In 1986 I was 27 yrs old. I was an avid stereo geek and music nut. Most of my friends were into R&R but I was broadening the scope of what I liked. I used to loiter in "record stores" for hours just looking through LPs. I was VERY late to the CD craze and was still collecting vinyl LPs. I picked up a cope of Guitar Town. I had no idea who Steve Earle was. Something told me to take that home. Been a HUGE fan ever since. THANK YOU Mr Earle. Thanks for posting this video.
Me either. I love Steve's music. I'm so proud of him.i want to see him live one day. It's on my bucket list.❤️ Since your in my heart, i'thinking about you and family. I'm very greatful your music kept my mind right when I had that car accident, I'm very thankful .... Love to you
well it's been a very sad a hard week and I thank you Steve for your music. I listen to often. my grandchildrens father passed away, your music has helped to get thru this. thank you
Love this ty!! I learned how to play on my dad's '52 blonde J200, I remember it had a small neck, it was fantastic (long gone now). He introduced it to me as "this is a J200, the finest guitar ever made!", lol, left quite an impression on me. Just bought a replacement, there is nothing like it! Big fan, ty for this vid❤🎶
Steve, My condolences go out to you on the loss of your son, I first saw you in Las Cruces New Mexico, you opened up for Bob Dylan, I think it was 1990 or so, i went home and bought every album you had, Then I saw you in Durango Colorado playing at Fort Lewis College, i think in 2014 , I was sitting on a park bench about 50 feet from your bus, you came out of the door and waved at me, i came over to the bus, and you invited me in, just me and you, i thought that this is Heaven Here, we talked for about 15 min, and you said , i need to get inside now, Mr. Earle, thank you so much for doing this for a person sitting on a Bench, you made my Life a Greater place to be, No big head about you at all, Just a Real Person, Thank you for your great music Sir, Cousin Figel
Hi Steve. That song never got tired listen to still remember hear on radio station once tape it but later tape broke. But did buy cassette tapes though years. I had buy album at concert. Thank You. Always enjoy listen to all classic hits songs though years. Thank You Keep On Rocking!!!
One of, if not the best songs ever written. The words, music, that guitar run…just the perfection of this song in its’ entirety. Passion in the vocals. Just an incredible and very perfectly written musical masterpiece. Thank you Steve.
Well Steve, my daughter and three grand babies lost their daddy June first drug overdose. It's been a ruff time and I really love him too. He was a good man very enjoyable to be around but couldn't get the monkey off his back. So sad...... I hope that you are doing good. Much love to you and family. It's very hard to lose a loved one. Your music is healing to my soul, I feel such peace when I listen to your music. Thank you. Love you✌️🙂🌻
I just got back to Austin area, I'm Born and raised in San Antonio, I left too, I been in Nashville to visit the action everyone seems to cover your songs, I'd dig it if I could get lessons of yours
Lovely sunny Saturday morning treat after a crap week. Love these videos. Disappointing to have the video stop neatly at the end this time.and no "aw fuck" from the darkness 😅.
I Love you, Steve. my first husband collected antique guitars so I love your guitar videos. My son Avery has been playing guitar all but 4 years of his life. U inspire him and I thank you cuz. Avery is also a really good drummer. Love your music, it gives me ✌️ peace
When I was just a little kid I saw Emmylou Harris playing a black SJ-200 on a Dutch tv show. It made me laugh, because that guitar looked huuuuuuge on her. But it was cool anyway and I always remembered it. Many years later I 'discovered' Townes van Zandt and he played a beaten up natural finished SJ-200. I fell in love with Townes' music and with the instrument. From that moment on it became my dream guitar. I can only hope one day that dream will come true. 😊
I've wanted a J-200 all my guitar playing life. Before I got married in 2002, my then-girlfriend took me to the Hollywood Guitar Center to buy me a good acoustic. I played every guitar on the walls of their very impressive acoustic guitar room. I walked in there with my heart set on a J-200, but walked out with a Taylor 815-CE. It just sounded better on that day in that room. No regrets but I still want a J-200. Some day... soon.
Steve- Huge fan from GA, seen you a couple times at City Winery in Atlanta not that long ago! You are so right... the sound of this guitar reminds me of the sound of the live at McCabe's you done which I think was that J100 you are talking about... I recently just bought a 49 J45, best guitar I've ever owned! Take care my friend and keep pickin and grinin!
I have a 1985 gibson J100 blonde I picked up at Chicago Music Exchange several years bsck. Same as your ebony one. Great stage guitar. Ive always called it a poor mans j200. Love these video's
I've liked Steve Earle from the day I heard his first song and now years later I like him even more. No reason to think otherwise. Keep up the good work Mr Earle, your songs are the most memorable.
Thanks for this video, Steve. You’re one of my favorites, and have been since Guitar Town was released. I bought a J-200, an early one made in Bozeman, from Elderly Instruments in 1989. Still have it and still love it.
