    Celtic music is a form of folk music, so it is both.  He is using Irish musical forms and instruments here, but I would say there is still a hint of country rhythms. And of course his Texas accent makes it sound more country to the ear. Also, traditional country music (as compared to contemporary pop country) draws on Celtic influences. blues, swing, Mariachi and other musical forms. The boundaries are not firm, and, more generally, Steve Earle is always crossing genres.

  • Weather you agree with his politics or not- Steve Earle is the best living songwriter-long may he live (and write).

    I am pretty sure he wrote it independently (she is not listed as a co-writer), but he did record it with Shannon and her band and I expect she may have helped arrange it. they both put it on albums.

  • This is a fantastic song. Steve wrote it in collaboration with Sharon.All the bands who sing in all the pubs in all the world are playing this song.If you don't like it then I feel sorry for you.

  • Hay un problema! sus ojos no son azules, SON CAFÉS! GRACIAS!

  • @BigDaddyBiscuits1 You are correct, Steve is in fact a gant.

  • Favorite Steve Earle song.....if you can find just one favorite Steve Earle song.

  • This is what music should be. So many instruments in perfect harmony. You can see the memories in Steve's eyes, telling a story from the heart as much as singing a song. Beautiful.

  • Same @xxleandraxx1

    It is a mandolin... though big for a mandolin.

  • is that a small guitar or is steve a gant?
