In 1975, Steve Earle moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he met Guy Clark and his wife Susanna. He appears in the 1975 film Heartworn Highways, which documents the songwriting scene in Nashville around Clark, including fellow Texas musicians Townes van Zandt and Rodney Crowell. Earle had already met Van Zandt in Texas, and refers to Clark and Van Zandt as his mentors and teachers. Clark was instrumental in Earle being hired as a songwriter by the Sunbury Dunbar publishing division of RCA. There he wrote songs for the likes of Carl Perkins, Johnny Lee, Vince Gill and Steve Wariner. His song "Mustang Wine" was due to be recorded by Elvis Presley in 1975, but Presley did not turn up for the recording session. The song was released as a single by Carl Perkins. He also wrote the Patty Loveless hit "A Little Bit in Love." Earle did backing vocals on "Desperados Waiting for a Train" (together with Emmylou Harris) on Clark's first album Old No. 1 and toured in Clark's band. In 1981 Earle achieved a top-ten cut with "When You Fall in Love," which was recorded by Johnny Lee. In 1985 one of his compositions "A Far Cry from You" was recorded by Connie Smith, who made the song a minor hit that year.
Earle's early work as a recorded performer was in the rockabilly style, and can be heard on his compilation album: Early Tracks. The album was recorded for Epic Records, but the company dropped Earle, only releasing the album in 1987 after he found success with MCA Nashville. Earle had to wait until 1986 before his first album, Guitar Town, was released by MCA. It was a critical success and was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. The follow-up albums Exit 0 in 1987 and the certified-gold Copperhead Road, 1988, built on this success. With Copperhead Road, Earle moved to MCA Los Angeles and drew increasingly on Rock and roll influences.
Earle is the subject of the documentary film Just an American Boy, directed by Amos Poe, which explores his political views as well as his music. The film was shot while Earle was touring in support of his 2002 release Jerusalem. In 2005, he caused consternation among his fans by allowing the song The Revolution Starts Now to be used by General Motors in a TV advertisement for pick-up trucks.In 2006, Earle contributed a cover of Randy Newman's song "Rednecks" to the tribute album Sail Away: The Songs of Randy Newman.[6] Earle is also the subject of two biographies, Steve Earle: Fearless Heart, Outlaw Poet, by the noted New York-based music writer David McGee and Hardcore Troubadour: The Life and Near Death of Steve Earle by Lauren St. John.
In September 2007, Earle released his twelfth studio album, Washington Square Serenade,on New West Records. Earle recorded the album after relocating to New York City, and it was his first attempt at using digital audio workstation ProTools, as opposed to traditional analog recording techniques.[8] The disc features wife Allison Moorer on "Days Aren't Long Enough" and "Down Here Below." The album includes Earle's version of Tom Waits' song "Way Down in the Hole" which is featured as the theme song for the fifth season of The Wire in which Earle himself appears as Walon. In 2008, Earle produced Joan Baez's album Day After Tomorrow. (Prior to their collaboration on Day After Tomorrow, Baez had covered two Earle songs, "Christmas in Washington" and "Jerusalem," on previous albums.) In the winter, he toured Europe and North America in support of Washington Square Serenade, performing half the set solo and the other half with a DJ. On May 12, 2009, Earle released a tribute album, Townes, on New West Records. The album contains 15 songs written by his late friend and musical mentor Townes Van Zandt. Guest artists appearing on the album include Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Earle's wife Allison Moorer, and his son Justin Townes Earle. Both Washington Square Serenade and Townes also earned Grammy awards in the contemporary folk category.
Earle released his first novel and fourteenth studio album, both entitled I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive after a Hank Williams song, in the spring of 2011. The album was released on April 26, 2011 and was produced by T-Bone Burnett. Earle describes it as dealing with questions of mortality and having a "more country" sound than his earlier work. He plans a full band tour in support of the album in the summer of 2011.
Since his emergence as a performer, his songs have been covered by various well-known artists, including Joan Baez, The Pretenders, The Proclaimers, Eddi Reader, The Highwaymen, Waylon Jennings, Levon Helm, Emmylou Harris, Percy Sledge and Johnny Cash.Travis Tritt had a #7 country hit in 1995 with Earle's "Sometimes She Forgets."
I am a high school teacher. I appreciate how he speaks of the power of great teachers. Sadly, he also mentions how lousy teachers are detrimental to students. I am acutely aware of this truism, and hearing him renews my commitment in trying to be on the good side of the equation.
Thank you very much.
Please keep it up.
Don't give up on them.
Regards,
Cameron, Gold Coast Australia
I had the best teachers. Eternally grateful for them.
im 55, i remember Steve getting big in the 80's. Copperhead Road was playing everywhere, no looking back for him after this point. Well done Mr. Earl!!!!
I could listen to this guy just keep on talking forever.
Yes, Steve Earl is the real deal.
