Title: Not the same Steve Earle as Guitar Town
Review: I haven't bought a Steve Earle album since Guitar Town, which I purchased back around 1989. I should have listened to a few of the sample tracks before buying Transcendental Blues, because this album doesn't sound anything like what I expected. Some of the tracks still retain the unique Steve Earle country/rockabilly sound, but most of the songs remind me more of Elvis Costello than they do Steve Earle, and I'm not an Elvis Costello fan by any stretch. And on top of that, one of the tracks concludes with a profanity that will prevent me from playing this album whenever my seven-year-old is within earshot. Very disappointing.
