Steve Earle - fearless heart

Steve Earle - Fearless heart

Don't you worry bout what you've been told
Cause honey I ain't even close to cold
It's kinda soon to fall in love again
But sometimes the best that you can do is just jump back in
I got me a fearless heart
Strong enough to get you through the scary part
It's been broken many times before
A fearless heart just comes back for more

Folks'll tell you that I'm just no good
But I wouldn't hurt you honey if I could
I can't promise this'll work out right
But it would kill me darlin' if we didn't even try

I admit I fall in love a lot
But I nearly always give it my best shot
I know you must think I'm the reckless kind
But I want a lady with a fearless heart just like mine

And I am not a guy.

@fancifulfilly So there weren’t tensions on this album with the new band, they developed. Both books say by 1988, tensions over money (and, for Stinson, Steve’s drug use according to McGee) led to Stinson and Kling leaving, but Baxter and Moore stayed longer, as Baxter changed his mind about siding with the other two. McAdam left for other reasons (as it says below what you quote). It was not a firing of the entire band as you seemed to say in your post.

@fancifulfilly

Sorry if using quotes came off as pretentious, but I was just trying to point out what I was responding to. I think you sound a little oversensitive, but it is easy to misjudge a person from these short comments. I have read both books. You seemed to be saying the Dukes were an entity before GT. Kling was part of the earlier band, Bennet and Gordy were studio musicians without interest in touring at that level, Baxter, Stinson and Moore were new.

@darlincommitme The bio goes on to say: "Baxter and Ken Moore were the only members of the 'Guitar Town' and 'Exit 0' Dukes to survive a third album, not counting an appearance by John Jarvis". By this author's statements, it sure sounds like the Dukes DID "exist" as an "entity" to me. In the midst of all your "quotes" I had to wonder: Is this guy as "condescending" as he "sounds"? So, I was off on the time frame of the falling out, but not on the "condescension" my comment engendered.

[fancifulfilly]

@darlincommitme Which bios did you "read"? I have 'Fearless Heart' and 'Hard Core Troubadour', and in the latter, authored by a Lauren St. John, it talks about the firing on p. 190. It recounts a phone conversation shortly before the Australia tour, on 1/2 of '88, between S.E. and B.B. "Are you sure you're w/ Reno and Harry?" When Bucky affirmed, this, S.E. said "Fine. Then you're fired". This happened right after S.E. told Will Botwin, "OK fire 'em. Cancel the f--kin' Australia tour dates.

@fancifulfilly

GT was his MCA debut with a band hired by Richard Bennet, so the touring Dukes didn't really exist as an entity, nor was was there enough history for anyone to be on the "outs" with anyone. (Steve did a touring band called the Dukes in the early 80s, but that was really a different group.) And from the biographies I read, I don't think he ever "fired them all." There were tensions with some people, others left to do other things, but only gradual shifts.

@Susielikesit...OOPS, make that "i'll Never Get Out of This World Alive! Sorry about that.

[fancifulfilly]

@Susielikesit ...Well, what about "I'll Never Leave this World Alive" ? It's only a few months old...that's pretty new!

[fancifulfilly]

@RXBA3U5 OH, yeah, I SO agree with you!! Miraculous.... I know that the Dukes regular pedal steel player, Bucky Baxter is playing in all the tour videos, but I know that Paul Franklin was the steel guitar player on the album Guitar Town, it think, on this song, and Someday, at least. What i am not sure of is if this was when Steve was on the outs with the other Dukes and fired them all...well, it doesn't really matter, they both kick ass playing this song!

[THEMAIDENME1]

gonna see him tonight, will be great!
