I grew up listening to his music, now my nephew who's years younger than me loves his music and I take pride of that...Steve Earle's music always had a problem of being labelled...but at the end of the day it's Steve Earle on his own and that's what makes Steve one of the greatest musicians and will live on and on...as for me I label him my drinking party music...
I started listening to Steve Earle as a youngser growing up on Iron Maiden, Motley, Metallica etc. His songs always struck a chord with me for some reason. Funny in many articles he has a great respect for us Canadians. In the US, he was too rock for country and too country for rock. Canada being more open minded played on all stations. Shut up and die like an aviator does depict a Canadian Maple Leaf, also one of his best collections
The connection is the authenticity of the people that made that music back then. Motley crue and Steve earle seemingly have nothing in common but in that time period they were being exactly who they were and it all came thru in the music they made. They made music that had all the raw emotions of their lifestyles as the main ingredients in the recipe. It was real, who they really were.
The fiddle actually sounded quite great. The entire bluegrass festival was pretty much acoustic, even though everything was amplified, so it wasn't exactly a rock concert.
@AdamHassan88 The beauty about Steve is that he can change his sound and sound great. Yes, his roots are folk, but the Dukes have always been a rock band. Especially 2000-2005. They were a brutal for piece band. They would cover Nirvana, The Stones, The Beatles and many other great rock bands. I just prefer that line up.
@AdamHassan88 The amazing thing about Steve is that he can change his sound and still sound great. The Dukes have always been a rock band. Especially from '00-'05. They were a brutal four piece band. They would cover Nirvana, The Beatles, The Stones and many other great rock bands. I just prefer that line up.
(Cartman) < AAAAHHH !! HIPPIES EVERYWHERE !!! ;p I love this song, it sounds so full of hope (well, that's precisely why it's called "Someday" xD but that's cool, the fact that it matches the title :3)
@Ivan42701 Not necessarily - Steve does an amazing live show, and I have heard excellent live versions of the song. This was the first gig with the new band lineup, and when I heard them the next summer it was tight. And of course sound is never the best outdoors. See him in person and you might change your mind.
I don't agree with you earlefan. Steve Earle isn't a rock singer, hes a folk singer. Having fiddles and acoustic instruments make much more sense and give him a much better sound.
What's with this watered down version of The Dukes?? I love Allison but the keyboards are pointless. An what's with the fiddle??? With Roscoe they were such a in your face rock band. Dump the fiddle and keyboards and turn up Chris's guitar!!
Thanks for documenting this bro🎉👊,TH-cam algorithm bring me here😂😎🤙

Tell me about it! Filming this was difficult and barely worth putting it online. But I think anyone who likes Steve Earle will appreciate it.

@earlefan well. for one thing the video is not great so that doesn't help. The best I could do... and it's something.
