: : Best cover: Steve Earle - Dead Flowers
: Ah yes, "a perfectly good English hillbilly song." Steve also plays the shit outta "Before They Make Me Run".
: Has Steve ever opened for the Stones? THAT would be a pretty good show.
: While we're talkin' twang, Jason & The Scorchers do a pretty mean "19th Nervous Breakdown".
Don't think Steve has ever opened for the Stones.
I was hoping (hallucinating is more like it)
that Steve would drop in at one of the Philly
shows last year.
He was at the TLA with Del McCoury doing that
bluegrass thing - which BTW, is prolly one of
the best CD's released last year.
Didn't happen, though.
Man did I love Jason & The Scorchers !!
Those guys were the goods back in their heyday -
fast and loose !
Did a great Absolutely Sweet Marie, tons of C&W
weepers, Hank Sr. and Johnny Cash.
'Course they broke up, Jason tried to go legit country - I think I was one of a dozen people who bought his CD - and they got back together a coupla years back.
Check out Midnight Roads & Stages Seen.
They still got it...
