5.0 out of 5 stars
Continually fresh, March 2, 2002
This review is from: The Mountain (Audio CD)
I am beginning to be convinced that Steve Earle is a genius. His outing with the Del McCoury band makes each of these new (as of 1998) Steve Earle compositions sound simultaneously fresh and as old and traditional as the craggy mountain music from which they draw their strongest influence. "Texas Eagle," a cry for the passing of the old railroad trains and that way of life, sounds like something Johnny Cash might have written in the 1950s and manages to distill disgust, hope, nostalgia and an actual story into the briefest of three minute and twenty-eight second songs. "Carrie Brown" sounds like a sister piece to the chilling traditional tune "Barbara Allen"--you have to love a song that states baldly, "I shot him in Virginia and he died in Tennessee." This superb album sounds continually fresh even if you're listening to it for the 100th time.
