The music business is a high-stakes, high-risk venture, and it's not unusual for things to wind up in court.

Some artists cannot be lumped into a category. We like to find the right box to file everything into including entertainers. They have to be country or pop or rock or folk and there are some that are just unique and don't really fit into any package. Steve Earle is one of those artists.

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.
