but a lot of the stuff he does has a real rootsy feel to it. I grew up in Ireland but I recognize the people Steve is talking about. I listened to Guy Clark a lot before I heard Steve Earl and I can see where he (Steve)was influenced. I only heard about Townes Van Zandt recently and have not heard any of his material, why? I know I'm rambling a bit here but I thought this might open up a little discussion and I might learn a little more. Oh what about Lyle Lovett...OK I'll stop now. Den
