Steve Earle Jerusalem Rock Music Cd Review
By Clyde Lee Dennis
One word describes the CD Jerusalem from Steve Earle... AWESOME!
It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.
The nice thing about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Rock isn’t your favorite genre you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.
Listen to Jerusalem and I believe you’ll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Steve Earle is clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Rock you'll enjoy this album.
While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 1 - Ashes To Ashes, track 3 - Conspiracy Theory, and track 6 - What's A Simple Man To Do?
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 9 - I Remember You. Wow!
