Lead Performance: Steve Earle and the Del Mccoury Band; Genre: Country/Bluegrass
B+
On his first all-bluegrass album, Earle's anarchic spirit roughens up the normally polished McCoury Band, but the result is far from amateurish -- rather, it's the sound of consummate pros having a blast. As on almost all his albums, Earle wrote everything. Best line (from ''Carrie Brown,'' a murder ballad set in the town of Bristol, which straddles two states): ''I shot him in Virginia, and he died in Tennessee.''
