Steve Earle and the Dukes September 7, 2007

A legend in the genre of alternative country, roots rocker Steve Earle has made a career of bucking the trends and traditions of Nashville. His latest album, 'Jerusalem' features the controversial song, 'John Walker's Blues.' Allison Moorer is a popular soloist who tours nationally. Singer-songwriter-actor Loudon Wainwright III was once tagged as one of the "New Bob Dylans," a group of performers with sharp and insightful songwriting. However, that moniker was shaken off quickly as his career gathered steam in the 70s and 80s. He is a multi-faceted performer (at times funny, at other times introspective) and overall one of America's great tunesmiths.