Right, so much insight
Reminds me of the Samuel Clements quote “I never let my schooling interfere with my education “ Steve seems to be a well educated man, in spite of his schooling.
"thank you! Sir!"
We must not forget his words: "and when I wrote this song there were people that said you're writing about a lost cause a hopeless case and I replied that can't be right because I am a recovering heroin addict and I simply cannot afford to believe anything like a hopeless case or a lost cause even exist because there was a point in my life where I was considered to be exactly that by everyone including myself"
I feel so bad for Steve on the passing of his son.
This is my favorite Steve Earle video simply because of the dialogue at the beginning and how it perfectly explains why this is such a great song/lesson we could all learn about life on this planet
God bless your loss of your son he was an amazing man rest in peace and I hope you stay clean and strong
Beautiful damned song. One of his best and that's high praise.
Love him! Oh, how he has evolved, not unlike myself... God Bless you Steve Earle! So much loss, so much suffering, Beautiful Soul in spite of it all ...
STEVE, YOU JOHN PRINE AND TOWNES , ARE MY FAVORITE SONGWRITERS, MAY JOHN AND TOWNES R.I.P., YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE LEFT BROTHER, STAY SAFE, ALL MY BEST, COUSIN FIGEL
I with you on this. I cherish Steve and miss the other 2 so much.
And Blaze Foley, Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker...
This song is very relevant today. If Steve Earle isn’t a Christian, he has certainly read the Bible. Never fear Steve, there will be a final standoff. Jesus Christ will return victorious!🙏
I love this song❤
thank u mr. earle
His greatest song, beautifully performed here.
What a beautiful man. How much better would America be if everyone were like him.
Still singing the song today.
Only the best artist's can write great music & preform with a guitar, mandolin & a harmonica..... I will be a Steve Earle: fan for ever...... thank you for the music.......
There are few musicians who put on a whole show. A lot get up there and just move from one song to another. There are a few like Steve Earl and Fred Eaglesmith that do an entire show. If you ever get a chance to see real performers like this don't pass it up. There are others that do the who thing. Don't miss them.
He outran his demons and sure glad he did....he was my Highschool hero and still is at my age of 50 now....
STUNNING Performance!!! Thank you so much & deep, Steve
Steve helps me get to my Sunday 9:30 meeting every week. When I don't want to go (and I was told that means I need a meeting). The replay of Hardcore Troubadour Hour starts at 9. I got the chance to tell him this year. I am grateful.
Thanks for checking out our videos :)
Tracy Rogers Thank you for sharing brother. It aint easy
Me, too,
Tracy. I say Steve Earle helped me get sober and, mostly, I have been that way for a long while. He is God's gift to music.
Tracy Rogers stay strong
meeting makers make it ;-) . Carry on Bro!
May God Bless you abundantly Steve Earl! I love your music, and your an amazing songwriter, I love all the old Texas musicians....first time I seen Guy Clark I feel in love with his music, and songwriting! That was in 1975 I think? Also Rusty Weir, Steve Fromholz, Jerry Jeff....Ray Wylie Hubbard, The Lost Gonzo Band....I was hooked on that awesome Texas Music! But I was just overwhelmed when you talked about how you were a recovering Herion addict, and you couldn't afford to believe anything else! And I have so much respect for you for standing up and for your beliefs and telling your story! I believe God must have a special place reserved for you when he calls you home! Thank you for your incredible music, and for being the person you are! I believe you put so much of yourself into your songwriting, and your music, it shows. You deserve so much respect! You are not a lost cause or a hopeless case!
Wish I could hit that like button more than once
He will sing his song until he dies or until things happen first. I love the stories he tells! I have a feeling he is rising to superstardom. Not many people have this type gift. Here he mentions Bob Dylan and his biology teacher and acting teachers... nice stories!!! He says he wanted a good English teacher. Sweet. Love his intelligence. I like that he tells his stories with his own guitar back ground lol, some people are already smooching to his music. Here is a perfect example that other people can also write songs, sing, talk, play guitar and harmonica.

"Rising to superstardom?" Honey where have you been for the past 20 years? I'm glad you're enjoying Steve's music. Check back for some of his first music. Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris were singing his songs in the early 70s.
Me too and Ive seen him probably a hundred times since copperhead road and the stories and the politics and the anger is all a part of being a fan, ive told my kids and grandkids, its much more than the music with steve there is a whole thing, a way of life, an attitude, I love him too ya'll
Live and let live. Keep up the message Steve and play till you drop. Great gig in Glasgow last night.
Let there be peace shared among us.
A fantastic evening. Even the rain failed to make an appearance.
I can relate...the 10th grade was as far as I made it. I own my home in CT I have a beautiful piece of property in NH and a great family.
I wouldn't trade my guitar for anything. ✌🤘
Wise man, true man (Y) more people should think like him, respect!
