	Steve Earle: Jerusalem - PopMatters Music Review
		In his eloquent liner notes (always a highlight of a Steve Earle album), he says that America's democratic society "was built to last but only if properly maintained", and the way Earle sees it, to steal a line from Charles Bukowski, the captain is out to lunch and the sailors have taken over the ship.
		Earle is trying to tell us that this was a regular kid-next-door who fell in with fanatics, a young man with a long life ahead of him, and now he's being made a scapegoat.
		Steve Earle has always been a guy who is never afraid to shoot his mouth off, and with Jerusalem, his timing is perfect, as his own razor-sharp words slice through the shallow slop of almost all 9-11-inspired music that has come out to date.

	Steve Earle MP3 Downloads - Steve Earle Music Downloads - Steve Earle Music Videos
		Earle entered the studio and cut an album of neo-rockabilly songs that the label was reluctant to send to radio and, therefore, they refused to release the record.
		Upon its appearance, Earle was grouped into the new traditionalist movement begun by Dwight Yoakam and Randy Travis, but he also gained the attention of rock critics and fans who saw similarities between Earle's populist sentiments and the heartland rock of Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp.
		Earle's refusal to condemn Lindh in his lyrics quickly made the song (and the album) a political hot potato, but Earle embraced the controversy and became a frequent guest on news and editorial broadcasts, defending his work and clarifying his views on terrorism, patriotism, and the role of popular artists in a time of crisis.

	Steve Earle Jerusalem
		Steve Earle is one of the most consistent and controversial songwriters around.
		This is the kind of thing Steve Earle does best: he is a Nashville outsider, a country music outlaw who has never been afraid to express his liberal views and opinions and really make the most of the songwriting medium.
		Earle is such an ace songwriter because he actually wants to and does make music that is timely, significant, and needs to be heard.

	village voice > music > Steve Earle's The Revolution Starts Now by Josh Goldfein
		According to the liners, Earle and band put their platform together in May so they could "weigh in," writing songs on the spot and recording each in a day.
		Then again, the really good slow Steve Earle songs are about capital punishment, and on this, his most explicitly political record, he doesn't address his signature cause.
		In May Earle knew Kerry would be the nominee; maybe he figured abolition was a wedge issue and decided to focus on uniting rather than dividing.

	Twangin'! Reviews ~ Steve Earle
		Steve Earle is one of the greatest and most underappreciated songwriters in America today.
		Earle is no stranger to the concept "acoustic" either; he's toured solo over the years ("whenever I was feeling out of touch or I needed the money").
		Earle gets inside of the songs and sings his way out of 'em, with the brilliant accompaniment of Rowan, Huskey, and Blake acting as both anchor and spur.

	RockNet Album Review: Steve Earle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Steve Earle has traveled a rocky road, and every bump, dip and pothole can be heard on the heartfelt "I Feel Alright."
		Earle's outlaw image was well-deserved, and his heroin addiction - plus the fruits of years of hard living - eventually put him in prison.
		It's a genuine Steve Earle album, feisty and in your face, and it's an album the bland hats who dominate Nashville and what passes for country music couldn't even dream of making.

	Steve Earle Downloads :: calabashmusic.com
		One of the strongest voices to come out of the Nashville singer songwriter scene, Steve Earle remains a dogged individualist, who has written country music classics, tours the US with his hard rocking band, the Dukes and has even collaborated with Bluegrass great Del McCoury.
		Steve Earle became a guiding light in the alternative country of the '90s with his ambitious blend of the attitude of outlaw country, the sheer power of heartland rock populism and the well-crafted lyrical commitment of America's greatest singer/songwriters.
		All of that would have been more than enough for most folks, but Steve Earle - like Bob Dylan, John Lennon and John R. Cash--is in it for the long haul; repeatedly uncovering and tapping into myriad sources while maintaining an artistic essence which is unmistakably his own.

		Steve Earleâs history is the stuff of legends, particularly to his fans.
		Thatâs when people were calling Steve Earle the savior of country music, the thinking manâs antidote to a thousand guys in ersatz cowboy hats, the hillbilly Bruce Springsteen, the next Hank Williams.
		One morning Steve didnât feel like making one of his not uncommon court appearances, and the judge took offense and slapped the singer in jail: four months in a burnt orange jump suit, bad hats all around.

		Singer and songwriter, Steve Earle was born in Virginia, raised in Texas, and resides in Nashville.
		Steve Earle is "born again hard" when it comes to politics left of centre and given his extensive life experiences on the dark side he may just be in a better position to offer an opinion than the rest of us.
		The liner notes warn us that Earle and his band saw this release as time dependent given the election year and there is an urgent zeal to some of the tracks - a raggedness which is in my opinion the best way to listen to Earle and his band.

