First listen of Transcendental Blues last night. TB is Steve Earle’s 9th studio album, released in 2000. Wikipedia has virtually nothing about it. It does have a musician list for each track. For the song that had me dancing around the kitchen, Everyone’s in Love with You, the musicians are Steve Earle (electric guitar, vocals,) David Steele (electric guitar,) Kelley Looney (bass,) Will Rigby (drums, percussion,), and Tom Littlefield (vocals.)
Everyone’s in love with you
But you don’t seem to mind
But it must be tough when you’re cleanin’ up
Them broken hearts sometimes
Or maybe you just struggle through
And leave ’em where they lie
But everyone’s in love with you
In love with you
Everyone’s in love with you
They fall down at your feet
And impale themselves knowin’ full well
You’ll only watch ’em bleed
And they won’t stop ’til the final drop
Cause they think it’s what you need
And everyone’s in love
In love with you
You want everyone to want you
But you don’t want anyone to need you
Cause baby you don’t need to
Everyone’s in love with you
Or don’t you think I know
The way they all light up when you show up
And you’re baskin’ in the glow
I’d like to say that I ain’t that way
Like all your other fools
But everyone’s in love with you
And I am, too
I am, too
Songwriters: Steve Earle

His voice sounds a bit like Bob Dylan.

He does. One thing I don’t like is he mumbles.

Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan got away with mumbling, but their lyrics are great.

Everyone’s In Love With You–The Beatles influence is there. He’s big on The Beatles and The Stones…. but I guess who isn’t !

:) The last song on the CD tears me up. I think you wrote about this, where he was writing about being in prison?

Oh the last song- Over Yonder- Steve is really big against capital punishment and has written a few songs about it- this is about the execution of Jonathan Nobels by injection- which Steve witnessed.

oh right. Thanks for refreshing my memory. Does he ever sing Taneytown at his concerts? It’s one of my favorites of his.

I could listen to him all of the time. I like the voice and the emotion he puts into it.

Especially since this is his comeback album. My favorite album of his is still “Train A Comin” probably because it’s the first one I heard.

Off topic: I watched a 90min netflix disc on hobos across america. filmed in 2001 I think, narrated by Ernest Borgnine. They interviewed so many hobos, including Merle Haggard and James Michener, who looked to be about 100 years old in this. It was a great little documentary.

That sounds really interesting. I love docs about anything…In the 30s and 40s a lot of people lived that life…they might still…I need to watch it

Thanks Paul, One bird is the singer and one bird is the one everybody loves. (You choose who is who :) The rest is irrelevant so I made the rest of the picture fairly drab.