I enjoyed this more than any Earle song I've heard.
Their are good teachers and bad teachers just like anything else.The good teachers are in life's goals and ourselves, you learn from them instantly
WOW 🎉
What a fabulous outcome
Great great song.
In the Israeli peace movement song, Shir L'Shalom, there's a line: "It is not enough to say "the day will come". We must bring the day."
So when I sing this*, I always change the end, where he does the refrain twice with different openings, I use these:
"I believe that one fine day, all the children of Abraham / Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem.
And we must bring about the day when all the children of Abraham (etc.)
*in the shower - I wouldn't inflict my singing on anyone
The teachers "were still lying to us about what happened at the Alamo."
Steve Earle has his eyes and ears open. Some people don't want to know the truth.
It's much easier for them to wrap their lives around a bundle of lies.
In this 10 minute video there were 6 ads, one interrupting every 75 seconds. The new UA-cam = $$$
So much talent...........
Seen.this man in salina with los lobos hell of a show.met both bands after took pics with steve hes aged alot but still gets it.
When I grow up I want to be Steve Earle.
Beautiful!!
Hello to all my brothers and sisters in Australia 🌏
I, too, I share the dream of Peace for Jerusalem...

Holmes high school 🏫
Steve attended 1972(?)
WOAW!!! So powerful!
this is a wise man
steve earle for president
bloody ads are terrible in this.
AdBlock Plus.
Steve you really sound like Arlo Guthrie right now! Alice's restaurant is now in Iraq? We love you you hillbilly!
Never as so relevant as today. How long must this go on?
I don't believe in hero's but if I did this man would be my hero. Fuck Melbourne too cold, too overcrowded and too miserable. Steve please some to Queensland again I have never had the pleasure of seeing you live.
(seriously they just chucked an ad in the middle of your song as i finished posting my comment)
Mr. Earl??? When will you he arriving in wild and wonderful almost heaven west virginia for our muscle gathering?
I love this guy and his guitar sound, I know this is a Martin but what is the model anyone know ? thanks in advance , Peace Ant.
99% M-21 Steve Earle model
@@Giaour Yeah. I have one. Great guitars...
My Civics teacher was the football coach. North Carolina. Seeing a theme?
Tony Wood ....no Anthony, not the one you think you do and , where earlier Steve came from you will find bob Dylan wandering about trying to sing
Tony Wood ....listen, having that commercialized desperation, like a virus created and sold with an attached ‘update patch’ by one trick ponies= special relativity
Tony Wood it all happened the same way in those classrooms for everybody, some got recognition indicated by the lower case alphabetic icons= A+
Tony Wood ...no one learns about this stuff till much much later, some are more capable of faking that they get it the first time ‘round....

🌎⭐️💥🌈☀️
Does he perform so high always?
Come on Steve ,your quiet about gaza
Welche Gitarre spielt steve?
Because one can do that when one isn’t being checked for facts: Richard the 3rd and most ( well a great many) royalty spawned for the dual residency kingdoms of England and France, grew up as a child patron at chatieu Belin where there were very few restrictions placed upon first or second ...or even 3rd language
It’s a small thing, Steve: one of very many
A d as long as you appear to want to travel along my family lines, ibn belin, one of many kings of Jerusalem, is the one who fought Saladin: yeah, the iron smith who , in bloom portrays in heavens’ something or other= my kin
You should jump to attaturk
Dear, Steve. Don't pigeon hole all football coaches. They affect many, many young people positively. And, they guide children to make better choices. And, some even support the arts and drama departments of their highschools. Thanks.
To clarify, the enormity of some of the subject matter may concede in rift like desert places where Abraham pondered cutting his own children’s’ throats, May supersede the reconstructive magnitude necessary to stop getting so wasted you can’t find a captive audience...12 step types
for someone who's trying so hard to look intelligent, you sure did write a lot of stupid shit for no reason
is this Sydney, Nova Scotia?
Australia
great song Jerry Joseph does it too even better check out war at the end of the world
Do you believe in jesus steve i bet you do
Dont feel bad bro about your chevron money
UA-camrs need t'unite and take back the free (from commercially controlled) airwaves from the corporate demigods with all their rude, tasteless and inconsiderate interruptions. RPG.🚯☢
Yeah ? Well I wrote ‘goodbye’ and I would never turn someone who takes a drink whether they need it or not in the direction of a meeting
Being a junkie isn’t always more than a junkie gives it
If you want to skip the moralistic preaching, skip to 6:50.
Chris Cravens Steve is a story teller...if you want to skip that part, you might as well skip Steve.
"moralistic": when someone talks about something you disagree with.
Eddie said b/c you agree with what he said. See, you just did it to yourself!
@@chriscravens8318 No, of course not. I did not say you were being moralistic. I did not say he was being moralistic. Get it? It really is quite simple if you go for meaning instead of bells and whistles in your comments.
