Whether you see Steve Earle as a country boy, rockabilly, bluegrass crooner, roots rocker, hard rocker or folk singer, one thing is for sure, everything Steve Earle has ever done ( will ever do) has been done with heart, soul and total conviction. Standing up to the man when others would have cowered, Steve Earle has remained resolutely uncompromising. He may have had his troubles, but doesn't that make you just love him all the more?
