专辑介绍
by Mark Deming
Steve Earle always played hard country music with the swagger of a rock & roll star, so it made sense that he would take a detour out of Nashville, both literally and figuratively. On Copperhead Road, Earle opted to record in Memphis and veered away from mainstream country in several directions at once -- into potent hard rock (most notably on the superb title song, which became his first rock radio hit), as well as Irish folk (with the Pogues backing Earle on "Johnny Come Lately") and even bluegrass (virtuoso acoustic pickers Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas sit in on "Nothing But a Child"). If Copperhead Road lacked a bit of the tight focus of his acclaimed debut, Guitar Town, it had energy, firepower, and smart-ass humor to spare (along with Earle's always-superb songs), and it made clear that Steve Earle had the stuff to be a contender in rock & roll, if that were what he wanted.
Deluxe Edition (2008)
On April 29, 2008, Geffen Records/Universal Music released a 2-disc deluxe edition of Copperhead Road. Disc one is the album as listed above, digitally remastered. Disc two features previously unreleased live recordings.

- @巴朗：我非常喜欢他！
- @微微(英洋歌姬)：从严格的意义上说，美国另类乡谣音乐界的旗手Steve Earle算不上一位纯粹的乡村歌手，他的音乐中有着太多的兼收并蓄和折中主义，比那些一顶牛仔帽、一把吉他的乡村歌手要复杂得多。 Earle的个人经历相当坎坷：他从70年代初就踏入乐坛，但直到1986年才以专辑《Guitar Town》一鸣惊人。现年45岁的他已经经历过6次婚姻（！）。90年代初，吸毒和酗酒几乎毁掉了Earle的歌唱事业，94年他一度还曾因私藏毒品被判刑。但自从1995年复出以来，Earle洗心革面，创作力极其旺盛，以一年一张的速度出版专辑，而且每一张都是既叫好又叫座。
