Man, saw Steve Earle w/The Dukes and Allison Moorer ... it was about as packed as I've ever seen it at the Showbox, maybe because Steve just pulled in that Grammy last week.
Great hard-rockin' / country / blues show, Earle is one of my favorite songwriters out there and his choices of cover songs were certainly popular with the crowd ... Chamber Brothers' "Time Has Come Today," ... Beatles' "Revolution," the Stones' "Sweet Virginia" and a Nirvana tune just for local flavor.
Allison Moorer ... wow, what a voice. Great complement to Earle's band.
Very political show, Steve is hardcore anti-war (album title: "The Revolution Stars Now") and delivers that message loud and clear during song breaks, as well as with a few tunes. Not a show for the rigidly right-wing, but if you like a great rockin' show, check Steve's site for tour dates near you, one of my best concert experiences in a few years.
