1. Go to iTunes or Rhapsody or something similar and sample it

Steve Earle is a great American and a great songwriter.

2. These are the words of one of the songs on it, as sent to me by a friend.

On edit: the song is called "Home to Houston".

When I pulled out of Basra they all wished me luck
Just like they always did before
With a bulletproof screen on the hood of my truck
And a Bradley on my back door
And I wound her up and shifted her down
And I offered this prayer to my lord
I said “God get me back home to Houston alive
and I won’t drive a truck anymore”

Early in the mornin’ and I’m rollin’ fast
Haulin’ nine thousand gallons of high test gas
Sergeant on the radio hollerin’ at me
Look out up ahead here come a R.P.G.
If I ever get home to Houston alive
Then I won’t drive a truck anymore

I’ve driven the big rigs for all of my life
And my radio handle’s “Train”
Down steep mountain roads on the darkest of nights
I had ice water in my veins
And I come over here ‘cause I just didn’t care
Now I’m older and wiser by far
If I ever get home to Houston alive
Then I won’t drive a truck anymore

Great God A’mighty what was wrong with me
I know the money’s good but buddy can’t you see
You can’t take it with you and that ain’t no lie
I don’t wanna let ‘em get me I’m too young to die
If I ever get home to Houston alive
Then I won’t drive a truck anymore

4. revolution rocks!

I bought the ceedee on Tuesday and have played it a minimum of three times a day.
It seriously rocks!
Plus there is a duet with Emmylou Harris which is gorgeous (as always).
Support radical voices while you can. :hippie:

5. Get it today!

Get it for the terrific, angry lyrics and the rawking guitar sound, especially on "Warrior." (Disclaimer: I'm friends with Steve's guitarist, Eric "Roscoe" Ambel, so I'm wickedly biased. But he does smoke on this thang!)
