SONG DIVING with Steve Earle

We dive in with Steve Earle, singer-songwriter known for songs like “Guitar Town,” “Copperhead Road,” and “Transcendental Blues.”Along the way, we explore the music and voices that shaped how he hears and writes songs, from Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan to Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark. Steve talks about chasing songs across Texas and Nashville, and what he learned as a student and peer of the songwriters who set the bar.We also talk about how songs let you sing things you might not say out loud, and the storytelling, empathy, and characters behind songs like “The Devil’s Right Hand,” “Tom Ames’ Prayer,” and “John Walker’s Blues.”It’s a conversation about how a songwriter is shaped by the music around them, the rooms they find their way into, and the people who show them what’s possible.
