    Disgusted with Nashville, Earle's third album for MCA was distributed by UNI,an LA-based rock label. "Copperhead Road" yeilded his biggest hit to date, the crossover rock hit title track. "Copperhead ROad" was first-person point of view story of 3 g...enerations of Tennessee bootleggers and "farmers."

Pro Reviews: Copperhead Road

  • All Music Guide

    Steve Earle always played hard country music with the swagger of a rock roll star, so it made sense that he would take a detour out of Nashville, both literally and figuratively. On Copperhead Road, Earle opted to record in Memphis and veered away from mainstream country in several directions at once -- into potent hard rock (most notably on the superb title song, which became his first rock radio hit), as well as Irish folk (with The Pogues backing Earle on "Johnny Come Lately"), and even bluegrass (virtuoso acoustic pickers Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas sit in on "Nothing But a Child"). If Copperhead Road lacked a bit of the tight focus of his acclaimed debut Guitar Town, it had energy, firepower, and smart-ass humor to spare (along with Earle's always-superb songs), and it made clear that Steve Earle had the stuff to be a contender in rock roll, if that was what he wanted.

Biography

Steve Earle

In the strictest sense, Steve Earle isn't a country artist, he's a roots rocker. Earle emerged in the mid-'80s, after Bruce Springsteen had popularized populist rock roll and Dwight Yoakam had kick-started the neo-traditionalist movement in country music. At first, Earle appeared to be more toward the rock side than the country. He played a stripped-down neo-rockabilly... Read more
