It takes cojones to get onstage accompanied by nothing but a ukulele and pull off a song. A soulful performance, but the sunken eyes, heavy eyelids, bandanas/bandages on his wrist, tattoos, dark gaps between his teeth and overall skinniness make him look kinda scary.

There's a story where Steve say's Townes himself told him he looked horrible and better slow down a bit. In the midst of his heroin years in this clip and thank god he got better.

well, that's lovely for you, but to tell somsone they "suck" is 3rd grade logic, at best. they were incredible musicians from Texas. And Steve Earle has more than "some" talent. of course, this clip showed him at his worst and maybe Jerry Jeff's day has come and gone, but really......to use words like suck just reinforces my opinion that Rick Perry isn't the only redneck in the state.

Look at you back then, Steve Earle. I guess you know how lucky you are to be alive. Look like you're half dead. Grateful you made it.

Steves personal life has nothing to do with the great music he worte. He is an artist and playes what he feels. You watch too many soap tv shows. Love him or leave him. Don't cut him up! We all have shit going on!

Do you have a video of Cocaine Cannot Kill My Pain from the Texas Connection? He sings that one with such pain its on the verge of disturbing to see but is so emotionally done... If you can find it check it out, best Steve performance I've seen yet

Texas is legendary for producing first class musicians...Austin is the Live Music Capital of the world and lil ol Lubbock is an incubator for Austin bound musicians..I'm a native Texan and believe there's only two states..Texas and not Texas.....regardless of what you think about the Lone Star state..Texas' musicians speak for themselves..

Steve financed every crackhouse in Nashville until he'd sold his last guitar, I've heard him say it was mourning Townes that started it and his own brand of Townes's self destructivenes that kept it going. The fact that he's still with us is a gift from either god or Stephen F Austin

There was a Rock Radio program in Houston (KSRR 97 ROCK) who interviewed Steve back in 1989 or 90. Steve was hoarse and said he felt pretty bad but the DJ badgered him about singing playing to a canned backing track. Earle politely declined 3 times and pointedly said, "I'm gonna save what I got left for the fans tonight." I've thought that was very responsible of him. The DJ was a guy Handled "MOBY". We haven't heard anything about him since.
