copperhead road

Steve Earle released Copperhead Road in 1988. Often referred to as Earle's first Rock record, Earle himself calls it the world's first blend of Heavy Metal and Bluegrass. Whatever you call it, the album introduces Country music's storytelling and three-chord structures to Rockabilly and contemporary Rock. The first half of the record contains mainly political tracks dealing with poverty, war veterans, the War on Drugs and former president Ronald Reagan whereas the second half is much more personal, containing slower tempo love songs. For the song "Johnny Come Lately" Earle is backed by The Pogues."
