586<font face="arial,helvetica"><font size=-1>"In country music, the man who
587mattered the most was Steve Earle, a troubled Texas Troubador whom we last
588heard on <u>The Mountain</u>, an inspired summit meeting with bluegrass
589hero Del McCoury.&nbsp; Country music gained widespread popularity in the
590'90s, but in doing so became watered down, as some of its most popular
591artists — Shania Twain, for example — are hardly country at all.</font></font>
592<p><font face="arial,helvetica"><font size=-1>"For popularity alone, Twain
593and Garth Brooks are the heavy hitters.&nbsp; But thank goodness, sales
594are never all that matter, and the last half of the decade saw the rise
595of 'alternative country' in the form of Whiskeytown, Wilco, Junior Brown,
596Wayne 'The Train' Hancock, Robbie Fulks, the Mavericks, the Old 97's and
597others.&nbsp; Among them, Steve Earle is the guiding light: after years
598as a drug addict (including a stint in jail), he turned his life around
599with a series of no-punches-pulled records and a rep as one of America's
600finest songwriters.&nbsp; He's started his own label, E-Squared, produced
601worthy artists such as the V-Roys and Irishman Bap Kennedy, and toured
602extensively.</font></font>
603<p><font face="arial,helvetica"><font size=-1>"He will be the keynote speaker
604at the South by Southwest music conference in March in Austin, and if the
605past five years of his life are any indication, he hasn't even made the
606best music of his career.&nbsp; Now that's cause for celebration.&nbsp;
607Viva Steve."</font></font></blockquote>

1397habit that had been a parasitic sidekick throughout a decade-long career,
1398Earle turned his back to the audience during one particularly tumultuous
1399ovation as if to gather himself. He joked, "I'm not that well yet," but
1400the music argued otherwise, as Earle brusquely strummed and sang his mythic
1401tales of Southern sinners, loners and losers trough a lattice-work of virtuoso
1402string accompaniment."</font></font></center>
