  • Steve Earle and The Dukes perform "Copperhead Road" at the Farm Aid concert in Bristow, Virginia on September 12, 1999.
    Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.
    For more information about Farm Aid, visit: farmaid.org/you...
    Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do?

      And he gives back as well. He was playing in my town with The Dukes about 8 years ago and to my surprise, I saw him at a 12 step meeting (I’m breaking anonymity a bit, but it’s Steve Earle so not a secret). A few of us obviously recognized him and were in awe. We talked to him for a bit and he gave us all free tickets to his show in town. They rocked it out too!

      Actually, I don't think so. I have seen Steve multiple times, and he really does not change much from show to show. Setlists on a tour are almost always identical. He is quite predictable, down to the jokes and stories he tells.
      The drummer was pretty new to the band at this point, though, which might explain it.

    In my humble opinion there are maybe 10 songs in my life all genres all eras all styles that r i suppose songs beyond the normal versions of songs. I hope i make my point clearly. Songs that r on another level n i guess can go into the Library Of Congress as pieces of national archives. For me without thinking too much a few of them again, just my humble opinion, i would enter Born To Run Springsteen and the E Street Band, Symphony #9 Beethoven ( the last 6 minutes is in itself masterful n 6 ranges of pure emotion) i would put PSA by Jay-Z 2003 as 2 or 3 minutes of some of the deepest most realistic n thought provoking rap lyrics ever as well as maybe something by Dylan of course. On n on BUT this masterpiece has to be there. From the narrative to the combo of musical arrangement. The story n almost anger or revisionist anger idk just truly beautiful in every way.
