Every song is great, it's his best single album in my estimation ... it's follow-up El Corazon is my next fave.

The opening track, Feel Alright ... is pretty much my theme song.

Apart from Guitar Town of course, those two are absolutely essential. After that, everything from Revolution Starts Now and before is great, but those are the three classics.

I've seen him 4 times, including Copperhead Road tour ... way back.

Here's one from Transcendental Blues, another really solid record, and this is in my top 5 Steve songs ... recorded in Ireland ... freaking awesome ...

His album and tour — Revolution Starts Now — got me through my funk when george war bush beat Kerry.

30+ years of work to go through in several styles.

Straight Country, Southern Rock, Outlaw Country, Bluegrass/Folk and while not all of it hits the 10 ring for me - NONE of it is bullshit. It's all good

Like this rock song about a vigilante killing in the Toronto Territory of the Dominion of British Canada
