Steve Earle

It's time for episode 122 of the Songcraft: Spotlight on Songwriters podcast, and this one is special. Scott B. Bomar and Paul Duncan meet up with songwriting superhero and 16-time Grammy nominee Steve Earle, who chats about the concert that inspired him to write "Guitar Town," what he really thinks of the "Copperhead Road" line dancing phenomenon, who he says is THE badass songwriter in Nashville today, the song he'd play for Guy Clark if he were still with us, and why he's writing a political album that's not about preaching to the choir. It's a good one, folks! Have a listen.