Absolute class! This series continues to be essential viewing - a history lesson for guitar fans, but also, so, so much more than that for Steve Earle fans. Thanks again, Steve. Take care.
I got a J200 about ten years ago. Fell in love with them the first time I played one but took me two years to have the courage to splash the cash and buy one, it cost me nearly three months pay but I've never regretted it for a second. The guitar just gets better with time. I'd describe it as the perfect guitar for an occasionally aggressive strummer, it should can take a hammering. Regards from Manchester, UK.
718 retallack street zukamitafuto you bring the crowd here or do i come to rae street or pasqua street i know this guy i went to his apartment. i tried to go to pasqua street in march/april last year got denied of course im going to come there soon
Your story reminds me of weekends spent going to Martin Music first as a teenager, too early to be any good at talking to girls, unable to get a date, or to drive a car, but interested in how other guitars played, versus some cheap hand me down I had around age 12. I had had accordion lessons from age 6 to 10, but got really tired of that, and swore to just learn without more than just a couple lessons from an aunt's in-laws brother on how to run a twelve bar blues. Every week I'd try a new one, maybe confirm on liking one from a week ago. I just loved that, and felt a kinship with anybody old or young doing the same thing.
I just noticed that you were playing a J200 Celebrity (1985/86) on Johnny Come Lately. I love the Celebrity and hope you still have yours. Also see my comment from 2 years ago about seeing it at the McCabes concert in 1991. Took me over a year just to figure out which J200 it was but it has a unique pick guard and eventually I found one in Japan....then Gilmore sold his at auction and we'll probably never see one on the market again....and the Celebrity had Rosewood B/S
I absolutely love these videos Steve is doing. I came to playing acoustic guitar late in life and I find them ver informative and, for me, inspiring. Also prompted me to order some Fred Kelly Bumblebee picks for my messed up right hand.
I love that the guitar used to belong to John Leventhal, also a great guitarist. But, yes, I agree - 'strumming' is not a word I associate with Steve Earle's playing. Ye gads, hearing Guitar Town played and sung solo, just for us has cheered me up so much, here in England. 💕
Nice seeing you Steve on this platform. I would enjoy chatting with you and perhaps sharing ideas musically etc. My studio is in southern Maine. Cheer's, H.L.
I get an uplifting feeling when I see a new video out. Thank you so much Steve for your time and effort to do this. This tune was one of those that, as soon as I heard it, I had to have the album from this guy I'd never heard of. The rest of the album didn't disappoint.
I look forward to these every friday!!!! you, sir, are one of the main reasons I've decided to go full force into the whole singer/songwriter thing....I just love writing my music and playing for people and you (and Justin!!!) were and are still a big inspiration! keep em comin!
Thank you, Steve for playing the kick Ass jam.Don't forget to keep San Anton,Tx.in the back of your mind brother. We need to see you LIVE !!!NOW"! MORE THEN EVER .PLEASE TAKE THE TIME AND COME ON IN FOR A CONCERT!"REAL"! "REALLY "!"SOON "!!! "HAVE A GREAT BLESSED DAY STEVE "!
That guitar makes my dreadnaught look like a parlor guitar! Thank you for sharing your perspective, music and knowledge with us, as well as a look at your collections of guitars, books, and now pictures. It is like you are letting us into your heart and your home at the same time.
Steve Earle, always liked your #1 hit, but started hearing this in the regular play list on Sirius XM Red, White and Booze. Bad ass song sir! Love the tag line base! Great representation on that 1951 Gibson! Thank you for providing quality music!
Thank you Steve for the video series. I owned the same J100 twice. Loved it, recorded a few songs with it and played many solo shows. I sold it to a vet who was in need of a good guitar and then 5 years later he couldn't play much anymore so he sold it back to me. I owned it another 4 years and for some got dang reason I traded it for a 52 telecaster RI . Stupid is as stupid does... I guess. Sometimes I just wanna bang away on the old J100
Steve In 1991 March (search UA-cam for a McCabes concert) you made a fuss over the J200 Celebrity you were playing. It is Rosewood back and sides, sounded great. You said: 'that one has some scary songs in it'...or something close. You played Have Mercy and I think that guitar made the song special.
@@jennycartwright5578 NO. It was a J200 with an unusual pic guard and nice inlay. Made in 1985 and 86 and only 90 were made. David Gilmour collected them and 2 sold for $237,000 and $243000 at his auction in 2019. Maybe Steve borrowed one from Dwight Yokum as he is seen playing one, with Steve, doing Guitar Town. I never saw him play one after that show.
Happy Birthday Steve!! I’m in good company as well as many others that share our day January 17, 2022 If we could only turn back time, to safer, better days and knew what we know now.
This is the video i was waiting for. I have two sj200’s and a custom pawless made to sj200 specs out of mesquite. Love this series but was waiting for this one specifically.
Congrats on election to Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame! Last time I spoke to Kris, a glass half full kind of guy, he said you’ll make it into the Country Music HOF. I said you belong there; he said it would happen.

