Cover Of The Week: Steve Earle does Nirvana

Last week's Nirvana cover was pretty popular, so I hunted around for another. Steve Earle covered Nirvana's "Breed" (from Nevermind) when he needed a bonus track for the Japanese release of 2000's Transcendental Blues. The cover is a faithful translation of the original in all its blistering glory.

Steve Earle: 10-29-1999 Acoustic

I recently found this soundboard 1999 Steve Earle solo acoustic gig and thought it was fantastic. The set includes songs from Earle's entire career up to 1999 along with a couple of covers. I had to break the show up into two zip files and one single mp3 to accommodate SaveFile's size restrictions.

Live Concert Post #10: Steve Earle 04-10-1998

I've had the pleasure of seeing Steve Earle perform live a number of times, and I think my favorite tour was when he brought Buddy Miller out with him on guitar to support El Corazon. This show is from a date in Australia on that very tour.
