Even to people who didn't like country, there were certain albums that caught their ear and brought them in. Dwight Yoakam did that in the 80's and so did a man named Steve Earle in 1985.

Steve quickly became one of my favorites when I first heard the title cut 'Guitar Town' and then discovered the rest of this killer album. Steve helped me rediscover my love of country with this record. He then blew me away a couple years later with 'Copperhead Road'.

Here is a couple cuts from that epic album as well as a trip down Copperhead Road. Buckle up! It's time machine time.