Lyrics: Hey pretty baby are you ready for me It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antone With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on There's a speed trap up ahead in Selma Town But no local yokel gonna shut me down 'Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound And we've come a thousand miles from a Guitar Town Nothin' ever happened 'round my hometown And I ain't the kind to just hang around But I heard someone callin' my name one day And I followed that voice down the lost highway Everybody told me you can't get far On thirty-seven dollars and a jap guitar Now I'm smokin' into Texas with the hammer down And a-rockin' little combo from the Guitar Town Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault I love to hear the steel belts hummin' on the asphalt Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop Stumble in the restaurant wonderin' why I don't stop Gotta keep rockin' why I still can I gotta two pack habit and a motel tan But when my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man With my back to the riser, I make my stand And hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight We're loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight One of these days I'm gonna settle down And take you back with me to the Guitar Town আরে সুন্দর baby, তুমি কি আমার জন্য প্রস্তুত? এটা টেনেসি থেকে আপনার ভাল রকিন বাবা আমি অস্টিনের বাইরে সান অ্যান্টোনের জন্য আবদ্ধ রেডিও ব্লাস্টিন এবং পাখি কুকুরের সাথে সেলমা টাউনের সামনে একটি গতির ফাঁদ রয়েছে কিন্তু কোন স্থানীয় জোকেল আমাকে বন্ধ করবে না 'কারণ আমি এবং আমার ছেলেরা এই রিগটি মুক্ত করে দিয়েছি এবং আমরা একটি গিটার টাউন থেকে হাজার মাইল এসেছি আমার শহরের আশেপাশে কখনো কিছুই ঘটেনি এবং আমি শুধু চারপাশে ঝুলন্ত ধরনের নই কিন্তু একদিন শুনলাম কেউ আমার নাম ধরে ডাকছে এবং আমি সেই কণ্ঠস্বরকে অনুসরণ করলাম হারিয়ে যাওয়া রাজপথে সবাই আমাকে বলেছিল তুমি বেশিদূর যেতে পারবে না সাঁইত্রিশ ডলার এবং একটি জ্যাপ গিটারে এখন আমি হাতুড়ি দিয়ে টেক্সাসে ধূমপান করছি এবং গিটার টাউন থেকে একটি-রকিন' ছোট্ট কম্বো আরে সুন্দর baby তুমি জানো না এটা আমার দোষ নয় আমি ডামারে স্টিলের বেল্টের হুমমিন শুনতে ভালোবাসি মাঝরাতে ট্রাক স্টপে জেগে রেস্তোরাঁয় হোঁচট খেয়ে ভাবছি কেন আমি থামছি না রকিং রাখতে হবে কেন আমি এখনও পারি আমার দুটি প্যাক অভ্যাস এবং একটি মোটেল ট্যান আছে কিন্তু যখন আমার বুট বোর্ডে আঘাত করে তখন আমি একেবারে নতুন মানুষ রাইজারে আমার পিঠ দিয়ে, আমি আমার অবস্থান তৈরি করি আর হে সুন্দর baby তুমি আমাকে শক্ত করে ধরে রাখবে না আমরা আজ রাতে এখান থেকে লোড করছি এবং রোলিং করছি এই একদিন আমি বসতি স্থাপন করছি এবং তোমাকে আমার সাথে গিটার টাউনে নিয়ে যাব
Nice, Steve! Good sound transmitted over the web from that ringing guitar and good version of your song, although can't imagine how many times you've performed it for people by now.
Lovely instrument..l feel the earlier Rosewood body has superior top end projection..but l prefer the maple..it is also lighter in weight. Nice bottom end.
In 1986 I was 27 yrs old. I was an avid stereo geek and music nut. Most of my friends were into R&R but I was broadening the scope of what I liked.

