Title: Song-For-Song, a Near Perfect CD
Review: Transcendental Blues is yet another classic Steve Earle album offering a nearly flawless set of Rock, Mellow Rock and Folk songs. Similar to Jerusalem, these guitar-based songs are organic, free of polish and carry the same grassroots/Americana feel as The Jayhawks, John Melloncamp and old electric Neil Young. Not a bad song on the CD. I continue to make the Springsteen comparison because of basic similarities: both delivery highly charged lyrics addressing politics, social issues and are revered within the music industry. Earle enjoys significant recognition, but not always with the casual music fan - if you like Springsteen, you should try Steve Earle.GENRES: Rock, Mellow Rock, Folk.BUY IF YOU LIKE: Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, John Prine, The Jayhawks, John Melloncamp.MUST HEAR TRACKS: "Transcendental Blues," "Everyone's In Love With You," "Another Town," "I Can Wait," "Steve's Last Ramble," "Lonelier Than This," "When I Fall."
