This often overlooked and underappreciated live record marks the conclusion of this important phase of Steve Earle's career that began with Guitar Town. Some people say his voice sounds "rough" on this one, as if that's a bad thing. Anyway, sit back and read up on the Kanehsatà:ke Resistance (aka Oka Crisis), because it's 1990 and we're heading up to Canada.

Join us as we examine The Hard Way, Steve's last studio album before he went on "vacation" for a few years. This record has never gotten the shine it deserves, so we hope y'all love and appreciate it as much as we do. There are those that break and bend. We're the other kind.

Part 2 of our journey with The Boss. I guess there's just a meanness in this world.

A slight detour this week as we begin our deep dive into Bruce Springsteen's 3rd through 7th studio albums (we'll explain), what they mean to us, and as always, their connections to Steve Earle. This is Part 1 of 2. Listen to it while you walk these empty rooms looking for something to blame.

Keep your bedroll dry and join us this week as we dive into Steve's third studio album, the heavy hitter, Copperhead Road. If you ain't impressed yet, tell us what you want to hear.

In an alternate universe, Steve Earle might have just been a rockabilly dude. Be glad that we don't actually live in that universe. Still, Steve's pre-Guitar Town material from the early 1980s deserves a listen, especially if you're a nerd like us.