Best song ever written.
Great performance as usual!!!
Steve. You are the the man!!! It ain’t the guitar so much, it’s you. And you are the man!!!
I'm not a fan of country music, but i am a fan of Steve Earle.

Your story reminds me of weekends spent going to Martin Music first as a teenager, too early to be any good at talking to girls, unable to get a date, or to drive a car, but interested in how other guitars played, versus some cheap hand me down I had around age 12. I had had accordion lessons from age 6 to 10, but got really tired of that, and swore to just learn without more than just a couple lessons from an aunt's in-laws brother on how to run a twelve bar blues.

Congratulation Steve Earle !
I have a mid 80's MIJ Fender Tele that always got me laughed at in high school. Its still my #1.
Billy Bee Damn good guitars they are!
Those made in Japan fenders are great. I actually have a tokai that I play all the time. Plays great and I'm not as worried about playing it in bars.
Becoming one of my favorite parts of the weekend!

Holy cow....how is that even possible to dig grooves into the body like that under the stings? wow
Nice seeing you Steve on this platform. I would enjoy chatting with you and perhaps sharing ideas musically etc. My studio is in southern Maine.
Cheer's,

Leventhal shlda said, it's a stunner!
Hello steve, this old lady love your songs
what a wonderful storyteller.
Steve, thanks for these videos (and for a lifetime of new music). A vintage J200 is on my wishlist. Someday. Someday.
I can hear that Big Boy's harmonic resonance all the way down here to Gawja...i hope we be hearing it here in a few down Savannah way.
one of my all time favorites
love this man ❤❤❤❤❤
And he loves you

Pretty maple guitar. Like the blonde color. Love hearing you sing and talk about your guitars. Prayers you are hanging in there with Justin's passing.
Great stuff, thanks Steve. These posts are my essential must watch videos in these terrible times.
Great stuff, Steve. Love this series and really enjoyed this epi; especially hearing you play Guitar Town on the big curvaceous beauty.
Beautiful

Sorry I just remembered him pointing to a guitar propped up with the CR Logo on it and he said there are some pretty scary songs in that one.
@@xkguy Thanks for the info, it was a top solo show hey?
Then again maybe it just had a skull and crossbones on it. Ill have to watch it again lol
Happy Birthday Steve!! I’m in good company as well as many others that share our day January 17, 2022
If we could only turn back time, to safer, better days and knew what we know now.
This is the video i was waiting for. I have two sj200’s and a custom pawless made to sj200 specs out of mesquite. Love this series but was waiting for this one specifically.
i sing this song every time i drive through Selma lol
LOVE YA WORK MATE!
Please do more of these! We miss you in Portland.
Pardon me if in anyway I misspoke. Otis Gibbs is another hero who generously contributes in these difficult days.
Guitar Town! Thank you Steve ♥

