I guess I'm still reeling from Tuesday's Steve Earle show. I decided to put together a mix of favorites for both the uninitiated and the long time fan. Not much else to say, except, if you think you're not a fan, give this a spin. It might change your mind.

Good mix, and there are still a ton of great songs left for the non-fans to check out.
Thank you, kind sir!
Thanks Sal!
Haven't heard a whole lot of Earle but really like what I have heard.

P.S. Don't know if you're into Lloyd Cole but I just got his new one - awash in electronica, check it out.
I remember the day I bought Guitar Town and I've been following him down that Copperhead Road ever since.
Great mix Sal!
It might be hard to believe, but I don't think I've ever heard Steve Earle. Thanks!
thanks for this!
shys away from most of the rockers, which by themselves would be a pretty good set
My only quibble is that "NYC" didn't make the cut. Always a SE and I get a kick out of Lydia Loveless' "Steve Earle" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDq1_rnJVE4
Thanks Sal! I've been a long time fan and have most songs. But I'm saving this great mix to listen to altogether.
One of my favorite SE cuts is an mp3 I downloaded in the old Napster days. It's a boot live recording of he and Emmylou doing one of his most poignant songs, "Goodbye". When Emmylou says the line "Like the soft breeze blowin' up from the Caribbean" the file distorts and somehow, this audible glitch adds to the overpowering sense of regret in the song. But then, I've loved SE since Guitar Town and stayed along for the ride, like JAYESSEMM, so it'd be hard for me to name something by him I don't like.

One of America's best musicians. Truly in a class of only a handful.
