Negative Positive
Title: "...with a dark cloud hangin' down low."
Review: I grew up listening to this guy and four years ago he dropped THIS on us. I'd bought this as a present for my dad (who introduced me to Steve Earle) and I ended up keeping it for myself and wearing out that copy. Three copies later, it still remains one of my faves and I still believe this to be Steve's best recording. It doesn't matter how rock you are, how country you are, or how hip you are. EVERYONE will find something to love here. I just re-bought it last weekend on a road-trip to a Metallica concert so take that for what it's worth.Transcendental Blues may be the album of Steve's career. As much as I love "El Corazon", "Jerusalum", "I Feel Alright", and "The Hard Way" (Billy Austin never loses it's impact), this is still my favorite of his. If America had any taste in music whatsoever, this would have gotten a Grammy. That's all I have to say about that.
Is the review positive or negative?
