STEVE EARLE Live At Montreux Eagle EAGCD333 (2006)
A chequered career with plenty of lows and highs, this 2005 set was a bit of a triumphant return for Earle. Just man and guitar and harmonica, and some heartfelt songs along the way.
Folk rock and a touch of the blues, it's an enjoyable one man show much enjoyed the crowd. 'The Devil's Right Hand' is uptempo, while 'Dixieland' has more a bluegrass feel.
Enjoyable but hardly rock'n'roll.
