http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.42409&rws=%2Fsteve-earle%2Ftop-tracks.rssTexas-raised/Nashville-based artist Steve Earle got his start as a young teenager on the vibrant Texas coffeehouse circuit of the 1960s, absorbing the material and emulating the bad habits of his heroes Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clarke. Earle worked on-and-off as a staff songwriter in Nashville before he finally got a decent record deal of his own and released the chart-topping, critically acclaimed <i>Guitar Town</i> in 1986. The record combined twanging, tuneful Country Rock material with tough, unsentimental songwriting that had more in common with Bruce Springsteen than anything Nashville had going on at the time; the fact that it also yielded a couple of Top-10 hits was the icing on the cake. Earle continued to release ambitious Country Rock material, but he failed to repeat the chart success of <i>Guitar Town</i>, and a lifetime of substance abuse finally caught up with him. He wound up in a jail/rehab facility with an uncertain future, a dwindling fan base, and no record deal. He later emerged clean and sober, and proceeded to put out the best, most lucid work of his career -- <i>Train a Comin'</i>, <i>I Feel Alright</i>, and <i>El Corazon</i> -- in quick succession. He also started his own record label E-Squared, on which he releases his own records and the material of other artists he admires. - Eric SheaAlt Countryen720Mon, 30 Nov 2009 08:04:26 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.42409&rws=%2Fsteve-earle%2Ftop-tracks.rss Texas-raised/Nashville-based artist Steve Earle got his start as a young teenager on the vibrant Texas coffeehouse circuit of the 1960s, absorbing the material and emulating the bad habits of his heroes Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clarke.
