Album Review: Steve Earle & The Dukes - Terraplane

Now approaching the 30th anniversary of his debut album, Earle has travelled through every stage a musical career can offer.

Perceived “one hit wonder”, road-worn journeyman, revered troubadour, elder statesman, with Terraplane, Earle shows he’s well and truly reached a place and earned the right to defy those kinds of cheap, easy classifications. Solid songwriting with a country, blues and bluegrass edge, delivered by a man completely on his own terms, nothing more, nothing less, Steve Earle & The Dukes have the confidence to deliver zero frills and the talent to back it up.
