2002 Go Amanda Steve Earle His Guitar Town from 1986 was possibly the best country single of the decad, back when he could pass for a Music Row comer competing with Dwight Yoakam? - he was uncommonly class-conscious (especially for the son of an air traffic controller), and by 1988s Copperhead Road his albums were breaking AOR rather than country. In 1994, much mayhem later, his heroin addiction completed his radicalization by landing him in jail. Like Lucinda Williams, each record moved further away from country to the point where they were beyond categorization. Bt 2002 he was tackling 911 and Islam in his CD Jerusalem - but he had not forgotten 1986 and could still rock & roll. https://youtube/watch?v=rHFw0tCo0nU
