CD Reviews

Bleak and beautiful
R. Kyle | USA | 07/06/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Most people don't write or play so well without any impediments. "Hard Way" came to be during the worst of Earle's drug addiction and it's clearly a crucible time for him. Writing's amazing as always--singing and orchestration are also good. Of course, as many folks way, Steve can't make a bad CD.



"Billy Austin" is one of the hardest songs I've ever heard. Earle can write and sing from the point of view of an outlaw better than almost anyone I've heard. "Justice in Ontario" continues that theme. Ironic Earle himself followed this CD with time in prison.



This CD's labeled country, but I'm seeing too many rock elements to leave it strictly at that.
