iTunes Review

Like its predecessor, Jerusalem, The Revolution Starts Now is an assemblage of American musical forms: the crafted folk and country of Earle’s youth, the earnest rock ‘n’ roll embodied by Bruce Springsteen, the cacophonous fervor of modern-day garage rock and electronica. Arriving on the heels of September 11th, Jerusalem adopted a tone of dread and foreboding and contained some of the darkest material of Earle’s career. The Revolution Starts Now moves past that and embraces the optimism of early 2004, when the Bush administration’s days appeared to be numbered. Earle’s side ended up losing that particular battle, but rabble-rousing rock songs like “The Seeker” and “The Revolution Starts Now”— not to mention the blitzkrieg bop of “F the CC”— live on as impassioned, irreverent tokens of anti-government pro-populist sentiment in the mid-‘00s. But the tracks that give the album its heart and soul are “Comin’ Around” and “I Thought You Should Know,” two love songs that aren’t specifically political, but exude Earle’s renewed faith and optimism toward the world around him.

I was introduced to Steve Earle From XM radio when they had the X Country channel. The song I first heard was Billie and Bonnie and it was on X Countrys Barn Burnin show at the time.

Since then, I hear him all the time on XMs Outlaw Country such as The Revolution Starts Now. I immediately came here and bought the CD. Though it's not new, it is to me. Good stuff!

Poor boys listen up!

I grew up on Steve Earle(a regular guy) and this album is nothing short of amazing. "Home to Houston", "Rich mans war" these are songs about half of my friends who joined the millitary for that big sign on bonus, free school, and a chance to see the world. They went to a school of death, traveled the middle east, and will get half of what they were promised "IF" they make it home. But were not supposed to say that. Well F!#$ the FCC! This is a beutiful album, with an outlook based on regular guys, guys who get the shaft for trying to make something of themselves. "guess no a days it just don't pay to be a good 'ole boy. I'm with ya Steve. The revolution starts now!

I think the drugs fried his brain!

Biography

Born: January 17, 1955 in Fort Monroe, VA

Genre: Country

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s

In the strictest sense, Steve Earle isn't a country artist; he's a roots rocker. Earle emerged in the mid-'80s, after Bruce Springsteen had popularized populist rock & roll and Dwight Yoakam had kick-started the neo-traditionalist movement in country music. At first, Earle appeared to be more indebted...
