I LOVE THAT ALBUM "THE HARD WAY"

[unrepentant42]

I agree, for me, its his best album out of all of them. They are all incredible though.

Brilliant, saw this tour in Edinburgh.

Steve has changed a lot since then - for the better? I don't know.

What became of Energy Orchard?

[unrepentant42]

Energy Orchard split shortly after touring with Steve on this tour, but Bap Kennedy (Lead singer) went on as a solo artist and recorded Domestic Blues with Steve in 1996.

@prooter: Every time I hear this song I think about how horrible Bon Jovi is. Seriously, Bon Jovi wrote a road song,

"I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride

I'm wanted, dead or alive"

SE writes one,

"Used to be I was really free, I didn't need no gasoline to run

Before you could say Jack Kerouac you'd turn your back and I'd be gone"

Draw your own conclusions.

yep, you are right, incredible is a word that doesn't even cover Steve Earle...been a fan for 20 years...he's the best....ever...

About Steve Earle-what more can I say?-the man is a rock legend and a country genius. The Other Kind is brilliant!

[junglestud]

Steve sounds great nowadays. Heroin causes one to lose their voice at the most, and lowers the top range of the voice at the least. So, coupled with the choking, this explains to me why he sounds this way circa late 80's early 90's. So what. The man is a legend. To come back from what he came back from and produce consistant quality work is nothing short of amazing.

Steve Earle is most definitely the tits! Greatness!

@jt3drive Always going to be my fav Steve Earle album as well. Powerful piece of work.

@nilradem The choking effect did not just go away in short period of time, it had a lasting effect, but as you say, at this point there was a bunch of factors in action that served to sabotage live performancs, but even at his worst (according to some of his managers and tour associates, Shut up and Die Like an Aviator is still a great rock and roll testimony, ragged voice or not.

@nilradem

And I was really talking about the long term - his voice now vs. Guitar Town. Don't get me wrong, I love all his music, which was my point to the comment that he had gone downhill.

[nilradem]

@JustPlainDB

True, but if memory serves I think that was two years before this. I think the drugs and smoking may be a bigger factor, especially as I think he was smoking crack by this time.

I'll would like to say Steve Earle is nothing but the greatest at everything he has accomplished. I would be proud too follow behind in his footsteps to see him at work and just be in awe of what he does.

@1888gp i've seen him 12 times in concert over the last 20 yrs, stoned or not, he never gave less than a perfect performance, yeah, his voice changed,but the magic is still there...
