I think you may have, I dug out an old bootleg of a Latino Rockabilly War gig at Coasters in Edinburgh the other day as jumped straight to IISF before playing the entire gig.
I saw them play in Bristol, I hadn't planned too but I was working at the time in the building that shared the upramp to the backstage area of Bristol Studios at the time, having a cigarette and watching a tour bus try to reverse up the slope. I signalled the driver back and once he'd got clear and up the ramp, a certain Mr Strummer came down, thanked me and got me guested. :D

What? When did that happen? I've heard an older one, with the Latino Rockabilly War, but not with the Mescaleros. Hmm, time to comb the bootlegs again...

Oh very nice. Though i gather from what Steve has been saying in interviews that Townes really wouldn't care. Actually, his songs have done much "better" (ie: top ten country charts) in the past with big stars singing them. The difference is this album is actually good.

I have a bootleg from his Hamburg show in January 2004 which he opened with a beautiful ballad-like version of "If I should fall". I´m going to see Mr Earle on February 7th in Hamburg and I really hope he´ll play it again.


I think i've said this before, but this is the best cover i've ever heard, changing the arrangement was the way to go. Other covers may be ok but... compete with The Pogues? Really?

Steve's new album is amazing, I've been a fan of Townes Van Zandt for years and who better to do it? It sold the most in it's first week of any album he's ever released, which reassures me about the record-buying public somewhat.

Hah! At least Neil had an excuse (wanting to spend his time at home, helping raise his kids full-time). What's Steve's excuse? Too happy? I have to agree that i'm not a big fan of this album, and Steve has produced very little studio output that i don't like. I mean, it's not bad, but not much jumps out at me.

His solo, mellow version of If I Should Fall From Grace remains the only cover i've ever heard that i've really liked. I mean, how could you compete with the original? Change it entirely, of course.

Anybody notice who the Dukes' axeman of the last 10 years is? Eric "Rosco" Amble was the original guitarist in The Blackhearts, as in Joan Jett & the BLackhearts. No wonder he's so damn good. Hope i get to see 'em together again some time soon.

Just saw the above cd for sale . Has anyone got it yet? [Like many on here Iam sure] I already have a copy of the first release but would still considered buying it if I new the live tracks were worth the price . Any heads up .

They are one rockin' combo.
They're to Steve like Crazy Horse is to Neil Young.

I have to agree.

I suppose he's happy, and his happiness has contributed to a loss of (what I can only describe as) his edge. Well, he's entitled to experiment. And I'm glad for him, it's about time. But when he becomes aware again, I hope I'm there.
