You don't have to acknowledge it now, but Steve Earle will go down in history as one of the greatest to ever do it. RIP Justin Townes Earle too Steve gave much more to this world than just his music.
I love the song and have loved it since the first time I heard it! Steve Earle has the perfect voice for his songs! Every time I hear it, I turn the radio up LOUD.
This has ALWAYS been one of my favorite songs, introducing me to a different take on bluegrass, badass sound that belonged to Steve Earle! The man deserves more recognition!
I remember watching the video for this song on MTV in the Army barracks in Ga. I got recalled for Desert Storm, and I watched this video and I was blown away by how 'Outlaw' and badass this song was. Steve Earle deserves more attention.
If you aren’t familiar with his sons music you should check it out. Justin Townes Earle (RIP) was also an amazing talent, better than Steve in my opinion. Unfortunately he didn’t just get his dad’s talent he also got his habits, and it caught up to him in 2020. Such a loss for music.
I bought this album in late 87 finally got to see him play at the Deniliquin ute muster in 2013 such a pleasure to see him play copperhead road Il never forget it thank you Steve earl the song means a lot to Viet kids aswell
Like many people, this was my introduction to Steve Earle back in the day. I remember this song coming over the speakers in my 88 Mustang 5.0 and thinking "shit, that's bad ass". Been a fan ever since.
I have loved this song so much from the first time I heard it. It hit near home for me. I grew up in Arkansas in the 50s & 60s and knew just which hollows had that sour mash smell.😂😋 I was in college in the 70s, and just as the song portrayed, the conversion to seed happened. 🦗 😅😊Thanks Steve Earle for the song & memories.😊
I grew up in Arkansas at the same time as you. I've always been a rocker but my bluegrass roots still run deep. The first time I heard Copperhead Road I was downtown in the car, I rolled down my window and hollered THESE ARE MY PEOPLE!!! Steve always makes me feel that way 😊
WTF is with the negative comments? This is a classic… this kinda music never got played on the radio. So good it pushed thru… Show some respect… brother killing the mando and telling story!
Mr Earle, you are my favorite writer of real poetry. Thank you for your contribution. I’m 50 but thought you were a God back in the day 80’s. Keep it up. I’m in Northern California and would love to see you do your thing soon.🤙🏼
Went to see Steve with his full band 25+ odd years ago in the Ulster Hall in Belfast, jeeeez when he did this song the place went berserk. Without doubt the best concert I ever went to. The man’s an act of pure brilliance.
Respected this song from the first time I heard it on vinyl. I was lucky enough to see it live in Steve's set at Feile '91 (Trip 2 Tipp) His inclusion was one of the reasons I bought a ticket for that 3 day festival. I hung on every word. I also hope that some of that crowd hang their heads in shame for how they behaved towards an established artist. Steve did not receive the respect he earned from that crowd. I personally had a great time though, the memory is cherished.
Saw him at The Irish Centre, Leeds in 1989 (I think), what a fantastic gig, He had Stacey with him & they played a really long set. A lot of Guinness got disappeared too, Man, I wish I was 18 again.
Mr.Earle, I never heard your song till a few years after it came out. I was amazed and seeing this version once again kicks my ass. What else is there to say ?
First saw you at Peabody's Down Under in the flats, Cleveland Ohio when you're first album came out ! Loved your music ever since. Looking forward to seeing you at Kent Stage in August !
When you live in the bush and hear the sound of low choppers coming across the forest tree tops your heart beat rises and the intro to this song plays in your mind not that one would be doing anything illegal

Hello there, it’s really nice meeting you here.
An extremely well written song. A highly underrated song writer.
I took my 85 year old mom to see him at a small venue several years ago. She rocked out right with me. Awesome!
Very cool👍🏻

Go mama! Love this.❤

Hey 👋 how are you doing today…?
It’s not bluegrass in any way. It’s pure rock and roll with elements of rockabilly. Very Bruce Springsteen in spirit.
@@dmanstarr Springsteen is a stretch but okay🥸
@@dmanstarr this bluegrass goes straight over my head, no idea what it means BUT I can certainly hear and feel the Springsteen connection

Hello there, it’s really nice meeting you here.
Can't start my day without hearing this song.. Love from India
Austin City Limits .. what an epic music platform !!! It's introduced more people to great music than the transistor radio in its day.

Empire Theater Belleville drunk broad yelling Copper Head Road!!! He replies do you really think I'm not going to play it...priceless

One of the best constructed songs in the history of the history!
So many of his songs are classics
Love this song, its a classic
Surely One of a Kind song ! The fiddle really dresses it up.
Guitar town was great but when this came out.Damn!❤
I first heard this song about a year ago. I need to get out more Jesus. What a great song and music.. I must listen to song a couple of times a week.

WTF is with the negative comments? This is a classic… this kinda music never got played on the radio. So good it pushed thru… Show some respect… brother killing the mando and telling story!
This song got airplay!
@@flyingburritobro68dunno whereabouts you live or heard it but we didn’t….in Wisconsin
definitely got a ton of airplay here in south texas
what are you on about negative comments? I just scrolled quite a bit, and didnt see one single negative comment
Yeah, it was played a lot on the radio when it came out.
Steve’s still got it. Love this song and music is awesome.
Hello there, it’s really nice meeting you here.
The man writes some great tunes.

Rogue Theater in Grants Pass, OR July 23, 2023...see ya there
Never heard of Led Zeppelin ???? What's wrong with your ears ????
@@chriskibler7998probably full of Robert Johnson sitting at the crossroads. Zeppelin is fine but they don't get to claim that Lemon song
Awesome! Haven't had the privilege of hearing a version like this! 👍👍😎😎🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

@@jtjt4827 Yup! He's even got the communist "Hammer & Sickle" on the front of the kick drum! Great song but what a douche! Go live in Russia!

For me it's right up there with Guitar Town.
I love this song!
Never forget when he debuted this up Yonge St Toronto....Wall to wall Satans Choice and Outlaws,.,.,.,long life my friend.
This music takes me to the smokey mountains and the people who live there.
Takes me to the Ozarks. I grew up in Arkansas.
Germany ‘89 to ‘91. WOW those were the days.
Love the song . That’s not the only song he’s sang . Gota lot of great songs…
MR. STATE TROOPER ONE OF THE DEEPER ONES...
Nowhere Road will always be a fav of mine. Many more too.
Mr.Earle, I never heard your song till a few years after it came out. I was amazed and seeing this version once again kicks my ass. What else is there to say ?
Takes me back to family reunions on the little pee dee sippin shine when mom wasn’t lookin👍👍
I love songs that tell a story like this.
I have Copperhead Road as my ring tone. Great song
I saw Steve open for Bob Dylan in 1988. As you can imagine, Steve's performance was the highlight for the crowd.
You are so amazing i love this song so much
I was fortunate to see him live when he started to become famous
Same here. I can't even remember who he was opening for.
love this song
That's a MASTERPIECE 👏🏻
