EL CORAZON was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
Steve Earle was a country-rock renegade when Uncle Tupelo were still in short pants and NO DEPRESSION was an inscription on a Prozac bottle. EL CORAZON stands as a milestone in the long, checkered career of an artist who's been to hell and back without losing an ounce of his songwriting talent. This uniformly excellent batch of tunes alternates between gentle acoustic ballads and hard-rocking numbers that could give those grunge boys a run for their money. (In fact, Seattle's Supersuckers guest on one track.)
On the opener, "Christmas in Washington," Earle invokes the spirit of bygone heroes like Woody Guthrie and Martin Luther King in service of an unpretentious folk ballad of socio-political discontent. He shows off his storytelling chops on the rocking "Taneytown," supported by the breathy harmonies of Emmylou Harris. The elegiac "Ft. Worth Blues" pays tribute to Earle's old running buddy and primary influence, the late Townes Van Zandt. Throughout, the album lives up to its title, spilling messy emotions all over the place and wallowing in the carnage.
Recorded at Room & Board, Nashville, Tennessee and Ironwood Studios, Seattle, Washington. Includes liner notes by Steve Earle.

Rolling Stone (12/11/97, p.78) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...Earle's strongest statement to date about what makes his heart beat and blood boil....he straddles a bunch of styles with the nimble ease of a homespun visionary who correctly sees that ultimately it's all one..." Entertainment Weekly (10/17/97, p.77) - "Eleven years after his prescient debut, this prickly alt-country survivor's insights into institutional callousness...romantic longing...and personal iconoclasm...resonate with hard-won wisdom..." - Rating: A- Village Voice (2/24/98) - Ranked #11 in the Village Voice's 1997 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll. Mojo (Publisher) (6/00, p.43) - "If you had to get just one Steve Earle record, then this is it. Stylistically, it covers all of his bases, from acoustic balladry to fuzzed-up grunge and consistently marries brilliant songwriting to brilliant playing..."

American Flyer has long been a favorite of singer/songwriter, L.A. country-rock, and '70s soft rock aficionados, partially because of the group's supergroup status, but chiefly because the music they made was very, very good. That pedigree was indeed impressive, with the four members consisting of former Pure Prairie League member Craig Fuller, Eric Kaz of the Blues Magoos, Doug Yule of the Velvet Underground, and Steve Katz, formerly of Blood, Sweat & Tears -- maybe not Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in terms of marquee name recognition, but surely a collection of gifted and respected singer/songwriters who complemented each other nicely. While they had some modest success with their George Martin-produced 1976 eponymous debut, they had a difficult time breaking into a larger audience, even though their music fit neatly into the L.A. soft rock scene, equal parts country-rock and tuneful popcraft. While American Flyer didn't storm up the charts, it was a promising start, but unfortunately its self-produced (with Ken Friesen) 1977 follow-up, Spirit of a Woman, made even less of an impact, and the bandmembers went their separate ways afterward (Fuller & Kaz cut an impressive album the next year for Columbia). Although they didn't make much of an impression at the time, the two ...
