Steve Earle: “I’m basically a folk singer, and that job is musicology to a certain extent”
There’s a pretty interesting interview with Steve Earle linked below.
Mother Jones: Whenever I hear you speak about music, history, or anything, really, I’m always amazed by your encyclopedic recall.
Steve Earle: It’s just my job. I’m basically a folk singer, and that job is musicology to a certain extent. There is an academic quality to it—which is one of the things that people criticize.
John Moreland: “This is a record about home. Whatever that is.”
“This is a record about home. Whatever that is.”
There’s a great preview and a few songs from the new John Moreland album up at John Moreland – High On Tulsa Heat – 2015 » ninebullets.net. I can’t wait to hear the whole album.
