Articles and Interviews

Steve Earle leaves comfort zone (Oct 2007)
Steve Earle keeps moving. If it's not physically, it's musically. After 33 years living in Nashville, the outspoken, sometimes controversial singer/songwriter with the Texas twang in his voice split Nashville for the Big Apple two years ago.

So, Earle thought he would make a few sonic changes going into the new disc, English for "The Heart." "I thought before I started it that I was going to make just like a more electric, guitar rock record, which was probably a direct result of several shows with Neil Young on the last tour," Earle says in an interview from his record company in Nashville. "It didn't turn out that way."  ...
