5.0 out of 5 stars Steve Earle Does Mountain Music With Del McCoury, July 17, 2009

I really can not put into words how awesome this collaboration is, but I'll try. Steve Earle, the man who did such albums as Guitar Town (Remastered)(Bonus Track) and Copperhead Road, has reinvented himself several times over the years. His first albums had a rockabilly Johnny Cash / Bob Dylan type feel to them, but this is Bluegrass music at it's finest.
Teaming up with The Del McCoury Band who did such albums as Del and the Boys was a move that produced some amazing results. I love this album; it has that old time sound that harkens back to the days of country legends such as Bill Monroe, Flatts & Scruggs, and The Carpenter Family. There isn't a throw away tune on this whole CD. Every song is a gem. If you like Union Station or Kentucky Thunder and you don't have this album in your collection then you're missing out. Do yourself a favor and pick this up; you won't be sorry.

There are few singer/songwriters like Steve Earle who consistently produce thoughtful, intellectually stimulating, and foot stomping music. This effort, together with the incredibly gifted Del McCoury Band satisfies on every level. Harlan Man, The Mountain, and Pilgrim are American classics. But then again, virtually everything on this album is.
