3. songs from The Revolution Starts Now are quite good
F--- the FCC is a good one to blast in the car when there are no children present....

Jerusalem is also quite good. I like everything he's done, actually.

11. "John Walker's Blues" from Jerusalem always gives me chills.
So good.

4. The Revolution Starts Now


I was walkin’ down the street
In the town where I was born
I was movin’ to a beat
That I’d never felt before
So I opened up my eyes
And I took a look around
I saw it written ‘cross the sky
The revolution starts now
Yeah, the revolution starts now

The revolution starts now
When you rise above your fear
And tear the walls around you down
The revolution starts here
Where you work and where you play
Where you lay your money down
What you do and what you say
The revolution starts now
Yeah the revolution starts now

Yeah the revolution starts now
In your own backyard
In your own hometown
So what you doin’ standin’ around?
Just follow your heart
The revolution starts now

Last night I had a dream
That the world had turned around
And all our hopes had come to be
And the people gathered ‘round
They all brought what they could bring
And nobody went without
And I learned a song to sing
The revolution starts now

7. I don't think I've ever heard a bad one
But Copperhead Road is a pretty kickass song.

I Feel Alright. Pretty good fuck you to all the people who wrote him off.

12. Tom Ames's Prayer, Billie and Bonnie,NYC,Taneytown,Ellis Unit One
Dixieland,Ain't Ever Satisfied,Ashes to Ashes,Jerusalem and there's a lot more where they came from.

His creative output when he kicked drugs,starting with "I Feel Alright" to his most recent cd,"The Revolution Starts Now" is simply dazzling.

Puts on a hell of a live show as well.Either with his rock ensemble The Dukes,or his bluegrass ensemble The Bluegrass Dukes, he gives you a minimum of 2 1/2 hours of kickass music.

14. I think Steve Earle is one of the best songwriters in the business
I've only been listening since Just an American Boy came out but I really like Jerusalem, Amerika V 6.0, John Walker's Blues, Conspiracy Theory and I Remember You. I think the quality of his songwriting and his willingness to express himself regardless of the commercial consequences places him in the same category as two of my favorite artists neil Young and Bob Dylan. I really respect musicians who don't perform with their finger in the wind to see what people want to hear..

15. 'I feel Alright' and 'Train a'comin', the 2 albums he released after kicking crack and heroin
in the mid 90's is Steve at his best.

17. I do, but Coppherhead Road is still one hot tune....
If it weren't for hearing that song when it came out in the 80's I wouldn't have been willing to give him a shot.
