Steve Earle is an American Treasure. Far from an angel, he is a great songwriter who has seen both sides of prison bars and pulled himself out of addiction to become one of the most prolific songwriters of the Americana Music scene. Copperhead Road is a great record, but don't stop there, get I Feel Alright, El Corazon, Exit A, Guitar Town, Transcendental Blues, Jerusalem and The Revolution Starts Now, and go to town.
