Best Steve Earle song?

[billbuckhead]

[NightTrain]

1. What about "Christmas In Washington?"

So come back, Woody Guthrie, come back to us now....

[2bfree]

12. I love Christmas in Washinton!

I also like Poisen Lovers (can't remember who the duet was sung with) and also the one he sang with Lucinda Williams which escapes my mind this morning. This is making me want to get out my Steve Earle CDs!

2. Boy, that's a toughie. Can I pick all of the above?

:D

[Kenneth ken]

3. I'll vote Guitartown

but I could have picked any on your list, or
The Kind
Galway Girl
You're Still Standing There
Johnny Come Lately (that might be a wrong title)
When I Fall
What's A Simple Man To Do?
Gettin' Tough
or any of a dozen (or more) others.

great writer, I think.

4. no contest: The Unrepentant

The Unrepentant
(Steve Earle)
In the middle of the night
In the middle of a lonely night
Stands alone in the pale moonlight
Screams out in defiance
He's got no one to turn to
You could talk ‘til you turn blue
He'd just turn his back on you
Ain't no compromising
REFRAIN
‘Cause he's totally untamed
No fear of the unnamed
But he'll take the blame
‘Cause someone's gotta do it

Now he's out on the highway
He's got the key and the right of way
His tank is full and his toll's paid
Hellbound and determined
He run a dangerous payload
When he comes to the crossroads
Ah, man it's all times to explode
You'll just see the sky burnin'
REFRAIN

Now he's standin' at hell's door
With a bad attitude and a forty-four
The devil said, "What's up man
Now what you come here for?"
He said, "Man, let's just get to it"
He said, "I always heard that you were the bad one
There's a few places I ain't been, a few things I ain't done
You got your pitchfork and I got my gun"
Someone's gotta do it
REFRAIN

5. It's a shame John Lennon couldn't have worked with Steve

Another reason to hate guns.

6. AMERIKA Ver 6.0

I'm in a very political mood these days. :hi:

[billbuckhead]

7. 96Rock used to play "Copperhead Road" everyday at 4:00PM

for it seemed a couple years. Atlantan's what years were those?

[argyl]

8. "Ashes to Ashes","I Feel Allright", "Tom Ames's Prayer",

NYC
Taneytown
Billie and Bonnie
Dixieland(It's not what you think).I guess I like about everything he's done.

[VOX]

9. Maybe not his best, but I'm often humming "I Ain't Ever Satisfied" ...

Or whistling it, whatever. It's just stuck with me all these years.

:toast:

[Bossy Monkey]

10. Back to the Wall or Goodbye

kudos for putting Billy Austin on the poll, however

[Bossy Monkey]

13. Whoops, meant to say "Valentine's Day"

the cry-like-a-baby national anthem. Although "Goodbye" is a fine song, too, of course.

[mac56]

11. Just about every thing on "Guitar Town".

Title song, "Hillbilly Highway", "Goodbye's All We Got Left", "My Old Friend The Blues", "Fearless Heart", and the rest.

14. steve is a great story teller, often taking on the bad guys' role.

he also has a way of making songs like 'devils right hand' and 'ben mcculloch' sound like decades old folk songs
