[Gbearfender]

[nilradem]

@Gbearfender

He still plays it live pretty often, and his new band sounds great. Look for him on tour.

[Gbearfender]

Steve Earle has a sound distinctly his.I love the edge with a little Luther Perkins thump but then again I've always liked my music a little rowdy.

[Rankerbill1]

Heard of him but never seen him before. Love this song.

[se24dy68]

Steve as always is truly amazing,no matter what you watch or listen to.His latest album is one of a kind and in my humble opinion the best he he ever recorded.The band is totally out standing.

1999 guitar town album

[darlincommitme]

@37kema

Guitar Town came out in 1986 - you are off by 13 years

[flysthestars]

this is rockabilly



[ffairlane57]

@flysthestars , yeah, kind of. This is more in the style of Sun Records era Johnny Cash.

[tombuttner]

@flysthestars This is NOT Rockabilly.

[WelakaWombat]

@tombuttner Why isn't it? I think Steve would disagree

[actlloyd]

@tombuttner Who cares? It's a great fucking song.

[depp3070]

real country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ffairlane57]

@depp3070, actually this is alt country, which is real country. Not like the mush you hear on Cat Country radio. 

[VirgoClusterDenies]

Anyone know what year this is?

[darlincommitme]

@VirgoClusterDenies

I don't know for sure... but based on what Steve is wearing, the length of his hair, and that he seems to be promoting Guitar Town, I would guess late 1986 or early 1987. It is clearly after the album came out, and he was growing out his hair and dressing like a biker/rocker by 1988.

Someone needs to cut back on the caffeine.

[roofermarc1]

This fuck protested against the war along side Hanoi Jane, fuck the liberal bastard.

[earlefan]

@roofermarc1 You're for the war????? FUCK! The stupidity in this country. I really hope you don't vote

[roofermarc1]

@earlefan Fucking right, I'm for what ever you liberal's are against. Actually I haven't seen any war protester's since you voted in a nigger Muslim. You all were just hating on Bush, you two face bastards.

@roofermarc1

Whooboy!

You're a dumbfuck.

Gullible doofus shitheads like you are what's ruining this country.

[ffairlane57]

@roofermarc1 , dude man, you're a total fukkin' BAD ASS!

[ffairlane57]

@roofermarc1 , I bet that's something that keeps you awake at night all the time.

[daf827]

The sound on this is outstanding! Far superior performance to the Austin City Limits version, IMO.

[JulioBassMusic]

Im from Puerto Rico, what do you think guys if im interested play hillbilly music? I like it so much and rockabilly too...

[darlincommitme]

@JulioBassMusic

Play what you like! Also, Hispanic music, especially Mariachi, has had a big influence on country music that is not always recognized. Western swing and rockabilly, in particular, have a lot of Mexican influence. Not really a direct connection to Puerto Rico, but worth noticing.

[crkeesey]

@LisaHarrisish Steve Earl is a hillbilly not a redneck. In such, a cowboy hat would not be appropriate dress. :-)

[nilradem]

@crkeesey

Well he is from Texas... and I have heard him call himself both a redneck and hillbilly.

But yeah, no need for a hat to prove his authenticity. In fact, I would say the presence of a hat on a country singer suggests they are less real (there are a few exceptions, like Dwight, but that's 'cuz he has so little hair).

[LisaHarrisish]

The only thing missing is a hot cowboy hat! wooooo hooooo what a babe lol!

[MrLoneCrow]

Freaking glorious!
