Recent tour reviews

• He was fantastic, acoustic set, told some great stories with humor , played old and new stuff. Intimate setting a theater, like being in coffee house or living room. Would see again.

• I had never seen Steve Earle in a solo concert until last night, though I've seen him many times over the past 20 years, most often with his band, the Dukes, in much larger venues. I have to say that last night's concert at The Kessler Theater in Dallas was my very favorite Steve Earle concert thus far. He is always an inspiring performer and he has come such a long way in his attitude toward what it really means to be an American songwriter. He sang songs about women, love and loss; always casting himself as a romantic who was inspired by his parents' lengthy marriage to never give up on love and marriage. He amused us with a story about how his thinking about keeping a loaded shot gun under his mattress changed radically after his 14 year old son came to live him. He sang his beautiful song, "City of Immigrants" after he told a story about the positive influence of the many immigrants with whom he interacts on a daily basis in New York City. He sang his beautiful song, "Galway Girl" about many of our Irish ancestors and then, he transitioned into Copperhead Road. He'll be releasing a new cd soon based on Guy Clark songs. He refers to Guy as "his teacher", to whom he became close after he moved to Nashville about 40 years ago by way of his previous relationship with Townes Van Zandt. I can't wait to buy it!

• A solo acoustic concert which hit the spot on a snowy night in Kansas. Steve covered a wide range of songs including his best know and 2 upcoming songs, 1 a Guy Clark cover, (his next album is Guy Clark songs which sounds amazing) and the other from an off-Broadway musical about W Virginia coal mines. Shannon McNally was a strong opening act. He joined her for the encore and she joined him for a wonderful rendition of Goodbye.

  He got a little frisky at one point near the end as an audience member wanted him to sing more and talk less. Steve shut that down. I don't understand how people don't know his politics at this point. I mean you're at the show, you've listened to his music, soooo yeah he's gonna say shit.

  Some great stories as well, my favorite one about 14 year old Justin and a gun. He's just so authentic.
