Steve Earle - Live From Austin, TX '2004/2017

Tracks list

Steve Earle wasnt yet one of the most respected, intelligent, and controversial
voices in Nashville when he stepped on-stage for a taping of the long-running
public television series Austin City Limits in the fall of 1986 — back
then, he was a promising newcomer who was touring behind his well-received debut
album, Guitar Town, and was recording the follow-up in fits and starts when he
had downtime from the road. Live from Austin TX, part of a series of CD and DVD
releases from the rich Austin City Limits archive, captures Earle when his
confidence and stage smarts were not quite what they would be later on, and
though there are more than a few great songs in this set, many of the tunes that
would become cornerstones of his later live show (especially the mature work
from his post-vacation in the ghetto period) havent been written yet, and
frankly this edition of the Dukes wasnt the strongest he would ever have. But
Earles energy and enthusiasm is well in evidence on this set, his voice is in
solid shape, and the performance builds up a solid head of steam as it chugs
through a solid 17-song set. Live from Austin TX is hardly the definitive Steve
Earle live album, but its a fine snapshot of a major artist as he was first
getting accustomed to the spotlight, and the talent, swagger, and conscience
that would mark his best known work are all in evidence here, even if they
havent yet reached sharp focus. ~ Mark Deming
