first album
it has a lot of good songs all of which were singles off the album and some that were not singles. this was the first cd from steve earle and it was good for the time when it came out. if you like rockin country with a twist of mellow this is the album for you.


ROCKABILLY MUSIC
if you like rock, blues you need this cd. This is Steve Earle's first alblum and his best.
it's great.


At one time, he traded his favorite guitar for drugs

Hard to get to get air play. Steve Earl is a force in American Music that is not just Folk, Rock, Country, or Pop. Like Mary Gauthier, Lucinda Williams, and Anne McCue; a radio programmer's nightmare. This is good though because these artists stand pat and do not bend with the dollar. .


If "Hillbilly" is a positive for you instead of a dismissive term, you should like it.
Song after song can grip you, if you know small towns. One of the best written albums of the 1980's. Earle seemed to be trying too hard in his early years and then went Hollywood after this album hit. This one defines him, not "Copperhead Road. " He just wrote very well and accurately on this one. Good strong riffs, well produced, and soulful. All the elements I need for a 5 star rating. This album is comparable to Lucinda Williams's "Car Wheels. . . " in that it has a unifying theme, is dead-on to the theme, and has great performances. If "Hillbilly" is a positive for you instead of a dismissive term, you should like it. "Nothin ever happens around my home town and I aint the kind to just hang around. . . ".


Five star fabulous!!
So naturally, it was largely ignored by the music row jugheads in Nashville forcing our hero to go into the realm of rock music in order to have his talent appreciated. Dare I say it, this is THE BEST country album that was recorded in the eighties. The first six songs on this release are perfect in every way! Anyone who likes vintage Dwight Yoakam, the folkier side of Springsteen or the seventies era of Waylon Jennings should own this!! The title track is marvelous and just a blast to listen to, "Goodbye Is All We Got Left To Say" is one of the best written songs ever and "Hillbilly Highway" will get stuck in your head for days!! Then as if this trio wasn't good enough, then along comes "Gettin' Tough" to knock you upside the head followed by a couple songs later by "Someday" known as the greatest song Springsteen NEVER wrote! If this album isn't a five star, then I don't know what is!! Buy it, love it, live it!! It's that good!! .
