  • The Hard Way

    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.

  • At The Corner of Thunder Road and Nowhere Road (Part 1)

    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.

    1 hr 28 min
  • Copperhead Road

    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.

    1 hr 59 min
  • Early Tracks

    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.

    1 hr 13 min
  • Exit Zero

    We continue down the Nowhere Road this week with an exploration of Exit Zero, Steve Earle's second studio album. This one's for everybody who ain't ever satisfied.

  • Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

    We told you there would be a few detours, right? Join Tyler and Brian and Del and Neal as we explore the 1987 classic, "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles." And yes, there is a Steve Earle connection here, we promise. It's the holidays, you're probably traveling, and this is the perfect travel movie. Just take my socks out of the sink if you're gonna brush your teeth, alright?

    1 hr 26 min
  • Guitar Town

    We're taking a deep dive into Steve Earle's first LP. There's something for everyone here- core talk, country talk, dudes with $100,000 pick-up trucks who pretend to be oppressed, and much more. Come hang with us, even if you don't have a two pack habit or a motel tan.

    1 hr 50 min
  • Episode Zero

    Introductions. How we got to know Steve Earle, how we got to know each other, and why we decided to do this. There are those that break and bend. We're the other kind.
