Steve Earle-Copperhead Road (Deluxe Edition 2CD) (2008-VBR)

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61%2BnRnPL3ML._SS500_.jpg -=Review=- by Mark Deming Steve Earle always played hard country music with the swagger of a rock & roll star, so it made sense that he would take a detour out of Nashville, both literally and figuratively. On Copperhead Road, Earle opted to record in Memphis and veered away from mainstream country in several directions at once ? into potent hard rock (most notably on the superb title song, which became his first rock radio hit), as well as Irish folk (with the Pogues backing Earle on "Johnny Come Lately") and even bluegrass (virtuoso acoustic pickers Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas sit in on "Nothing But a Child"). If Copperhead Road lacked a bit of the tight focus of his acclaimed debut, Guitar Town, it had energy, firepower, and smart-ass humor to spare (along with Earle's always-superb songs), and it made clear that Steve Earle had the stuff to be a contender in rock & roll, if that were what he wanted. ____________________________________________________________________ Steve Earle - Copperhead Road (Deluxe Edition) Rip Info -------- Artist: Steve Earle Album Title: Copperhead Road (Deluxe Edition) Record Label: Geffen Rip Date: 2008-05-06 Catalog Number: Genre: Rock Year: 2008 Source: CD/Multiple Discs Encoder: LAME 3.97 -V2 --vbr-new Quality: 198 kbps avg / 44.1KHz / Joint Stereo Track List ---------- Disc: 1 ------- 01 Copperhead Road 4:30 02 Snake Oil 3:30 03 Back To The Wall 5:28 04 The Devil's Right Hand 3:03 05 Johnny Come Lately 4:10 06 Even When I'm Blue 4:14 07 You Belong To Me 4:24 08 Waiting On You 5:10 09 Once You Love 4:39 10 Nothing But A Child 4:25 Disc: 2 ------- 01 The Devil's Right Hand (Live in Raleigh, 4:02 North Carolina, November 18, 1987) 02 Fearless Heart (Live in Raleigh, North 4:31 Carolina, November 18, 1987) 03 San Antonio Girl (Live in Raleigh, North 4:23 Carolina, November 18, 1987) 04 Nobody But You / Continental Trailways Bus 6:25 (Live in Raleigh, North Carolina, November 18, 1987) 05 My Baby Worships Me (Live in Raleigh, North 3:33 Carolina, November 18, 1987) 06 Wheels (Live in Raleigh, North Carolina, 4:45 November 18, 1987) 07 The Week Of Living Dangerously (Live in 7:25 Raleigh, North Carolina, November 18, 1987) 08 Johnny Come Lately (Solo) (Live in Raleigh, 3:55 North Carolina, November 18, 1987) 09 Brown And Root (Live in Raleigh, North 3:46 Carolina, November 18, 1987) 10 I Love You Too Much (Live in Raleigh, North 4:27 Carolina, November 18, 1987) 11 It's All Up To You (Live in Raleigh, North 6:10 Carolina, November 18, 1987) 12 Nebraska (Solo) (Live, 1988) 5:21 13 Copperhead Road (Live in Calgary, Canada, 4:08 April, 1989) 14 I Ain't Ever Satisfied (Live in Calgary, 3:51 Canada, April, 1989) 15 Dead Flowers (Live in Calgary, Canada, April, 5:36 1989) 16 Little Sister (Solo) (Live in Calgary, 3:15 Canada, April, 1989) 17 Guitar Town (Live in Calgary, Canada, April, 2:36 1989) -------- 02:01:42 182.90 megs Rip Notes --------- Completely Remastered. Tracks 1 - 11 on Disc 2 Previously Unreleased. Never one to mince words, Steve Earle told his biographer Lauren St John, "COPPERHEAD ROAD was 'f*$@ you,' to an extent." Released Oct. 17, 1988, the album was indeed a raised middle finger to Nashville's country music establishment, which had viewed the intransigent singer-songwriter's swift rise in the late '80s with undisguised distaste. Brazenly explosive and hard-rocking, it was not the work of an artist who would be ?or would want to be ?embraced by the Grand Ole Opry. It also marked the commercial pinnacle of his career's tumultuous first chapter. The public responded to COPPERHEAD ROAD as MCA had hoped: The album won widespread mainstream critical acclaim and substantial rock radio airplay, and became Earle's second gold release. The set broadened his fan base in a way many in Music City had not foreseen. It must have been a satisfying moment for country's most persistent anti-authoritarian: He had proved Nashville wrong. The present expanded Deluxe Edition offers a deep look at Earle on stage in the months surrounding the recording and release of COPPERHEAD ROAD. A November 1987 performance from Raleigh, North Carolina, by the Exit 0 band includes early renditions of "The Devil's Right Hand" and "Johnny Come Lately," plus three numbers dating back to his Epic sessions and covers of songs by his Nashville compadre Rodney Crowell and early influence Gram Parsons. Springsteen receives homage in a 1988 solo version of his brooding "Nebraska." Finally, five songs from an April 1989 Canadian date reveals the stops-out potency of the Copperhead Road-era Dukes on the road. Enjoy.
