With a slight delay yet no less love, Team Goatwar Galore are giddy in choosing the June 6
2000 release
Transcendental Blues by
Steve Earle.
I had a hard time choosing between this album and his previous release El Corazon. Songwriting and emotion on both are second to none. I think maybe I was tied to this release a bit more due to having seen my first Steve Earle gig just a few weeks prior to the release of Transcendental Blues. I've seen him many times since but that first gig was still magical for me.
For me, Earle has lost his way a bit recently. Too much politics and promotion of his wife maybe. Anyways this album was a bueat. Not your pappy's Steve Earle.
