Here's a collection of early eighties rockabilly-styled material Steve Earle (more HERE) recorded for Epic Records, which the label only released after Earle's success with Guitar Town. The songs were recorded between 1982 and 1985; and includes all the tracks from from 1982's Pink and Black EP. It's a fun collection, which shows Earle the song-writer chafing at the inherent limits of the genre he's been placed into. That said, we get to here an early version of one's Earle's most vivid story-songs, "The Devil's Right Hand".

1 Nothin' But You
2 If You Need A Fool

Love Steve Earle... this album is a mix of gems & generic... He hadn't really found his voice, still in the Nashville Tunesmith for Hire mode... interested to hear the bonus singles
ReplyDeleteI almost think he was hiding his voice,lest Nashville see how dark his talent was.
