04 May 00 - 06:46 PM (#223192) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: dixieland From: Stewie Pete, I am surprised you are unaware of Steve Earle. He has recorded some great stuff. He has a new album due out soon, but evidently he is rocking a bit harder than he has for a while. If you want to check him out, I would recommend 'Guitar Town' and 'Train A-Comin', the latter with support by Norman Blake, Emmylou Harris, Pete Rowan and Roy Huskey. You can find out a bit about him and his discography from the unofficial site: Cheers, Stewie. |

It was my pleasure to supply the lyrics for you - it's an excellent song. Stick around at Mudcat, it's a great place. Cheers, Stewie. |

04 May 00 - 08:56 PM (#223262) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: dixieland From: GUEST,t-tone again After hitting the S. Earle site provided by Stewie it comes out. Earle confesses that he fashioned the charactor in the song after Michael Sharra's charactor from the book The Killer Angels. Interesting. In fact Earle calls this "the greatest civil war novel ever written". Well his song is also splendid with it's irish melody and ambience. |

05 Jan 02 - 09:23 PM (#621824) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: dixieland From: Midchuck You need to buy "The Mountain" CD that Earle and the McCourys did. I don't think there are any other recordings of it. If you want to hear Steve Earle, you should get Train A'Comin'. Then listen to "Tom Ames' Prayer." Before the last two verses, Norman Blake takes a guitar break. On cross-examination, Norman has stated that he didn't think up the break beforehand, he just "got the nod" and played what came out. This may have been the greatest spontaneous flatpick guitar solo ever captured on a recording. Or I may be indulging in hyperbole because I have a cold and my head is foggy. You decide. Peter. |

Where they landed often determined which side they fought for. Those landing from VA south and on to the Gulf ended up in Confederate gray. |

06 Jan 02 - 02:22 AM (#622034) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: dixieland From: Coyote Breath 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. CB |

14 May 07 - 10:15 PM (#2051929) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dixieland (Steve Earle) From: GUEST,Scoville The Mountain is worth it for the entire CD, by the way, not just "Dixieland". But then, we're big Earle fans in this house. The Original Unofficial Steve Earle Website is here; I think it's as close as he gets right now to having a site. He's also on New West Records. "Fort Worth Blues", his tribute to Townes Van Zandt, is also a great song. Transcendental Blues is probably my favorite album but since it's his usual country/rock and not bluegrass-y it's quite different from The Mountain (although most of his mature albums have something Celtic-flavored on them; on TB it's, obviously, "Galway Girl"). |
