Steve Earle Sparkle and Shine

[MrHipeye]

got me a Martin M-21 Steve Earle Custom that Steve and Matty Umanov designed w/Martin a few months ago (#116)....sweetest sounding guitar I've ever played, every note in chords articulate....unfuckingbelieva­ble piece of wood and steel. People tend to over look the fact that SE is a world class musician along with everything else he does that is world class.

[jokingist]

such wonderful talent! I would love to see him in person.!! Thanks for sharing :)

[recklessmetalblues]

Love this stuff!!!! He is so unpretentious!

[hawkjunktionboy1]

what i would do to play a martin!!!!!

[hawkjunktionboy1]

what i would to play a martin!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bassbinrevival]

Every time I watch this video I have to remind myself to play it 2 minutes in... Lol.

[TheGuitarslinger]

Steve shut the fuc$ up and sing...PLZ

[7leintje93]

STOP TALKING!

Just sing!

[smitpauly]

Lin Brehmer,an american treasure!

[Tharix88]

Childish in his politics? More like Logical but ok =)

[PMK1002]

@Tharix88 he was told by townes, 'dont talk politics on stage because you alienate 1/2 your audience' but if people with a voice dont speak out......who can?

im in agreement with you on this one, i stand by all political statements i heard by him. he seems pretty clued in to me! saw him in scotland and he was even able to talk about us going for independence in a rational, understanding, knowledgeable way. something alotta locals have no understanding of.

[paragtime]

great songwriter..great performer....childish in his politics.

[simonezee]

@paragtime if by "childish" you mean "Idealistic" I see nothing wrong with that - We should not resort to violence, we should understand that "we are all immigrants" and stop with the fear and hate. If Steve is "childish" than so am I and I wish more people were.. the world would be a better place.

[thankgoodimadreamer]

one of the greatest songs about love.

[everysinglenamesgone]

This is a fantastic video! Did not expect to hear him introduce his guitar as well. Always thought that was an M-38, but now I know what it really is!

[raccoonpoet]

What a great song. Am I the only one who notices how he looks so different from year to year?

[bluebanshee3]

he's married now, lol. he changed his clothes and shaved.

[Salguine]

@bluebanshee3

Not recently he didn't. He walked past me on the street in Greenwich Village last night and he had a giant raggedy beard like a homeless Santa Claus.

[princessofhesse]

yes, my friend, he gets better and better, i think, have had the joy of meeting him twice after shows in the last few years, he's a wonderful person..

[princessofhesse]

ha! well, i wouldn't run off with him...i don't think i would! i just hope he gets to Minneapolis though on this tour, i can't find confirmation, but keep hearing he is coming...sigh...

[arcelsx]

he is. i am so excited!

[tincankid]

I love Earle song writing, a great US music legend.. and his politics are spot on too... he thinks more like a european than an american.. America have always produced the coolest rebels.

[princessofhesse]

i love steve earle, i would run off with him in a minute if we weren't both married!!! i've been a fan for 20 plus years and he continues to inspire and delight me...

[Bdasef]

now now princesss.....i knew you "loved" steve, but i never knew just how much 'til right now....heh heh! i hope you are doing very well!

[IHeartAtx]

There's a Sugarland song about the lead singer being in love with Steve Earle. It's worth listening to.

[princessofhesse]

yeah, i've heard the song, cute stuff....Steve Earle has been my hero for a long time, we are both recovering addicts, i have nearly 2 yrs now and without his music, i don't think i could have ever made it....God bless Steve Earle....

[JuddieJud]

This song was writtin for Shannon Hoon,Correct please somone correct me if I'am wrong.

[Lankimaki]

He wrote it about his wife Allison Moorer...

[mistascott007]

Shannon Hoon was a male. This song is clearly about a female.

[neilio4twenty]

That's the Econline Crush Song Sparkle And Shine I am here for the same reason haha

[johnny991965]

Steve Earle, a bona fide American legend. I don`t agree with all of his politics, but can`t fault his songwriting genius.. :-)

[phil16d]

@johnny991965 I totally agree, a true troubador of american music. I think I have every cd , and have seen him like 6 times. I love him when he is off his soap box.

[johnny991965]

@phil16d You're right, Steve certainly likes to rant 'n rave about politics! I'll forgive him a little self-indulgence on account of him being so good at his day job!! Regards.

[mistertomasP]

I was at this show w/my brother who passed away shortly after the show.

Thanks for posting.

[princessofhesse]

sorry about your loss, my friend, what a wonderful thing that he got to see Steve.....

[Bdasef]

mister...also very sorry to know of your loss....great memories of a fine evening together....be blessed!

[howe720]

i saw him and allison may 7th '08....incredible

[Thomasbox180]

I'm gonna see him and Allison the 23rd of May '08. I can't wait!!! It'll be my forth Earle gig....

[stickshift12]

I saw Steve Earle a few weeks ago in Harrisburg. The seats were incredible and the performance was even better.

[dsmsoccerdad]

Just caught his show in Lincoln, NE last night. Outstanding is all I can say for both Steve and Allison's performance. Just take a look at the talent that hung around Guy, Rodney, Townes and Steve.

[nllleonard]

Truly one of our finest songwriters. What a great song!

[carlssonjimbo]

Steve comes to Sweden in June. I´m a big fan and will visit all 3 concerts around the country. Golden moments

[princessofhesse]

man, if i had a feller who would write love songs about me....sigh....can't go wrong EVER with Steve....

[OttawaGolfBlog]

Earle At his best.

[carlssonjimbo]

Steve comes to Sweden in June. I´m a big fan and will visit all 3 concerts around the country. Golden moments!

[jonathankelleryt]

That's freaking Walon from The Wire!!!!!

[lawyerboysk8er]

You need to watch less TV and listen to more Steve Earle!

[archthelegend]

It's a good thing this man is with us ..comforting

[k31757]

They don't make em like that anymore, his songs all mean something,love him.

[kittenysoftness]

Loveeeeeeeeeee Steve, my mom used to take us to his concerts everytime he came to town.... (i am 35 now) one Concert a young man behind us kept yelling Steve Fucking Earle the WHOLE night - he was excited and my mom turned to me and said I didn't know that was his middle name! Never forget it! I adore Steves talents!

[0BarefootMama]

That's golden!! Thanks for sharing the laugh...My mom's hilariously naive too!

[kittenysoftness]

[prairiegirl66]
