alright, I shall try and express my feeling towards my fav album. due to the circumstances surrounding it. my fav album is by a long country mile, my fav for the following reason. I have to admit I thought around the time in the ghetto that steve earle was lost to us. I thought that he was just another guy falling by the way side. my fav is "train a coming." The songs that make up this album i believe truely shows SE at his very best. Steve is carrying the touch of the all time story tellers on this album. you guys know the stories and like me will paint a picture in your own minds eye.
it could be Caroline forced by circumstances to make the best of whats on offer (TVZ) , the boy trapped in an alley ...., or even one of the brothers fighting with Ben mc Culloch. however i have to give special mention to "The Hard Way." How many of you reading this wouldn't get a rush if they were in a venue and Steve and a band burst into Justice .." ( all you who live .... ) but, let not be fooled. Steve and our dear friend Jo (missintexas) have worked hard against the demon who seek to undermind they both respective stablities. hell fuck ( sorry del) the man is held in such high esteem for one reason and one reason only. " he is the greatest living songwriter plying his trade today. !! " If i was at a party and someone put on a Steve Earle album I would be the first to beem and have a smile on my face.

its all good. but the second coming was a joy to behold and "Train A Coming." was the starting point. the guy we see today is a legend and we owe a lot to "Train a Comin' "
LONG MAY HE RUN
Got a lot of memories tied up in this place
So much time spent in so little space
