Born in 1983, he was raised in a small town in lower Michigan and eventually found his way to the north where this album was recorded. His talents range from guitar to sitar and a whole lot more in between. Some of his major influences hail from the 60's. This includes such bands as The Beatles, The Zombies, Rolling Stones, and The Beach Boys. Although he has many other influences as well from different time periods, ranging from Chopin to Radiohead. His sound has often been described as a sort of Folk Rock meets Psychedelic sound. He is currently working on a new album and has great optimism for a summer release.

March 2024- Revisiting a time-tested Earle classic after a good friend and wife went to see him last night at the Grand Ole Opry. I shared that I too saw him in his youth right after he released the Copperhead Road album (late 1980s). If you like this album, check out his previous album, EXIT O. Steve Earle is a genuine American treasure.

My five times great grandfather, born in Scotland, moved to America in early 1770s. Lived in Philadelphia til after the War of Independence. He was in the Militiamen who fought the British. After America was free, he moved to Ross's Landing, now known as Chattanooga, TN. He died in 1831 and is buried in Blount County, TN. Of him it was said, even in his published obit, that he made the finest whiskey known to man. There were no laws at that time prohibiting folks from making their own. I imagine that this would have been some of the early beginnings of whiskey making in Tennessee. So the Moonshine heritage in Tennessee dates WAY back

I was curious so I just did the math and 100 pounds of yeast is enough to make 6500 gallons of Mash. Went to Town twice a year so 13,000. After Distilling the mash, that's about 4,000 gallons of alcohol. Moonshine season Runs about 26 weeks. That'd be running about 153 gallons a week. 3 to keep, 150 to bootleg.

At 140 to 190 proof depending on what part of the run ya get, it's all so 😅 smooth you don't even feel it go down but then it hits nice and warm on its way back up.
