Overview
Earleās stories reflect the many facets of the man and the hard-fought struggles, the defeats, and the eventual triumphs he has experienced during a career spanning three decades. In the title story he offers us a gut-wrenchingly honest portrait of a nearly famous singer whose life and soul have been all but devoured by drugs. āBilly the Kidā is a fable about everything that will never happen in Nashville, and āWheeler Countyā tells a romantic, sweet-tempered tale about a hitchhiker stranded for years in a small Texas town. A story about the husband of a murder victim witnessing an execution addresses a subject Earle has passionately taken on as a social activist, and a cycle of stories features āthe American,ā a shady international wanderer, Vietnam vet, and sometime drug smuggler ā a character who can be seen as Earleās alter ego, the person he might have become if he had been drafted.
Earle is a songwriterās songwriter, and here he takes his writing gift into another medium, along with all the grace, poetry, and deep feeling that has made his music honored around the world.
