This is a amazing album from 1999. I have always felt that Steve Earle is one of those hardcore, to the bone, no messing around, kind of singer songwriters; up there with Neil Young and Bob Dylan. Then he choose to collaborate with arguably the best band in bluegrass right now. They are certainly very tight and old school but also progressive enough to let everyone in. You put this combo together and look out. The first seven songs on this CD are unparalleled with anything else I am listening to. Check out how he opens the record:Texas Eagle
On this one Steve and Ronnie switch; Steve on mandolin and Ronnie on guitar.
