Does Steve Earle do it for anyone?
I personally never heard of the guy, but I read a concert review about him in the AJC (newspaper in ATL) and was impressed with what the reporter said about him. It said in part: "Though he drew from influences such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Ralph Stanley, Earle demonstrated why he has finally surfaced as one of the most respected artists of the year. His songs are often as simple as the cry of a harmonica or a three-chord progression out of the simplest of country songs. But it's his lyrics- about plain people, raw emotions and dreams- that are mesmerizing."
That last part could also describe someone we all know and love.
