Annotation

Holy Hell!
Three CD's of live tracks, B-sides, promo-only songs, collaborations, duets, tribute album and compilation appearances by Steve Earle (more HERE). I listened to the whole thing yesterday and simply marveled at the sheer level of quality represented here. While there is an excess of versions of "Copperhead Road" here, the riches amongst these fifty-seven tracks are hard to ennumerate; the chilling, quiet version of "Ellis Unit One", the Supersucker-powered "Before They Make Me Run", the covers of Bruce Springsteen (twice!), The Rolling Stones, Jimmie Rodgers, Gram Parsons, Buddy Holly, Townes Van Zandt and...and... this thing is just fuckin' packed! Clearly, Earle needs to make his own Tracks-like rarities box set so that you can ditch this temporary placeholder and get your mitts on the real thing!

God, if you don't think this deserves a word of thanks - your conscience has shut down!
