This appeared in my emailbox yesterday. Just thought I'd pass it along.
Happy New Year. Steve and company has lots cooked up for 2005. Here is the latest news and what's in the works in the coming months -
Steve Earle's The Revolution Starts...Now has been nominated for two Grammy Awards. Steve was cited for two nominations: one for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance for the song, "The Revolution Starts Now", and one
for Best Contemporary Folk Vocal Album for The Revolution
Starts...Now.The 47th Annual GRAMMY Awards will be held on GRAMMY Sunday, Feb. 13, at Staples Center in Los Angeles and once again will be broadcast live on CBS from 8 – 11:30 p.m.
Rich Man's War, the second single from "Revolution" goes to radio in this month. The video for Rich Man's War was directed by oscar award winning director, Jonathan Demme. Shot at CBGBs on a very emotionally charged election night this past November, the video can be viewed here:

Thanks TTM. I read in an interview Steve is planning to release a bluegrass cd this year. Very good news! I consider The Mountain still as his best album. |

He is? Really? Excellent news indeed. "The Mountain" is a masterpiece. I suppose that'll result in more touring with the Bluegrass Dukes then.
You think thats his best album, then? Good choice, its up there I guess, although I prefer "Train A Comin'" and "I Feel Alright", myself. To be honest, I dont think he's ever made an album that I didnt consider to be at least "very good". He's been remarkably consistent for twenty years. |

that was the one that put him back on the map, too...

I anxiously await southern Ontario dates...

It seems like once a month someone does something that makes me say..."Steve Earle?...I hate that fat bastard!" |

Yes he is. I read it in Heaven, a Dutch magazine (http://www.heaven.be/). I agree with you Steve is quite consistent but nevertheless I think his last three albums are good but not as good as Train A Comin', I Feel Alright, The Mountain, The Hard Way and El Corazon. His best five albums... |

I bet he speaks highly of you too.. 
and for the record, he's now a skinny bastard. He lost about 60 pounds in weight during 2003. |

well its a lot less "pretend" than a few spotty white Englishmen (and now rich ones)playing Chicago and Delta blues, when you think about it  |

Maybe Steve Earle should call up Bill Wyman's wigman. I'm with Fiji on this one: Steve Earle sux. |

I like Steve Earle. I've always considered him to be the country rock version of Keith.
Earle has made the records that Keith & Gram were meant to make. |

I've been meaning to investigate Steve Earle's music for some time. Does he support the UN? Does he love or hate America?
Thanks in advance. |

As Gazza quite rightly said Steve has been remarkably consistent for twenty years. Something you can't say when listenig to the Stones the last 20 years. To be clear: Steve has made better records during these 20 years than the Stones from 1981 on and has written songs the Stones can only dream of nowadays. |

He disagrees with the current adminisrtration as do I. To disagree with what they are doing is not hatred of America. If anything it proves we care. Get real. |

Lighten up! The guy's a blowhard but I'm sure he doesn't literally hate this country. Get relaxed. |