		Steve Earle is so underrated as one of the greatest songwriters in history.
		Steve Earle may be an acquired taste for some, in that he hardly has a classic singer's voice, and he makes no effort to sand down the rough edges of that voice or of his music in general.
		Earle also displays a keen eye for the life of the common man and delivers his observations without a hint of condescension, as on "Telephone Road" ("workin' all day for the Texaco check/sun beatin' down on the back of my neck").

		Steve Earle continues the tradition when he performs at the Orpheum Theater in Sioux Falls on Monday night.
		Earle's tendency to promote his opinions on government and life in his art has become so natural that this Texas native now lives in New York to accommodate his spot as a regular talk show host on the left-leaning radio network Air America.
		Earle, of course, may scoff at the very notion of a transformation.

		Earle performed for nearly an hour on acoustic guitar and a couple of harmonicas.
		As strange as it might sound, Earle professed his deep love of country and explained that this album was made out of a desparate hope that it might help steer the U.S. back to a time of greater tolerance for freedom of expression.
		Also, Steve Earle is the "Artists of the Week" on internet radio station on Live365 - Mansion On The Hill.

	Steve Earle
		I ain’t one much for getting political, and as much as Earle seems to have garnered a reputation as some sort of activist wank, I don’t find that to be the case.
		During a concert last year I was weary of Earle possibly going into some sort of preachy tirade concerning the death penalty –; something he has been vocal and active about (which ain’t one ounce about politics, it’s all about humanity to Earle).
		But then I heard the song and realized that I was being pretty fucking naïve to think that Steve Earle wouldn’t have a true purpose in mind when he wrote the damn thing, that opportunity ain’t his game.

		Steve Earle is not a man to lay idle.
		There's very little pretense about Earle personally, politically or musically, and the album's 11 tracks tend toward basic rockers with a country edge, with a few ballads thrown in to leaven the mix.
		As with Jerusalem, Earle made the decision to do the album quickly, so there was little preparation time before the band went on the road, nor was there the budget for a sound truck.

	Cultural Treason?--The Right Targets Musician Steve Earle
		And the latest victim of the red-white-and-blue lynch mob is musician Steve Earle, whose offense is writing and recording a song entitled "John Walker's Blues." Before the tune was released, the cowpies were being hurled.
		Earle's song--which features his growling voice over sparse, guitar-driven instrumentation--explores what Lindh was thinking.
		In the PR material for the new album, Earle says of the track, "I'm happy with the way the song came out, but I'm nervous, not for myself, but I have taken some serious liberties with Walker, speaking as him, in his voice.

		Earle was also arranging a limited run of The Exonerated, a play about death row inmates wrongly convicted.
		This is no departure for Earle, who started in the music business as a professional songwriter in Nashville, became a shit-kicking country-rock star in the mid-1980s (with a gold-record album featuring the hit "Copperhead Road").
		Earle keeps saying that he has never produced an album in such a slap-dash fashion, that he always has his songs written before stepping into the studio.

		At issue is "John Walker's Blues," a song Earle wrote and sings from the perspective of John Walker Lindh, the 21-year-old California native who last week pled guilty in federal court to taking up arms with the Taliban.
		Earle released his first record, "Guitar Town," in 1986, scored modest success with "Copperhead Road" in 1988, then descended into an increasingly desperate cocaine and heroin habit.
		Earle is a loud, proud heir to the protest-folk tradition of Woody Guthrie, the Okie icon who penned songs about shady souls like Pretty Boy Floyd, and Bob Dylan, who famously venerated Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, the boxer wrongfully convicted of murder.

		Earle, likewise, struggles with the idea of transcendence in his liner notes.
		Earle finally breaks out with the Cash-ian ballad "The Boy Who Never Cried." As Earle's unaccompanied voice establishes the story of the boy, a harmonium again rises up, soon joined by a unobtrusive 12-string.
		Earle's music doesn't simply mirror the transcendence of its creator; it lends transcendence to the listener as well, as all excellent music will.

		Earle himself has written plenty of songs about coal mines and moonshine and movin' it on down the line, which, as iconic signifiers of American three-chord emotion, actually owe more to Hank than to Tennessee.
		The main character of the title story is a thinly veiled version of Earle, a critics' darling country rocker with a cult audience who sinks into desperate drug addiction, loses everything, then manages a comeback.
