Shelby Lynn & Allison Moorer / Not Dark Yet

Yep, all is true- bdp24.
those girls are strong and really made something of their lives where others would have failed.

Yes indeed jafant. Steve Earle himself has crawled back out of the hole he dug himself into.

Steve Earle has a checkered past- bdp24.

jafant, you’re fond of understatement ;-) ! Steve’s quite an interesting character, very opinionated and outspoken, rubbing some people (including Del McCoury, who cancelled the remaining shows in a tour he and his band were doing with Steve when Steve wouldn’t refrain from using the f-word on stage) the wrong way. I myself love the guy. His current road band is one of the best around, on a par with those of Lucinda Williams (she always has a real good one) and Marty Stuart (The Fabulous Superlatives ROCK!).

I saw that tour with Del McCoury, at the TLA on South Street in Philadelphia, and was completely impressed.  I have, however, grown to severely dislike Steve Earle the person, and no longer play his music or go to his shows; he is, to me (and I need forgiveness I suppose for being judgmental of others) a self-centered, selfish, lost nasty human being.
