One of the few country artists to release a personal, thoughtful and eloquent hit about 9/11 |
|
that wasn't a jingoistic embarrassment like "We'll put a boot in your ass / it's the American way" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr8VwYLcxGo

7. I've always liked Steve Earle's "Jerusalem" |
|
Ashes to Ashes, Amerika v6.0, John Walker Blues...brings back memories, but got zero air play, even on NPR.
I never could listen to the ass-kicking country crap a bunch of stations were playing.
