Release Notes:

Over the past 27 years Steve Earle's music has journeyed all across the
Americana spectrum: country, rock, folk, Beatlesque psychedelia, topical folk
songs, etc. He's even done a covers record of Townes Van Zandt songs to pay
tribute to his late mentor and friend. His very best offerings are those he's
recorded with his Twang Trust production partner, Ray Kennedy. They're together
here. Over 12 songs, Earle does what he does best: he tells stories that get
under the skin and into the bones. Backed by the Dukes (& Duchesses), his road
band, the title track's first-person vignette captures the strangeness and
contradiction of America from a small vantage point, a first-person narrative
about traveling. His world-weary voice brings the listener into the meld of
fiddle, strummed acoustic guitars, and whining pedal steel and keeps her there,
seeing it all through his eyes.
