iTunes Review
A maverick to his Virginia-born bones, Earle took a long stride toward freedom on 1988's Copperhead Road. The guitars snarl and the drums slam fiercely on this fiery, take-no-prisoners song collection. The title track (a FM rock favorite) and "The Devil's Right Hand" roar with the defiance of a Confederate guerilla force, with Earle's vocals ringing with feverish desperation. Softer tunes like "Nothing but a Child" (a tender nativity song) take the edge off the anger. Another highpoint, "Johnny Come Lately," matches him with the Pogues for a galloping Irish-Appalachian romp. At this point in his career, Earle was veering away from Nashville's restrictions and reveling in his own potent country/rock/folk blend fearlessly. He's gone on to release other outstanding albums, but Copperhead Road is unmatched for its musical ferocity and fine-etched lyrical insights. There's venom and honey alike to be savored here.

Even When I'm Blue 5/5 Even though this album has great songs Copperhead Road and Even Whem I'm blue are my favorites. This song has some great songwriting.
You Belong to Me 4/5 This is not the best song on the album but it is OK.
Waitin on You 4/5 I like the song, it is a little slower but it still keeps this as a great album.
Once You Love 3/5 It is OK but not my favorite.
Nothing but a Child 3/5 it is also not my favorite, the first 8 songs are the best.
5 stars are for perfection only
by morrThis is real close. Copperhead Road out-Skynyrds Skynyrd (The Devil's Right Hand & Snake Oil), out-CDBs Charlie Daniels (Johnny Come Lately), out-Soul Asylums Soul Asylum (Even When I'm Blue), out-Cougars John Mellencamp throughout and breaks ground for Uncle Tupelo and Wilco. Steve Earle is like the Motorhead of alt-country. The punkers and metalheads all have Ace of Spades in their collection (as do any real rock fans) and it's probably right near Copperhead Road in the CD changer. A need-to-have recording.
A very good album
by martinCopperhead Road was the first Steve Earle album I ever heard, and it blew me away the moment I heard it. The title track is simply amazing, and the albums is an in your face slab of southern rock. If you are looking for a Steve Earle album to introduce yourself to is music, I suggest you start with this on. He has a new album coming out in a week so be on the look out for it
