Re: What do you think of Steve Earle?
Huge fan; he has inspired me to "Just write songs, Dammit!" Saying you can't and then not doing so only proves that you are not a songwriter, and for some of us that is just not acceptable. He is an inspiration not only as a songwriter, but as a survivor. Anyone doubting his subtle mastery of guitar accompaniment should check out "Billy Austin" (pre-prison) and "Ellis Unit One" (54th St. Sessions, post-prison) on YouTube. Those two songs cut right down to the bone.
But Amsterdam was always good for grieving
And London never fails to leave me blue
And Paris never was my kinda town
So I walked around with the Ft. Worth Blues
