Steve Earle - Copperhead Road

It happens to every hard partier--your lifestyle eventually catches up to you. For Steve Earle, this third so-so effort from the then-roué-ish troubadour was a pretty glaring rehab-ahead warning light. The sloppiness was beginning to show: half the disc bogs down in throwaways, cheap echoes of Guitar Town and Exit 0's country-rock acumen. The rest, fortunately, is prime, focused Earle: the Vietnam-vet title track, the Wild West-themed "Snake Oil," and the oft-covered classic "The Devil's Right Hand," in which the composer achieves that perfect balance of city-slick pop and hillbilly twang. Earle would hit that one-two combo again, but not until he shook that party monkey a few albums later. --Tom Lanham Amazon.com

Good Album

I love Steve Earle. I think Side 1 (I used to have the cassette) is as good as anything you'll ever hear. Side 2 seemed to be sort of a letdown after those first five great songs. As to the editorial review: the "wild-west themed" Snake Oil is about POLITICS....and the BS we get from politicians......... March 14, 2008
