Steve Earle-Copperhead Road
I really loved this album. I think Steve is very underrated both as a songwriter and an activist, and I think this album is American music at it's finest. My favorite song would have to be his collaboration with the Pogues "Johnny Come Lately". Listen to the words, it is a song his Grandfather used to sing him about the reception the WWII soldiers got when they came home and the reception the Vietnam soldiers got when they came home. "Standin on a runway in San Diego, couple purple hearts so I move a little slow, ain't nobody here so maybe nobody knows, about a place called Vietnam"