হে সুন্দর baby তুমি আমাকে শক্ত করে ধরে রাখবে না.....
Lyrics:
Hey pretty baby are you ready for me
It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee
I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antone
With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on
There's a speed trap up ahead in Selma Town
But no local yokel gonna shut me down
'Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound
And we've come a thousand miles from a Guitar Town
Nothin' ever happened 'round my hometown
And I ain't the kind to just hang around
But I heard someone callin' my name one day
And I followed that voice down the lost highway
Everybody told me you can't get far
On thirty-seven dollars and a jap guitar
Now I'm smokin' into Texas with the hammer down
And a-rockin' little combo from the Guitar Town
Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault
I love to hear the steel belts hummin' on the asphalt
Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop
Stumble in the restaurant wonderin' why I don't stop
Gotta keep rockin' why I still can
I gotta two pack habit and a motel tan
But when my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man
With my back to the riser, I make my stand
And hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight
We're loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
And take you back with me to the Guitar Town
আরে সুন্দর baby, তুমি কি আমার জন্য প্রস্তুত?
এটা টেনেসি থেকে আপনার ভাল রকিন বাবা
আমি অস্টিনের বাইরে সান অ্যান্টোনের জন্য আবদ্ধ
রেডিও ব্লাস্টিন এবং পাখি কুকুরের সাথে
সেলমা টাউনের সামনে একটি গতির ফাঁদ রয়েছে
কিন্তু কোন স্থানীয় জোকেল আমাকে বন্ধ করবে না
'কারণ আমি এবং আমার ছেলেরা এই রিগটি মুক্ত করে দিয়েছি
এবং আমরা একটি গিটার টাউন থেকে হাজার মাইল এসেছি
আমার শহরের আশেপাশে কখনো কিছুই ঘটেনি
এবং আমি শুধু চারপাশে ঝুলন্ত ধরনের নই
কিন্তু একদিন শুনলাম কেউ আমার নাম ধরে ডাকছে
এবং আমি সেই কণ্ঠস্বরকে অনুসরণ করলাম হারিয়ে যাওয়া রাজপথে
সবাই আমাকে বলেছিল তুমি বেশিদূর যেতে পারবে না
সাঁইত্রিশ ডলার এবং একটি জ্যাপ গিটারে
এখন আমি হাতুড়ি দিয়ে টেক্সাসে ধূমপান করছি
এবং গিটার টাউন থেকে একটি-রকিন' ছোট্ট কম্বো
আরে সুন্দর baby তুমি জানো না এটা আমার দোষ নয়
আমি ডামারে স্টিলের বেল্টের হুমমিন শুনতে ভালোবাসি
মাঝরাতে ট্রাক স্টপে জেগে
রেস্তোরাঁয় হোঁচট খেয়ে ভাবছি কেন আমি থামছি না
রকিং রাখতে হবে কেন আমি এখনও পারি
আমার দুটি প্যাক অভ্যাস এবং একটি মোটেল ট্যান আছে
কিন্তু যখন আমার বুট বোর্ডে আঘাত করে তখন আমি একেবারে নতুন মানুষ
রাইজারে আমার পিঠ দিয়ে, আমি আমার অবস্থান তৈরি করি
আর হে সুন্দর baby তুমি আমাকে শক্ত করে ধরে রাখবে না
আমরা আজ রাতে এখান থেকে লোড করছি এবং রোলিং করছি
এই একদিন আমি বসতি স্থাপন করছি
এবং তোমাকে আমার সাথে গিটার টাউনে নিয়ে যাব
just joined my first band at 60 yo and looking forward to doing some Steve Earle.
Fearless Heart inscribed in our wedding bands. Thanks for the live streams. Please take good care 🎶🙏🏽
That is such a great song!
Great tune, and super sweet guitar, you are one of the best to ever do it! Cheers from Canada!
Awesome man
Hi Steve love you here in nwo
Cool guitar!!👍
Nice, Steve! Good sound transmitted over the web from that ringing guitar and good version of your song, although can't imagine how many times you've performed it for people by now.
Love these!
I miss these videos describing guitars. Hope you're doing well. Felt compelled to say a prayer for you tonight.
She's purdy and sings good too put a ring on it!
Very cool intro and great sound. Really enjoyed this.
Beautiful guitar sound !
That guitar sounds terrific!
Been waiting for this one
Me, too!
The boy should do well
Played along with my J35......not exactly the same but in the same family!
That’s some beautiful maple! Bring that J200 out to WY! Let’s go fly fishing on the North Platte. On me.
Lovely instrument..l feel the earlier Rosewood body has superior top end projection..but l prefer the maple..it is also lighter in weight.
Nice bottom end.
Wonderful!
