“Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world and I’ll stand on Bob Dylan’s coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that.” -Steve Earle

After listening to Steve’s new album, “Townes”, I would stand on that coffee table in agreement with him and add a few names of my own; like Willie Nelson who even today when he breaks out a new song at a concert never ceases to bring me to tears and Steve Earle himself who had me at “I lost my heart to a Galway girl.”

Tomorrow night I’m seeing Steve Earle live for the first time. I wish my mom was going with me…she has turned out to be my favorite concert companion and never looks at me funny when I cry during my favorite songs.  I can’t wait! It’s out doors at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens!! Woohoo!
