Free Music Notes for El Corazon
Free Music Review: El Corazon full of heart!
Hit: 5 Stars
Steve Earle got out of prison and drug rehab, and returned in1996 with a brilliant comeback album I Feel Alright. I thought nothing could approach the greatness of that album, but Earle has released another stellar effort in El Corazon. I Feel Alright was a versatile record, but El Corazon is Earle's most diverse work yet. The album opens and closes with folk ballads, Christmas in Washington and Fort Worth Blues. In between , Steve varies from pure rock(NYC,If You Fall),to bluegrass(I Still Carry You Around), to bluesy swing(Telephone Road), and country(The Other Side of Town). Also included is a beautiful duet called Poison Lovers. It's hard to describe this song, other than to say it's artistically creative enough that it's hard to imagine anyone sitting down and writing it. If you love pure music and aren't interested in pigeonholing, you will thoroughly enjoy this incredibly talented musician's work. To say Earle is a gifted singer-songwriter is a massive understatement. This edgy record whets the appetite for what Steve will create in the 21st century and beyond.Free Music Review: Great album.
Hit: 5 Stars
After "Train a Comin'" and "I Feel Alright", who knew what lay in store. With, "El Corazon", Earle didn't just release the second best album of his career ("Trancsendental Blues" holds that title) but he broke some serious new ground here by covering everything from country to bluegrass to grunge-rock to blues to folk. Who would've ever thought that his best stuff would've ever come out after what people thought was his prime. Remember, after all this guy has been through, he should have been dead twenty years ago. I encourage any and everyone to pick up this album. If you've never heard him before, GREAT, this is a perfect place to start. "El Corazon" is sheer perfection from a guy who has seen and done it all. Oh, you may want to disregard what one reviewer said about "Christmas in Washington" being a weak song. It may have a very minimalist feel (that was the intention) but the message is ANYTHING but weak. Just listen to the words and I think that you'll agree. Just wait till you hear "Taneytown"...
Free Music Review: A heart that beats with power and conviction.
Hit: 5 Stars
EL CORAZON once again gives us the Steve Earle we want to hear; the fearless poet of love and beliefs that refuses to back off just because someone might be offended.
I didn't even like "Christmas in Washington" a little too slow and preachy for me, but I hold Earle in high esteem because he will even make the attempt to bring politics back into music. "Taneytown" with its dark story of racism, The pain felt in the vocal of "If You Fall," and the regular guy on "Telephone Road<" these are the Earle tunes that show him at his best.
I even don't mind when Earle goes totally country ("I Still Carry You Around" "The Other Side of Town")because he does it so well. Why wasn't "NYC" a hit? As good a rocker as he's ever done. In this world of compromise, Earle doesn't cater to anyone; he just is what he is. He says it best on "Here I Am," a rocking anthem:
With a song in my heart
And an attitude from the start
I took everybody apart
To see how they work
And I, for one, am glad.
Free Music Review: an excellent set of songs - one of his best albums!

this was my intro to Steve Earle and I keep going back to it.
it took me about 2 years to finally listen to Steve, but it has been the best thing to happen musically in a very long time.
I am very glad I did not pass his music by...

I want to go out and tell everyone I know that Steve Earle is one of the greatest singer/songwriters of today. the consistency is amazing - the overall flow of his albums are years ahead of any one hit wonder. I appreciate good music and great lyrics - this is where I get off......

Free Music Review: This alblum is an emotional rush:
Hit: 5 Stars
In 1986, a friend called me and told me to get all I could get by Steve Earle. I bought Guitar Town and Exit O and thus began a 13 year love of the best story song writer writing today! Steve learned from Guy Clark and Townes and with El Courazon has written the best variety of story songs you could ever want. Starting with the thought provoking Christmas In Washington and ending with the beautiful Ft. Worth Blues, Steve runs you from giddy fun on I Still Carry You Around and You Know The Rest to the Alt Country Rock of N.Y.C.. I guess I love this so much because I get emotionally envolved with every song. Sometimes when I'm driving to work and listening to El Corazon I find my foot tapping, my hand slapping the steering wheel , a big grin on my face and I'm yelling a big Y-e-e-e- Ha-w-w-. Enough said! Do yourself this best favor you've done for you in a long time and run get this alblum. It's one you'll listen to over and over again.
