Earle, Steve

Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

	Copperhead Road New - LP - UNI 7 Sealed 1988 Original With Copper Colored Hype Sticker On The Shrink Wrap. Saw Cut. Steve Earle Always Played Hard Country Music With The Swagger Of A Rock & Roll Star, So It Made Sense That He Would Take A Detour Out Of Nashville, Both Literally And Figuratively. On Copperhead Road, Earle Opted To Record In Memphis And Veered Away From Mainstream Country In Several Directions At Once — Into Potent Hard Rock (Most Notably On The Superb Title Song, Which Became His First Rock Radio Hit), As Well As Irish Folk (With The Pogues Backing Earle On "Johnny Come Lately"), And Even Bluegrass (Virtuoso Acoustic Pickers Sam Bush And Jerry Douglas Sit In On "Nothing But A Child"). If Copperhead Road Lacked A Bit Of The Tight Focus Of His Acclaimed Debut Guitar Town, It Had Energy, Firepower, And Smart-Ass Humor To Spare (Along With Earle's Always-Superb Songs), And It Made Clear That Steve Earle Had The Stuff To Be A Contender In Rock & Roll, If That Was What He Wanted. more

	Early Tracks New - LP - FE 39226 Sealed, Hard To Find 1987 Original. Has "FE" Prefix Not "BFE". Custom Hype Sticker On The Shrink Wrap. "In the wake of Guitar Town's success, Epic rushed out this collection of early Steve Earle tracks recorded from 1982 to 1985, including songs from 1982's Pink & Black EP. While much of this is by-the-book rockabilly fare, it provides a good look at his formative years. The CD reissue on Koch adds four tracks from Epic singles, including covers of tunes by John Hiatt and Dennis Linde." All Music Guide - Chris Woodstra. more

	Exit 0 New - LP - 5998 Sealed Original. Tiny Saw Cut. Unable To Confirm Which Plant It Was Pressed At. "Steve Earle Once Told A Reporter That After Listening To The Final Mix Of 1987's Exit 0, He And His Band Hopped On Their Tour Bus And Played Yet Another Gig That Night, Which Is What They'd Been Doing During Most Of Their Time Off From Recording Sessions. Exit 0 Was Recorded With Earle's Road Band, The Dukes, Instead Of The Usual Team Of Nashville Session Pros, And As A Consequence It Boasts A Leaner, Tougher Sound Than His Debut, Guitar Town, Though The Slightly Slick Cookie-cutter Production By Tony Brown, Emory Gordy, Jr., And Richard Bennett Saps A Bit Of The Music's Power. The Album Features A Few Great Songs, Including "I Ain't Never Satisfied" (Which Could Practically Be Earle's Theme Song), "The Week Of Living Dangerously," "The Rain Came Down," And "Sweet Little '66," But There's A Faint Hint Of Sophomore Slump To Exit 0 -- "No. 29" Is Far Too Sentimental For Its Own Good, The Doug Sahm Homage "San Antonio Girl" Isn't Nearly As Good As The Songs That Clearly Inspired It, And "Angry Young Man" Feels Like Filler, Something In Short Supply On Most Steve Earle Albums. Exit 0 Is Just Uneven Enough To Qualify As A Genuine Disappointment, Though That's Within The Context Of Earle's Body Of Work; This Is Still Livelier Stuff Than Nearly Anyone In Nashville Was Cranking Out At The Time (Short Of Dwight Yoakam) And The High Points Confirm The Guy Who Wrote "Guitar Town" Had More Fine Tunes Where That Came From."

	I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive New - LP - NW 5030 Sealed 2011 Limited Edition 180gm Original. "According To Steve Earle's Liner Notes For I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive, These 11 Songs Are All "About Mortality In One Way Or Another." Certainly The Title -- After A Song By Hank Williams (Also The Title Of Earle's New Novel) -- Reflects This, But These Songs Bear That Out In Spades. Two Of Them, "God Is God" And "I Am A Wanderer," Were Written For Joan Baez And Appeared On Her Day After Tomorrow Album. Earle's Versions Are Less Stylized, More Worldweary, Ragged, And Poignant. The Former Is A Sobering Anthem Which States Plainly That Human Beings -- Beginning With The Individual -- Are Not The Center Of The Universe; And Strikes At The Heart Of The Conservative Notion Of "American Exceptionalism: "I Believe In God, And God Ain't Us." The Latter Track Is A Plaintive Country Song Whose Protagonists Are Day Laborers, The Homeless, Death Row Inmates, And Society's Castoffs. The Shuffling Rockabilly In "Waitin' On The Sky," With Producer T-Bone Burnett's And Jackson Smith's (Patti's Son) Layered Electric Guitars, Jay Bellerose's Taut Snare, And Sara Watkins' Fiddle, Highlight The Genuine Irony In Earle's Words. The Hillbilly Blues Inform "Hey Little Emperor," And The Lyrics Disguise In Pointed Humor A Deeper Anger. "Molly-O" Is An Old-school Murder Ballad That Offers Evidence Of A Larger Darkness Than The Crime. "The Gulf Of Mexico" Begins With Earle Singing A Cappella And Becomes An Uptempo, Lonesome Celtic Ballad Texturally Adorned By Greg Leisz's Pedal Steel. A Song Of Workers And Travelers Who Quest For Basic Sustenance, It Describes The Cost Of Doing So. Allison Moorer Sings With Earle On The Bluesy, Broken Love Song "Heaven Or Hell"; Its Martial Drumbeat Outlines The Deathly Seriousness In The Narrative. "Meet Me In The Alleyway" Is A An Electric, Streetwise, Cut-time Shuffle À La Tom Waits, With Spooky Guitar Interplay Between Smith And Burnett. The Folk Song "Lonely Are The Free" Could Have Been The Album's Subtitle As Mortality Haunts Its Every Phrase. The Set Closes With "This City," Written For And Performed In The HBO Series Treme; It's Just As Powerful Without Cinematic Images, Thanks To The Lyric And Allen Toussaint's Forlorn, Soulful Horn Arrangement. I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive's Lone Downer Is Burnett's Unnecessarily Heavy-Handed Production. That Said, Earle's Vocals Front And Center In A Brilliant Song Cycle Transcend It."
