If Steve Earle weren't a living, breathing person, he'd be a character in a blues song -- a raucous ballad about a gifted rebel who drank too much, lost most of his women in a blizzard of crack and cocaine addiction, and always came out on the wrong side of the law. Somewhere in the midst of all this, he also managed to weld rock to country, the Beatles to Springsteen, and bluegrass to punk, establishing himself among the most thoroughly original and politically astute musicians of his generation. Granted unrestricted access to Steve and his family and friends, Lauren St John has given us a sometimes shocking, often moving, and completely unvarnished biography of one of America's most talismanic sons.

Howard Frank Mosher, author of A Stranger in the Kingdom writes 'The Dixie Chicks tell us in their latest album that the gritty, authentic tradition of Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and Hank Williams Sr. is 'a long time gone' from today's sanitized studios on Music Row. But as Lauren St John makes abundantly clear in Hardcore Troubadour, her wonderfully spirited and sympathetic new biography of Steve Earle, Earle is a worthy successor to the all-time greats of country and Americana music. Hardcore Troubadour is a fast-paced, clear-eyed celebration of a superb singer/songwriter and a marvelously generous man. Over many years of tumult and triumph, Steve Earle has had the courage to explore places in his heart that most songwriters only dream of reaching.'
